My 4 year old has been telling me she prefers/loves daddy more
I know I shouldn't take what my daughter says too seriously. She was having a meltdown on Mother's Day, after spending time with her cousins. I didn't go because I wanted the day to myself, and was turning in assignments before the end of the semester. Anyway she comes home in a bad mood, throwing a fit, because my husband had to go back to the car to get a late birthday present she got.
I'm getting on to her because she's kicking and throwing things. This is not like her at all, and I'm shocked. She then starts telling me that she likes daddy better. This crushed me. Since then she's been saying she loves daddy more. I seriously wanted to go hide in my room and cry for a bit.
At this point I'm kind of bitter towards my husband. I'm the one with her all day, everyday. I take care of her. I'm the one that deals with her temper tantrums. Also the one that sleeps next to her at night. My husband is an involved parent, but for whatever reason when she gets upset it sets him off and he can't handle it. Usually I have to get involved, or he just keeps escalating the issue.
So idk I'm just sad. When I was a little girl. I was super close with my mom. I guess I was hoping she would want to be close with me too. Maybe it's just the fuck you 4's and she knows what to say to hurt me, when she's mad.
