Not only is he growing up way too fast, but he went from saying "mama" and "dada" with purpose to only saying "dada." If I say "mama," he says "dada." Add that to a sudden phase of being daddy's boy and laughing at daddy and wanting to play only with daddy and I feel like an outcast. I know that this is silly and he still wants me when he is sad, hurt, etc., but now I understand what DH was feeling a few months ago when he would only want me. I do enjoy being able to go to the bathroom/do housework while DH plays with DS though without listening to him crying for me.
Has anyone else recently weaned and found the same thing happening? I have a feeling the two are linked.
Re: my boy is making me sad...
Sorry that no one has answered you yet. I just hate when post go unanswered! I haven't went through this yet but I am sure I will. Avery still is very much a momma's girl and will tolerate daddy only during play time. I feel really bad for him because he wants her to want him more.
I would enjoy your new found freedom while you can. Our babies are ever changing and he will once again favor you or favor yo both before you know it.
And to answer your question, I have always been an EP'er so I am really not sure if they are linked or not, but it's normal.
