We had a babysitter on Sunday. DD didn't cry when we left, nor did she whine or cry the entire time we were gone. She laid still for her diaper changes. As soon as we got home she threw herself on me and started whining. 🙄 Then she cried and wriggled during her diaper change, which is what she usually does.

@sorrycharlie: Yes! DD is much better behave for DH.

She used to be a crying tantrum-throwing mess when I picked her up from daycare even though she had been an angel all day. Her daycare provider used to say when kids' moms are around, they feel safe and secure enough to let their guard down and feel all their feelings. She said it as a compliment but I remember thinking "It would be ok if she kept her guard up a little!!"

Oh I'm the softie so DD def does better w/ DH too. For bed time it's totally my fault.. I work all day so the ~30 min we have at night just to ourselves to cuddle and stuff, I soak it up! DH is more down to business like ok no talking go to sleep haha.

DD is a huge mama's girl and tends to be better behaved for me. Poor DH. She's definitely much better behaved with her babysitter than either of us though, but I feel like that's common. She's 2 1/2 and getting more stubborn and independent (and sassy) around here, but that isn't happening as much at daycare.

Yes! I've gotten chewed out so many times because usually DH is the one to pick them up, and they're fine and on their best behavior when home just with him. The minute I walk in, they go from Jekyll to Hyde. Sometimes I wonder if they'd all have the bestest relationship ever if I didn't come home till after bedtime.
