I feel your pain!

Sam has always adored his daddy... At first it was great, then just understandable because daddy spent so much time at work... then it became downright annoying and I just sat back and figured I'd get a look in once daddy was the full-time stay at home parent and I was back at work.

Not so much!

But... I'm off work today with a sore throat (nothing worse than a sore throat for a teacher) and was trying to just stay out of the way so as not to mess up the routine for the boys too much... And Sam just refused to go down for his morning nap for daddy... After a while daddy gave up, Sam was handed to me and happily went to sleep inside of two minutes!

There's still moments for us when nothing other than mummy will do - and I savour them when they happen, because it's mostly daddy that he wants.

But it does cut to the core when you take Sam away from daddy so daddy can get 5 minutes break to go to the toilet in peace and your child just screams in your arms until daddy takes him again.
