favoring one parent

My daughter has been super clingy lately. She has always wanted me more then my husband since I am home with her but she would always let him read her a story and put her to bed now she throws a fit if I am not there. I tried to sit on the floor and have DH read to her and she wouldn't sit with him. The minute I do it she calms down. This goes for pretty much everything like putting on her coat or getting in the car. I hope this stage is over soon.

Re: favoring one parent
My 2 yr old has recently started to do this as well, which is tiresome since we're expecting another little one in 3 months! He will literally freak out if his dad goes to pick him up in the morning from his crib. He still plays with dad and has fun with him, so do get a bit of a break!
One suggestion may be to just leave the house and leave the two of them alone. Hopefully after a bit of fussing she'll be playing with daddy again. Perhaps that will remind her that spending time with him is fun too.

DS has been all about daddy for probably, 6 months, or so. He has no problem with me putting him down for naps during the week, but come bedtime or the weekend, its daddy all the time. It was especially hard when my husband would have to work hard in putting DS down and when I would try to help, DS would scream "no! Daddy!" over and over!
It seems like things are slowly changing. For the past two nights DS has requested that I put him down for bed, and he seems to be favoring us both equally during play. Hang in there!
