When your son doesn’t want Daddy time
Show your support
My son will choose me over dad any day of the week, but if I’m not there then he’s more than happy with dad. Or if I don’t want to go out then I simply tell my son it’s dad’s turn today and then he’ll go off with dad. X
I have the opposite 😂 LO is bored of seeing me all the time and gets way more excited seeing Daddy. I never get that kind of enthusiasm 😅
bonding time is super important especially without you there. also the baby needs to see dad as someone who is consistent in their routine. like being a part of bedtime or bath time or story time or going to the park. but dad also has to figure out the best way for HIM to be a dad, letting him figure out what works for him the same way we all did when we were handed our newborn babies.
Im in this same boat, but I have a newborn and I’m thinking that it’s just bad timing. My husband finished work at 4pm and by the time he gets home, I think my son is just fussier and in that witching hour period. I feel bad for my husband because he thinks our son doesn’t find him comforting, but in reality, he’s just missing out on the fun 10am/11am version of our son.
My mum recently gave me some helpful advice. Its down to dad and child to have a relationship, it’s not on us. You’ve got to separate yourself and let dad do it dad’s way. He’s not you and never will be so let him figure it out with your child. Could you go out once a week a let them have some one on one bonding time?
