💔ouch

My 17th month old twin 1 told me she doesn’t love me today. Yesterday she told her dad she loved him and this is the first time she’s ever said it to anyone. I’m heart broken. All day she’s refused to come near me wouldn’t even hug me which usually she does all day long 😭 I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong I try so hard to be good enough for my babies but feel like I can’t do anything right

You've done nothing wrong mama I promise. They just go through phases and often this is the first phase to connect with dad/secondary caregiver on their terms so they tend to do anything and everything for them to appease them as that's all they know how. Our almost 2 year old has only said it a few times and for her PopPop that she sees once a week and they're not the most helpful grand parents and I was like are you for real 🤣🤦‍♀️. It'll come I promise you. It isn't personal and she isn't being malicious or anything, it's just development my lovely 💜 xx

My daughter licked me on the face earlier and said I love you!! But she licked me lmao! Eww toddler tongues!

Girl she’s 1.5 do not take what she says so personal my toddler tells me no everytime I say I love him it’s NORMAL you’re not doing anything wrong kids are a holes when she’s a teenager she’s going to tell you worse Do not take this to heart

I think your toddler doesn't understand the real meaning of those words. If he said it or not. Also they get angry. My baby bites me when he is upset. He doesn't bite anyone else. His real and hard feelings show up with me because he feels secure to do so. Don't take it the wrong way. Also sometimes we have to accept that our babies are upset with us. We are there to guide them, not always be their besties. Send you a virtual hug for you to process those big feelings. Fear of rejection maybe coming from a childhood trauma.

Sweety dont be sad i know its heart broken but do your best to shift these scenarios to how much you love me not yes or no questions and do your best not to use it as a weapon sometimes grandparents use it or elderlys in general "If you do this i love you if you don't i hate you and i love someone else" Control your words as much as possible and avoid showing her that this makes you sad tell her that you love her no matter what and all kids love their mothers even if they dont say it its how god created us ❤️ studies showed that even if the child hates his mother by words all his behaviours show his love for her the person can hate himself but cant hate his mother dont be sad Sweety 😘😘😘
