Jealous husband

My husband has lately been getting angry towards our daughter cos she’s been getting clingy to extended family. She’s always been an antisocial baby but lately she’s enjoying the company of my BIL and sister so she keeps cuddling them or clinging to them. And the husband has been ranting and getting in very bad moods if she chooses someone else. Does anyone else’s husband do that? I’ve spoken to him about and tried explaining she’s a baby and she’s just getting attached to people she doesn’t see much coz of love etc but he doesn’t seem to understand

Interesting... how old is he? Usually babies that don't see ppl much, they don't cling to them. They're strangers. Unless baby spends a good many hours 4 etc in row and again next day abs they play together and warm up but still not as common. Or they really like the face of the person or it reminds them of familiar face to parents, caregiver etc etc is she mostly attached to him? Maybe he gets his source of love from the baby girl, since he not getting it it or doesn't want it from his partner? Which is also weird but guys some ar3 like that. And some guys are chill... they like the cuddles bit dunt care for if the baby is getting cling on else where for short time. Unless.... he doesn't like ur family? Does dad even cuddle and love and smile at her, cz maybe if she doesn't see that with him... also jealous for that is strange, usually women mummy's get jealous, I would. I birthed the baby, feed it, change 95% time, we etc is like baby is cheating on me and hormones and sleepless, exhausted etcso

No,ma'am! Never has my husband ever behaved in this way.To me,this entire situation is questionable and unreasonable. I think he needs to talk to his elders or his spiritual leader/teacher or a professional therapist or better yet take some parenting classes either or. Please she is only a child and is doing what is natural to her. All children act like this in one way or another. He seems inexperienced with children's behaviors. All he needs is redirection and education atp

She’s 2 years old: she’s clinging on to my BIL coz the family have come over and I have a nephew same age: so they both go running to the same person: my BiL is a bubbly loud person and good with kids. I don’t usually get jealous: I’m not too bothered if my daughter goes to someone else cos in the end she will come to me anyway cos I’m her mum. My hubby is a very affectionate person and I guess I don’t give the affection as much coz my daughter drains me out

Sounds like maybe dad just needs some reassurance!

How old is your husband? That’s really weird behavior

@Isabelle you probably are right. He feels like he’s not getting the love from either me or my daughter that’s why
