F/U to DD's behavior issues

mnj917

hey all - thanks for your encouragement - I did call the doctor today and talked to a friend that is a therapist (and she talked to a therapist-friend that deals with kids) and both agreed it is probably a phase that DD is going through.  It does make me feel better that they both agreed, but my poor husband is really taking it personally that DD doesn't want to be around him anymore.  At least it's just a prefernce thing and not anything terrible! 

Thanks again for helping to ease my mind and not making me feel like a whacko-overprotective mother!  Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Glad you were able to get some peace of mind. We can never be too protective as mothers and I'm glad you made some phone calls. It is always best to listen to our mommy instincts. I'm sure she will be a daddy's girl again in no time!

glad you found some peace with it.

I think to keep your mind at ease perhaps you should ask the nanny not to have her DH there anymore... i can't really see a reason why that should happen anyway.... I know if there were ANY question in my mind about it- i would not want him in my house.

I'm glad you were able to talk to the Dr. and a therapist and put your mind at ease.  I hope the preference phase passes quickly for your DH's sake!

I had my nanny watch mine on a saturday night and allowed her to bring her DH.  I had second thoughts afterwards just because of what could happen.

I am glad everything is okay!

Jen,

I'm so relieved, your previous post broke my heart...  Hope this phase ends soon.

I'm glad you got some reassurance. I'm sure she'll be back to being daddy's little girl again soon.

So glad you called - I know how your husband feels, its awful - but hopefully it will be a QUICK phase and back to daddy's girl very soon!  Happy New year to you too!

I was going to reply to your earlier post but became distracted by DD and her bouncy ball..  I agree that it is most likely a phase.  When I was 2 I was inappropriately fondled and other things by an uncle.  Unfortunately I didn't know it was wrong until I was about 7 or later, which was when I developed my fear of men from the incident. I don't think (or hope for my own mental health's sake) that it is old enough to link one man's actions to all.  Best wishes.
