She seems to be happy with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760754 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:33:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1760754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever DH and I hug, DD will always get in the middle. Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760753 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:33:37 +0000 chopsuey 1760753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd went through a similar phase :D she got over it, but now likes to join in on our hugs and kisses </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760750 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:31:28 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1760750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! SHe's jealous! We go through this too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760738 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:24:18 +0000 JennyD 1760738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! Mine has started doing this too. Previously she would tell daddy "to kiss mama" when he wanted to kiss her, but lately if we're hugging or kissing, she just yells, like "aaaaah! What are you doing?!!?" We just laugh at her and tell her she has to share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760732 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:18:30 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1760732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter did this for awhile, around 9-15 months. We always say that she has to share mommy. Then she stopped abruptly. No idea why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760569 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 15:32:43 +0000 googly-eyes 1760569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the opposite situation going on! Dd will tell us "no hugs!" "no kisses" "run away, run away!" when we show affection to her (not all the time but often enough!) But when we hug she says "mama dada hug, c hug!" and she runs in between our legs and hugs.</p> <p>Toddlers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1760062 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:24:59 +0000 Corduroy 1760062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO does this. She even screamed at my dad when I hugged him hello. Nobody touches mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759891 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 11:38:10 +0000 cascademom 1759891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO does sometimes. We kiss and watch for his reaction. Sometimes, he ignores it. Other times, he tells us "no." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759830 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 11:21:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 1759830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens, if DH gives me a kiss or we are sitting by each other on the couch she has to jump right in the middle. And he has to kiss her last before he leaves, if I get the last kiss she makes him kiss her again. ;) I think it's cute for now and just say "mommy and daddy love each other, just like we love you." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759758 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:57:59 +0000 Alivoo01 1759758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's nephew was the same way when he was younger! He would get in the middle of them and say "no, no, no, no, no". I don't remember how long it lasted though. Hope it passes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759708 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:32:13 +0000 Ree723 1759708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, DD1 used to do this and we jokingly called it her anti-sibling defence system. Unfortunately for her, it failed and she now has a five month old sister at home! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759704 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:30:07 +0000 NovBaby1112 1759704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO does this sometimes too. She gets upset and tries to get between us, usually pushing my DH away at the same time lol. Not sure why, but we just try to make it light hearted like mamaof2 said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759691 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:24:15 +0000 Mamaof2 1759691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD went thru a phase like that - we would hug and she would try to break us apart and say "My daddy!"</p> <p>I would play along and say "my daddy" - just tried to make it light hearted. I cant remember how long it lasted but it wasn't very long </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-gets-upset-when-dh-and-i-show-affection#post-1759667 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:16:13 +0000 autumn865 1759667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not all the time, but DD has started getting upset when DH and I show affection. For example, last night she was happily playing in the bathtub and DH and I were sitting on the floor. He put his arm around me. DD saw this immediately and started tantruming. We've tried explaining that we love each other and hugging and kissing those you love is nice. We've also invited her into our embraces but she seems more interested in directing us apart. Any ideas what's going on? Toddlers and their crazy phases yeesh... </p>
