We will be away from DH for 3 weeks soon and im not really looking forward to it.. i hope he just adjust easily because my brother & dad will be around.
Thanks ladies. I think I take it too personally but it is hard when all you hear is daddy, daddy, daddy!!! He's a very independent little boy now so he doesn't need me as much.
Butterfly warrior, I'm a teacher too and have had the day off today because of a sore throat. It's a virus going around at the moment, very pleasant!
Interesting that you say it's a virus going around. I took today off as well - was our cross country carnival and even though I'm fine apart from the throat, I didn't think sitting outside in the dust and heat (forecast was 34 for today) would do me any good.
Will say one thing - picking up Sam from daycare certainly shows that even though he seems to prefer daddy, he does love mummy too. I hope you get some moments like that soon.
I've been through this- I wrote a post about it a few months ago about how much DS seemed to prefer his Daddy. It really does hurt!
But now matters have swung the other way in our house and its all about mummy- which is really nice, but I can't even go to the toilet alone!
I guess they just kind of swing back and forth and we have to not take it personally when we're not in favour, and enjoy it when we are!
(although for those of you with boys, all the reading I've done suggests that when they get to around 3 or 4, they really do start to look more to Dad in a deeper and more permanent way as they start to develop their male identity, and we as mums need to try to not cling on to them....boy that's going to be hard!!)
