I wish my husband could nurse, sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1925949 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 07:24:08 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1925949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Compete Mommy's girl! I always thought she would be more of a Daddy's girl but I couldn't have been more wrong. If I am in the room and he tries to pick her up even, she cries and reaches for me. If I'm not there, she it totally fine and happy with Daddy. Oddly enough she is always totally fine with my mom and prefers her over DH too! Poor DH... We thought she would give up on that but at 14 months it is still going strong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1925932 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 06:54:22 +0000 delight 1925932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's pretty attached to both of us as we both spend lots of time. I don't think she has a true preference at 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1925925 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 06:48:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1925925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>W is constantly Daddy. Lately she's getting down right mean to me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1925849 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 00:39:45 +0000 NurseDMB 1925849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daddy's boy, always. There was a time I think it was more equal when he was an infant, but ever since he hit 8 months he has preferred DH. Even when he's hurt or sick :-(</p> <p>He's only 15 months so it could change, but right now I don't see that happening!</p> <p>Do I have the only LO who runs to their dad when they fall over the mom? Kinda bums me out sometimes :-( He lets me comfort him when DH isn't home, but when he is, forget about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1913192 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:21:03 +0000 BrandNewMom 1913192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All Mommy all day! She'll give Dad a hug when he comes home, but then she's done. If I leave the room with him holding her, she freaks. It's pretty depressing for Daddy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1913072 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:35:05 +0000 Canoli 1913072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, always a daddy's boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912816 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:35:01 +0000 Anagram 1912816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lucky that LO hasn't gone through a specific-parent phase yet. What age did this stuff start happening for all of you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912691 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:59:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 1912691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pretttty consistently me. sometimes I wish she preferred Dad because I need a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912667 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:53:43 +0000 abmamma 1912667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All mommy all the time. This morning she wouldn't even let DH help put her clothes on-- so frustrating! The only real exception to this has been when I've traveled a day or two (have had to make some solo trips to visit my parents given health issues they are having)--but the Daddy preference never lasts long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912656 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:51:03 +0000 Bao 1912656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say it's 75% mommy, which is strange because we spend SO much time together you'd think she would get sick of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912624 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:38:51 +0000 LC 1912624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (2.5 yrs) is all me, all the time. Every once in a while we'll hit a stretch where Daddy is equal... I think maybe once she preferred him. Most of the time she acts like she hates him. It's exhausting for both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912163 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 08:43:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 1912163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always been a daddy's girl, but she switches back and forth. I'm always the go to when she gets hurt but because I'm usually the rule enforcer she runs to DH when she gets in trouble or is naughty. I'm really hoping this next one is more of a momma's girl ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912124 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 08:30:41 +0000 gilmoregirl 1912124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has switched back and forth, but he's just 6.5 months so it's still early. He's currently in a daddy preference phase, which is killing me because my husband is working every waking minute right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912085 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 08:14:38 +0000 Bubbles 1912085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 10mo and has also never shown any preference, apart from wanting to breastfeed when he was younger. I SAH with him and DH works long hours so only sees him for a few hours in the morning, but that doesn't seem to make a difference yet. Whichever one of us is holding him, he wants to smile and wave at the other one though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1912078 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 08:10:10 +0000 illumina 1912078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13 months and I wouldn't say she has ever showed much of a preference between us...at least not to the extent others talk about. If someone is looking after her solo for a few hours, she tends to prefer that person for the rest of the day....but the next day it could be the other one!</p> <p>Is this weird? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911938 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 03:50:38 +0000 erwoo 1911938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both flip flop but it's usually me all the time. Mostly b/c my husband travels so much now so they are just used to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911881 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 23:20:04 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1911881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours flip flops. It was daddy for most of the first year. Then finally when I had summer vacation again, it's all me. It's still me right now, but it's closer to even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911871 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 22:46:39 +0000 bhbee 1911871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still all mommy all the time at almost 3. We'll see if it changes when baby brother arrives, but since I WAH PT and am with her so much more it doesn't seem a huge surprise to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911778 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 21:07:37 +0000 yerpie110 1911778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is all mommy, all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911751 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:49:42 +0000 Mae 1911751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is always all about mommy. But she's only 5mo and I SAH with her so I think that's natural. I'm sure as she gets older she'll go through daddy phases </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911750 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:49:34 +0000 Raindrop 1911750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was all daddy till the moment I got pregnant. It's like he knew his time was up. He was all mommy for a few months now he's back to daddy most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-mommydaddy-preference-consistent-or-does-it-go-back-and-forth#post-1911713 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:31:35 +0000 mrbee 1911713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie has been pretty consistent, but Olive goes back and forth. Especially lately because Bee does pickup/dropoff, and I do bedtime/mornings! She pretty much prefers whomever she's spending more time with, so we try to balance that part of things up these days.</p> <p>Is your LO's mommy/daddy preference consistent, or does it go back and forth? </p>
