So DS has had a mommy preference for a long time. It's not totally random, in my opinion DH does some kind of insensitive things that encourage it... like constantly pestering the kid to eat when he's not hungry, and bear hugging him when he's just going about his own business and doesn't want a hug. I try as much as I can to back up whatever DH is doing in front of DS, and I've spoken to him several times privately about being a little more sensitive to DS. I've also made an effort to disappear at times when he's waking up DS or brushing his teeth, so the kid can't demand that I do it. I thought things were getting better, but nope... they've taken a real nose dive. DS is sick and has thrown several huge tantrums in the last few days if DH just came near him, he's pretty mean, and of course poor DH eventually loses it and starts snapping at him, and there's no stopping them. I really feel like they'll ruin their relationship for good if this doesn't stop soon, but I don't know what to do. Am I seeing things worse than they are? Any advice for what else I can do to get them both to behave better?
