Baby doesn’t like being near his dad

Does anyone else’s baby not like being left with their dad? I know they have preferences but whenever I leave the room he’s in hysterics and it’s quite upsetting for both of us. Is this normal?

Is this lazy parenting?

My 21 month old is learning to help out and clean up. While I'm alone with her during the day I'll take a break and instruct on how to clean up and she does it. She cleans up toys or throws away trash while I relax.

Night training pants recommendation?

My LB is potty training almost 100% during the day but still wearing nappies during the night. He had a regression when moving to preschool, which was hard but it seems over no, however he sometimes asks to keep his nappy on (so he can keep playing).
