My husband has said said to me on several occasions that my daughter (2.5 year old) acts differenly when I am around. That she acts out more and has more tantrums and emotional episodes. My mom is staying with us now for a couple weeks and is staying home with our daughter while we are at work and last night before bed she said the same to me, that all day my daughter was doing so well but she noticed when I got home that she was very dramatic and acting out. Why is this happening? Anyone else have this issue? Am I doing something wrong? I would change if i knew what to change.
Re: My 2.5 year old daughter acts out with me....why
And also, sometimes it's easier to notice tantrums when there is another person around to deal or respond.
I used to get home and rush everything but I took a new job in April which allows me to get her from daycare earlier and home earlier so now I give her attention first by cuddling or playing before I get dinner ready. I have noticed that has helped my evenings.

Oh, I forgot about exercise and fresh air. Is she getting enough with your mom? My kids were beasts in the evenings when we switched from daycare to a nanny. It took a few months to get into a new routine with snacks, sleep, and playground time, but the evenings are much more pleasant.
