Hoping this phase doesn't last long and you get your snuggles again soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartbroken-mama#post-1305568 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 08:41:23 +0000 autumn865 1305568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: @Mrs. Confetti: thank you for your kind words. In the light of day and with a cup of coffee in me I feel stronger and able to just work through this phase! I know I will always be Mama and I will get those hugs and kisses again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartbroken-mama#post-1305541 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 08:13:11 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1305541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blogged about this...my son is like this and it is 100% just a developmental phase. I know it still sucks (brings me to tears sometimes) but it does get better. While C is definitely much more into dad than me still, he always cries/asks for me when I gone or am leaving. (Of course when I get back it's all dada all the time again). Babycenter updates told me something great about this...something like they always abuse the one one they love/trust/see most. So her being comfortable rejecting you means she trusts you will always come back. Hugs, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartbroken-mama#post-1305496 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 06:09:12 +0000 brownie 1305496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2 1/2 now and is perpetually going back and forth between daddy and me. It is sad to see them growing up, showing some independence and having a preference that isn't us. Then they come back to a mommy is my world and can do no wrong. But only if I am glued to her 100%. And I personally get over that very quickly (as he lays in my arms asleep because daddy isn't good enough). </p> <p>Toddlers are 100% fully invested in everything they do. There is not a malicious bone in their body and she isn't trying to hurt you. She loves you and she will come back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartbroken-mama#post-1305494 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 05:56:24 +0000 autumn865 1305494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past two weeks (while my husband has been home on vacation time) my 16 month old has been completely rejecting me :sad: We have been having a lot of trouble with teeth and EARLY morning wake ups so when I go in to sooth her she becomes hysterical and won't even let me touch her. I hold and try to sooth her but she wants absolutely no part of me. She immediately goes to her father and cuddles into him nudging away from me. (I write this while laying in the guest bedroom because she finally is calm with her dad after an entire morning of crying). Over the course of the day she constantly wants him to be holding her but becomes hysterical when he tries to give her to me. She is a very lovey and huggy girl but will no longer act affectionately towards me. She used to be my "sidekick" ( I'm a SAHM) and we would do everything together. I am the one who typically feeds, dresses, plays, diaper changes, reads, and holds her to fall asleep and she wants absolutely no part in any of those things with me anymore. Please offer some words of wisdom.... My mommy heart is breaking :sad: </p>
