My daughter is 19 months old and has always been very attached to Mom. I am always around and spend lots of time with her, play with her, put her to bed quite frequently. We spend lots of time together but if Mom is present she wants almost nothing to do with me. I am always pleasant and smiling around her and when it is just the two of us she enjoys my company, but sometimes I can't shake this feeling that she is developing a deep resentment of me and I can't figure out why. She has never had a period where she preferred me, no matter how much time I spend with her.
For parents who have raised children already, is this just the "mommy stage?" Does it seem normal, or healthy? And most importantly, is this something she is likely to outgrow?
