Hunny it’s just a phase. If he wants his dad let him go to him. I know it may hurt your heart but it will pass. Just be patient.

Don’t take it personally, it might just be developmental. They are usually obsessed with their dads around this age and then in a few years it’s mums turn again to be favourite. It could also be an attachment issue. Have you recently started leaving him for larger amounts of time during the day? Or changed night time routine?

He does have two parents. Every time my children chose to go to their dad instead of me, I am literally over the moon. It’s possible that you were probably just a bit more strict to him and he wants someone else to comfort him - that is normal. Your children should not pick one over another, he does have a dad too. You need to learn to be ok with that as both parent and a wife.

It’s just a phase love. They are growing and changing and it will pass ❤️

Are you the stricter parent? My girl is the opposite & only wants my comfort, I have to admit I'm very soft on her & she knows she will get my sympathy & comfort instantly. Whereas my husband isn't like that at all & she doesn't bother with him when she is in need & if she's already really upset she will run to me & act out if her dad tries to take over. Completely normal & just toddler working out the dynamics of their caregivers. At that age, I would advise not taking anything personally & try to enjoy the comfort your son seeks from your partner right now... That's lovely in itself.

It's a phase my almost 2 year old and my almost 4 year old is like this but it's mostly because they see me all day everyday to where they rarely see their father because he works night shift as a police officer also because I'm pregnant again. They will come around though from my experience they have their days and it will get better. Hang in there mama🫶🏻

Defo a phase, my little boy has started hitting me too which he never does and he’s been playing me and his dad off against each other, normally goes to the opposite parent depending on who is saying no! Nothing that you have done, I know the heartbreak of them wanting the other parent but he loves you and still knows your there x

Sounds like a developmental leap to me. My kid goes through periods of bizarre behavior like that and it almost always coincides with some new skill developed or new area of mental development.

This is pretty normal for that age. They often go through cycles of preferring one parent over the other.

@Renae Hi Renae… im stayed at home mum most of time he is with me and thanks God that his dad do work from home so he get to see him with 4-5hrs gap. He is changing his sleeping routine as well like most of the days he don’t take afternoon naps.. and sleep early in evening.

Thanks all for supportive comments❤️
