Toddler prefers Dad

I was literally crying the other day because of this 🤣 I recently went back to work part-time, and I thought my little boy would find it hard as we've never really been apart, but he has literally been ASKING me to go to work so it's just him and his dad 🙃 feels like a right slap in the face haha!
I’ve had this and dealing with it on and off still, but honestly I have found it to be a good thing while I was pregnant and now that I have another baby. She still got plenty of attention even when I was dealing with a newborn that was attached to me 24/7. I think it helped stop any jealousy and gave me a bit of space. It is hard though when you feel rejected and I think pregnancy hormones heighten those feelings too! Dad is also the fun one and a soft touch here too so always helps 😂
I’ll be honest. Part of me wishes for this. I have my 3 year old and an 8 month old who are both clingy and both only want me. I struggle to deal with them both at the same time, especially at night. If my husband tries to settle my 3 year old, she goes into meltdown mode which just makes things worse and wakes up the 8 month old that I’ve just spent an hour trying to get to sleep…. Then I have to deal with both at once. I’d take the win for now and get some rest as it’s much tricker with the two. Chances are as soon as the baby is here, your toddler will only want you.
Yep! I don't exist to my 3 year old- which is helpful with a 7 week old but it is bitter sweet!
Yes ive had this too. She goes through phases of it with favouring her Dad. It had really upset me. Still now she favours her Dad doing certain things with her its rarely me but i do spend a lot more time with her so i suppose it’s a novelty… that and hes a soft touch🫣 x
