Yes...LO1 is a huge daddy's boy, but every once in awhile, he wants me. It's more recently that I've been able to devote more time with him that he's been wanting me more. Just before LO2 was born and a few months after, I was just to big and tired to be able to play with him the way he wanted me to. Now that I'm back to my old self, I can chase after him and play. I was also recently away for work, and all he wanted to do was spend time with me when I got back. It was super sweet.

It goes between Mommy and MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!

DS1 is 3 and has developed a stronger preference to me over the years. When he was a baby, he had less of a preference.

DS2 is only 10m and has preferred me from day 1. He would push DH out of the way to get to me if he could.

DD1 preferred me up until DD2 arrived. DH was good about spending lots of quality one on one time with her when I was busy with her sister. Now she is a total daddy's girl...and I love it!

When my son was younger, around 2-3 years old, he always wanted me. He's nearly 4 now and, since my daughter was born 5 months ago, he only wants my husband. It's been hard on me because I feel like he's rejecting me in response to feeling like I've chosen the baby over him. Ugh, kids are hard.

DS used to be pretty even between us, maybe a little more preferential to me. But lately he's definitely starting to swing more towards a daddy preference. It's a little sad, but it's pretty convenient since we have a new baby arriving in August.

DS had a slight daddy preference from about 17-19 months. Since then (he's 21 mo now) it's shifted back to a slight mommy preference.

E was a total daddy's girl when she was a baby, but developed a mummy preference when she became a toddler, that has just grown and grown.

Always been a mama's girl through and through. But we recently went on a family trip where I couldn't do much so LO and DH did pretty much everything together for an entire week. She still prefers me but they are like best buddies now which makes my life a lot easier and it's like DH's dream come true

Always preferred me. (He's 25 mo now). But not by THAT much so he's content/happy with daddy almost all the time. Just cries for me when he's hurt or upset but daddy is able to calm and comfort him too if I'm busy or don't want to lol.

As for the baby girl.. Prob me be I am her source of food?? But I dont really know lol! I'd looove it if she turned out to be daddy's girl! Actually I wouldn't mind if all our children vastly preferred daddy.

DD1 has always strongly preferred me, to the point that she would scream until DH left her alone if he tried to engage her. It broke his heart (and mine, too!)! I was terrified of what would happen post-arrival of DD2, but surprisingly, she and DH are slowly turning into best buddies, though if she had a choice, she would still pick me. DH now puts her down every single night and that has really helped their relationship. In addition, she has quickly learned that daddy takes her fun places and they get fun stuff like pizza! and ice-cream! Saturday mornings are their dates and really, they both have a blast. I love it, DH loves it as well! There is hope
