Around 18 months, SO MANY things with their cognition and physical abilities change. They are testing boundaries now, looking for cause and effect. I'd say to just let it go - he's not being intentional about it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-wants-nothing-to-do-with-mommy-lately#post-2660808 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 16:04:04 +0000 paigeface 2660808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all! @2PeasinaPod: @JennyD: @Truvy: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-wants-nothing-to-do-with-mommy-lately#post-2660470 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 00:29:08 +0000 Truvy 2660470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and it was a phase for us until my daughter was about 2.5 and now I am her favorite person. She used to run to daddy, grandma, nanny when she was hurt and need comforting. It hurt my feelings too. But it passed and most of the time, she only wants me now.</p> <p>@JennyD: I agree, I feel like I did, and still do sometimes, get the worst of my daughters behavior because she is most comfortable with me and knows I will always be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-wants-nothing-to-do-with-mommy-lately#post-2660421 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 22:10:20 +0000 JennyD 2660421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww. It's probably because he's so comfortable in his relationship with you that he feels okay leaving you behind. He knows you'll be there when he needs you. Good job. </p> <p>Now, go take a hot bath and read a book in peace and quiet for an hour ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-wants-nothing-to-do-with-mommy-lately#post-2660261 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 16:01:46 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2660261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awe...I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. I literally just responded to a similar post with the same. I know that it's hard, but try not to push yourself on your LO. It's just a phase, and he'll come back to you with the things that matter like getting hurt, or being tired. I know those things aren't fun, but it will get better the less you force it.</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caregiver-preference-over-mommy" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caregiver-preference-over-mommy</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-wants-nothing-to-do-with-mommy-lately#post-2660243 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 15:44:00 +0000 paigeface 2660243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I shouldn't let it bother me but our 15 month old seems like he wants nothing to do with me lately and it breaks my heart. He loves daddy, grandma and grandpa and always wants them over me if they are around which is most the time right now because we are living with them (for a couple months.) My mom keeps telling me its a phase but it still hurts my feelings. When he wakes up in the morning he wants daddy. When he wants to play he goes straight to grandma. Did anyone go through something like this? Is it a phase? </p>
