My little boy is 18m as since about 12m he has just been obsessed with my husband to the point I feel like my own child doesn’t like me! I can leave the room and he won’t bat an eyelid but if my husband does he will follow him and cry for him at the bottom of the stairs. He is fine when it’s just us 2 or if we go out with other people he will come to me which makes me feel slightly better. I am 33 weeks pregnant so noted I have been pregnant ever since this started but surely he is too young to cotton on at this age? I work 4 days and week and my husband does 5 so we are basically 50/50 when it comes to availability. Has anyone else had this as it gets me down most days!

Same here with my little girl, but it does shift she wouldnt let me do anything for her only her dad and now she only wants me to do stuff for her. It's normal for it to feel like they are 'favouring' a parent but it's just them trying to form a secure bond with both of you. And they will come back to you because they know you bring them comfort xx

We are in exactly the same boat. I do almost all bath times and bedtimes and cook etc. I put it down the the fact that it's either a stage 🤞 or because I'm the one that sets the boundaries and daddy is the fun one that lets him bend those boundaries
