@singingbee: Dh doesn't work out of town but I will say up until she was 20 months she had a VAST preference to me. We did all the typical things, had him do bathtime, night time routine, get her MOTN wakeups, one on one play time etc. It didn't really matter she just still preferred me.
She would cry and freak out sometimes if daddy tried to take her. It really made him sad and hurt for a long time.

Then around Christmas it started to change and she is totally becoming a daddy's girl. They have their things now that she does wiht daddy. Kind of like their "inside joke". It's so sweet to see and makes my heart balloon and I know DH is absolutely even more in love, if that's even possible.

Anyway, keep trying to push the daddy/LO alone time and in time hopefully she will come around.

D doesn't work out of town, but because of his schedule he and E barely see each other, and they'll be getting even less time during the week starting Monday.

He was definitely a mama's boy until like 8-9 months? It really didn't help that I was home with him every day. Things I did that helped were show him lots of pictures of D and talk him up excitedly. "Do you see Dada? Isn't he handsome? We love Dada so much!" and if D was on his way home "Dada's coming!" and make a really big deal when he came in.

That sort of worked a little bit, and letting them have alone time on the weekends helped. He eventually came around (around 10 months?) and now they're BFFs. I'm chopped liver if D is around! Unless he's sick or hurting, and then he turns back to me.
