8 month infirm son prefes his dad over me! I perceive so hurt around this. Is this mundane?
My husband is currently unemployed due to the economy. It's been almost 6 months very soon since he got laid off. My son cries when he is with me at times and reach over to his father! And that KILLS me inside! I mean i love the bond they have and im so glad my boys get along so great, but i can't backing but feel hurt by this. I do everything for him. His daddy helps me out alot, but I still do more for him. Im MOMMY! I just quality so hurt when he does things like this. I feel like he freshly needs me to eat and thats it! Is this normal? Am I wrong for outlook hurt like this?
I used to be the only one he would reach out for to shift with. Now he almost always reaches for his father when he's contained by my arms. When his father even goes to the bathroom and shuts the door, he cries! I went to go do my nail the other day..came back more or less an hour later and he didn't even look like he missed me! Yet I missed him like crazy! :(
It doesn't mean anything at all. I'm currently a stay at home mother near my 9 1/2 month old daughter, but as soon as my husband gets home she lights up! She can't stop smiling, crawling to him, reaching for him, and wanting to sit with him constantly. She'll cry when I filch her to hold her so he can have some time to relax from working all day.
Also, her first word be Mama and now all she says is Dada. For the ending couple of weeks she'll look at him and say Dada and smile. Tonight was the first time in a long time that she said Mama again.
Your newborn loves you both a lot!
the only rationale he picks his daddy over you is because he spends more time with him
Answers: My son does that next to my mom sometimes (we live with her). I feel the way you do, but I also love that he have that bond with her. He still prefers me to lots of other people!
My sons (3.5 yrs and 11 mo) do this too. Mommy is the one they go to when they are sad or hurt, but daddy is the fun one. It's totally ordinary, and completely healthy, but I agree. It hurts a lot.
He's at just the right age for separation anxiety, momma, and it sounds similar to he's chosen to be clingy to dad instead of you. Just keep spending time with him, and try to remember it's part of the research process for him. He's learning more about malehood, and he's learning that he can choose to spend time beside one person - it's a lesson in independence.
In a month or two, it will probably swing the other track, and you'll miss the chances you had to get your nail done! :)
