So my 5 year old daughter has always been a mummy's girl but the past year 80% time she will be horrible to her dad/my partner.
She will say "i dont like you" to me during a tantrum but she really goes at my partner for absolutely no reason 90% time.
She shouts "go away" to him when he walks in the room.
Its really upsetting him and I keep telling him she doesnt mean it and to ignore it but i know its really affecting him and he struggles in the moment and will say things like "fine I'll go"/storm up stairs or he will argue with her..which is of course making her do it more as shes getting a reaction.
I'm just after some advice really..is this a faze?

How long have you been together?

What do you say to her? She’s old enough to recognize when she’s hurting someone’s feelings

Do they spend much one on one time together?
