And to be clear, I love being her safe place. Truly. I’m just starting to feel like I’m not giving her enough attention?
LOL I think my husband would agree. Thank you!
Hah I’d say it’s a phase but my daughter is 3 now and poor Dad clamors for any hugs he can get. Just today, as I leave for a short work trip, she tell him “I want you to leave, not mommy.”
The limit does not exist for how much time and attention she wants from you (at least until she tells you she wants space). And nothing will replace you.
My advice is to simply enjoy the minutes together, support her coping when you have to be apart, and give opportunities for it to just be Dad and her (for me, I have to leave the building..) Good luck and have fun!
No daddy snubs here. My husband tended to the kids when I was at work. My oldest son did not know me my first yr back to work after maternity leave. I was working in the hospital at the time. And, when I got home my first son only went to daddy w arms open. I was so hurt. My husband got a big 8x10 of my face and put it on the fridge - I guess to remind my son he has a mother but when I walked in and saw that…I cried. I remember that so vividly.
I also remember my husband telling me about my 6yr olds school friends mother, but he couldn’t remember any of the mothers names, only the type/model/color car they drove. Haha
She’s barely a year, their personalities change by the month as they become toddlers.
I got a 3 year old, who see’s daddy as the fun one and mommy as a safe space. He used to let me (dad) put him to bed but just recently only wants mom 🤷
Thanks everyone!!!
My daughter 18 and still like that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mines at 3.5 and still like that… but I know “daddy’s girl” gonna hit hard when she’s a teen and it’s all going to flip and I’m going to be so sad.
Phase
The phases come and go. My son is almost 4 and goes through both mommy and daddy phases where he prefers one of us more! I think he puts on the drama when we do drop off and pick up at school, but I know he loves it and has a blast. He is in his second year at the place we send him and his teachers both years have said he is social and well adjusted when we’re not there. He’s definitely not crying for mom and dad.
