My feelings are hurt
>> Friday, January 7, 2011
Andrew is currently going through a big Daddy phase. He asks for Daddy all day, and when Daddy is home, he wants nothing to do with me. He gets mad if I come into his room while he's playing with Daddy, to the extent of having a full-blown tantrum. He physically pushes me away. Sometimes, if he's feeling lazy or too busy playing, he'll just throw me a dirty look and say "push." Meaning "go away." The other night he didn't even want me at bedtime! That's always Mommy time! I was crushed. (I suppose it's good, though, that Daddy does the bedtime routine once in a while.)
But then sometimes I feel like it's not just about preferring Daddy: he doesn't like me! He used to cry when I left him at daycare. Now he ignores me when I kiss him goodbye. I know this, too, is a good thing; obviously he likes daycare. I certainly don't want him to cry, but a hug or even a "bye Munny" would be really nice. Even worse, he doesn't react when I come to pick him up. When I got there on Wednesday, I rushed over to him and asked for a hug. He barely glanced at me and walked away. One of the other kids came over and hugged me instead, lol.
I know, I know, this is normal toddler stuff. But man, it sucks. He is my whole world, and he breaks my heart every single day. I have a feeling he always will.

Awww many hugs mama! I know it's easier said than done, but don't worry, it's just a phase.
This would break my heart too! I hope he gets out of this phase soon and goes back to being your living little man.
