DS1 is three years old and he is having his tonsils and adnoids out on Wednesday. I arranged time off work so I can be there so I can be there when he gets put to sleep, in recovery and spend the night in hospital with him but he doesn't want me too He wants his daddy and only his daddy

Whenever DD or DS1 are sick, hurt, wake up during the night, read them books, want cuddles on couch or want to get up in the morning they only want their daddy. I am shattered that they don't want me. They don't see their mummy as a comfort - I'm just devestated.

All day long when DH is at work all I hear is where is daddy, when is daddy coming come, if they hurt themselves we have to call Dave so he can calm them down and when they hear his car they go absolutely crazy with excitment. I am back at work after 12 months mat leave and when I get home they barely even look up.

I'm crying that I'm not going to be able to comfort my little man and DH doesn't understand why I'm upset. I can't get him to understand that it's a mummy thing to want to comfort their kids and how crushed I feel that my kids don't see me as this.

Am I such a bad mummy that my kids don't see me as a comfort?

Do anyone elses kids not like comfort from their mummys? Any tips for helping me cope with this?
