Hellobee Boards

my 14 month old USED to be a mama's boy now he loves everybody. but when he's really tired he only wants me, which does feel good!

@mrskc: It is really sweet. Like when I'm finished nursing and let him out of his room on the weekends he'll immediately run into our room, climb into our bed and on top of DH. On the rare nights DH gets home before bedtime he'll squat and open his arms and E will light up and run into them. This morning he was literally holding onto DH's legs when he was trying to leave for work.

But I get my love from him too, so it's just a moment of jealousy

E is a momma's girl for sure, I love it except when i'm trying to cook, I need her to place in the other room to steer clear of the dangers but she screams when we try this.

@lovehoneybee: My E is the EXACT same way.

Nope, he's definitely a daddy's boy! He LOVES daddy. He's all about rough housing and is really loud. He's also gone at work all day so E can get really excited when he gets home. He can tell when daddy is leaving for work. He clings to him and cries when he puts on his shoes to leave

When daddy's not home though he's all about me!!! Definitely over anyone else.

It's pretty even with us, although if I were you I would LOVE it too!!

And how in the world did you get him to say "mama" and not "dada? I'm jealous!! The only time when it works in my favor is in the middle of the night when he is yelling out "dada? dada!" and I can say, "Hon,. he's calling for you!"

I love my mama's boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aww, I know the feeling! E is a total momma's girl and I do love it!! She's not clingy, which is nice, but she has a clear and definite preference for mummy. I feel bad sometimes when DH just wants a snuggle from her and she's lunging out of his arms to get to mummy, but that mostly happens when she's tired or hurt/unwell. Still though, she is a total momma's girl at 16 months...will be interesting to see what happens when LO #2 arrives in a few months!

@shopaholic: ha LO calls me dada!

A is totally a mama's girl lately and I love it, but I get frustrated when DH tries to give me a break and she wants none of it.

I have a mama's boy! There are times it can be exhausting, like when he was screaming for me at 2:30am last night for no reason, but for the most part I love it sooooo much!

@mrskc: this is what I've been doing so I'll just keep at it! I am so evil...hope DH doesn't ever come across this thread, lol.

@mrskc: Awww, that's so sweet!
