Hi There,

Dont know if im going insane so I thought I would drop you lovely mummies a line!!

Just recently my DD has been a nightmare but it seems only with me? She acts up on Tuesday afternoons that we have together. I pick her up, she cries, I put her down she cries. She refuses to eat and even drink sometimes.
At nursery I will go to put her amongst her friends and she will clamber up my legs and cry.

However, after first resistance to daddy taking her to nursery she is fine, will wave goodbye and play happily.
He also enjoys spending his day off on Friday's with her, am I doing something wrong?
I actually think Im going insane!!!!

kids often play their mums up more than anyone else so it could be that. Could also be, reguarding nursery, she doesn't want you to leave her? Does she spend more timme with you, daddy or equal amount of time? X

My LO is the same. Shes at that age now when they get a little clingy and want their mummies alot.

she will sometimes act up with my OH but the majority of the time she will only play up for me.

Dont take it personally, she is also testing the boundaries to see what the limit is. Just carry on as you are and she's learn how far she can go.

good luck xx
