My 17 month old daughter seems too attached to me....?
I'm a stay at home Mom so I completely understand why. I love that she loves me and needs me but I wish she would share some of that love with others, especially her Daddy. She shows almost 100% more affection to me than she does to my husband and if she's upset or anything, she only wants me. She'll say "No" to him if he tries to pick her up or console her. It kills him, and me too. She's not overly clingy, even with me. She's actually very independent and opinionated. I know she loves her Daddy and he knows that too but I wish she would show it a little more. I've heard plenty of people say that their daughters started out this way and now they are complete Daddy's Girl but I'm just wondering when this will happen if its going to. Not only do I want him to feel her love but I need a break!! Lol! And its not like she never sees him....we eat breakfast together every morning before my husband leaves for work and he's usually home around 4pm or so, we eat dinner as a family every night and we even do tubby/bedtime all together. So that's not really the problem. I do think it might help some for them to spend more quality 1 on 1 time together, without me, and we're working on that. Sorry to ramble on and on....Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or did and what they think might help. I was thinking about possibly having her go to daycare maybe 2 days a week to get a little space from me but I'm not sure how I really feel about that.....
