LO wanted daycare teacher and not me:(

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

This is a "vent/share" and not really a question. I picked up my son from daycare yesterday.  He has two lead teachers, one of which I know is his fave.  She normally leaves in the afternoon before I pick him up, but she was working a late shift yesterday.  When I got there one of the afternoon floaters was in the room and I was standing there holding LO talking to her when the fave lead teacher came in the room. My son started crying/whining and reaching out for her.  I let him go to her and we chatted some more but it just broke my heart he wanted to be held by her and not me:( In my right mind I am super thankful he is so happy at his DC and has awesome teachers that he loves, but still, quite the stab to the heart!!  I know it doesn't mean he doesn't love me/like her better, etc. just sharing my first experience with this:)

    So heartbreaking! I don't handle that stuff well either :-/

    DS and DD are not in daycare, but I have a family member who cares for them during the day while I work.... Sometimes they do the same thing... and I could just cry!
    I don't see it g

    This happened to me yesterday when I picked my son up from daycare. He wouldn't come to me, he stayed with his daycare provided and buried his head in her shoulder. I was heartbroken! He's never done that before. But as much as it hurt, I know it would hu
