Can a baby hate you?
I am SAHM (36) I have a 1 year old boy and a 4 month old girl. The question is directed more to my husband who my 4 month old currently seems like she does not like him. My husband is a somewhat present father (working all the time) and tries his best when it comes to comfort but he does not have any patience and isn't really a comforting person.
He loves our daughter but he has left her crying more than a few times. He also seems to smother her with kisses, which is cute but then she is crying and seems to be bothered. When I hand her over to him she screams bloody murder. I've only seen her cry the hardest when she is with him. She hated getting kisses because of his beard and I kept saying to keep the kisses minimal but he just keeps going until she is crying. Now it's harder for me to tend to my 1 year old or clean, Cook or eat because she cries not wanting to be held by him.
Can a baby grow to hate you? She probably goes to him for like 10 good minutes of her not crying when I hand her over without her looking at him. Im just wondering if this has happened to any one else. I hate that to me he bothers her and I cant go do errands or take a long shower because my daughter wants me and will be crying the whole time.
