2 Year Old Son Who Loooooooves Daddy

It's normal. Vexing yes, but normal. We went through that too, and I recall feeling outright jealous. My husband really can't stand being around infants, and my toddler kind of knew that and she wouldn't even look up when he came in the door. Then one day, it all changed. Last summer, when she was three, she kept saying that she was going to marry him and went on and on about how much she loved him. She's still crazy about him, but she isn't snubbing me like she was then either. She worked it out. Perfectly normal.

Motherhood is a thankless job, eh?

He loves both of you :) I would have to say he knows your thier he safe with that situation and since Mommy is always thier its so nice when daddy can join :) who knows next month it could be all about you. children learn what they live and live what they learn :) god bless

This too shall pass, can't say exactly when, but it will. But appreciate the time your son is spending with his dad. Too many households these days don't have fathers in them and little boys (and big boys) need those dads. Don't take his behavior personally, he doesn't do it on purpose. All of my children did this & my husband just took it one day at a time & cherished those moments knowing that any moment they'd be practically melded into my skin again.

Just enjoy watching as these 2 men in your life bond.

Just be grateful that they share that bond. I felt exactly the same way when my son was sooo excited and bonded to his Dad and when Dad came around, it's like I'm history. I think children do this because they are with us stay at home mom's 24/7 and they don't get to see as much of Dad. Wer'e the ones changing the diapers, brushing the teeth, feeding them, etc. etc. Then Dad comes in and it's fun time! Don't worry about it. Our jobs as Mother's just seems so thankless but we will always be their Mom's and the nurterers and they will appreciate that big time some day!

Be encouraged that his behavior is normal. No one could ever replace you; remember that! Expect your son to surprise you with a special kiss or hug, then "put that in the bank" for when you may feel less valued.

I have a 19 mo old that goes through phases of being a mama's boy or a daddy's boy. I actually find his "daddy" phases to be a relief as I can actually get some stuff done without him hanging on my leg or wanting my constant undivided attention! He hangs on his dad's leg as opposed to mine! :) But the phase passes soon, and then it is my turn again. This will be case with yours too. Don't worry too much!

Gosh,I know how it feels.....our 3 year old is a daddy's boy......He actually wanted nothing to do with him before our second was born(my husband works a lot). Our son tells me all the time to go to work now, and daddy stay at home. I do not know when it will pass...it has been 15 months for us.Sometimes I am sad,but on most days I am thankfull.Today a friend of mine asked him (when I was out of the room) if he was a mama's or daddy'd boy......and he said "mama's boy" where did that come from????Who knows.....:)

It's normal for kids to go through stages where they favor one parent or the other, and sometimes they're really mean about it, telling the other parent to go away. The extreme attachment lasts a few weeks or a few months usually, but even when things even out more, some kids just lean more to one parent or the other, probably because of their individual personalities. Try not to feel hurt about it. Boys may hang out with Dad, but they have a very special place in their hearts for Mom that no one can take.

I am going through the same thing too with my 16 month old son. I was told that this is normal and they will soon return to us...how long I wasn't told but knowing that I'll be getting my little one back is enough to hold me over. Also, letting Daddy see how hard it is to do everything with a child attached is a nice little break for a reality check.

my little girl is like that, but she's s is soooo attached to me that it sometimes hurts my hubbies feelings. when it's just him and her, she's great, but as soon as i get home from work or where ever i've been, then she's all about mommy and daddy might as well jsut disappear. the only thing i can say, is don't take it personally. kids that young don't generally set out to hurt your feelings. and since you are home with him all day, tehn it's understandable that he wants just some daddy time. so let them bond and be glad your hubby wants to harbor a healthy relationship with your child. a lot of kids aren't that lucky. so just encourage them to spend quality time together and enjoy that time and take it as a well deserved break.

My daughter went through a time like this. It really was simply that I was always there and he wasn't. It passed on it's own and we took advantage of it by letting it strengthen the bond between the two of them. I just approached it that I was glad she loved him so much. So many of us grow up with daddy holes in our hearts and I was glad to see our Daughter was getting attention from her daddy. My son is going through a similar time right now but it's not the same. I think that's just because he is much more mellow compared to our daughter. Hang in there. Maybe acting just as excited to see Daddy and pawning over him the way your son does will help a bit. You'll be together in your excitement and he'll (your son) see that. Just an idea. Hope this helps. ;)
