[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are married, but because he WFH almost all the time, he does bulk of pickups. I relish the chance to do them whenever I am off, WFH, etc -- our 5 year-old has always favored his father -- since he was 18 months -- and despite assurances from everyone under the sun it was a phase, it has marginally improved over past 3.5 years but still persists. Most of the time when I pick him up from school/camp etc., he looks angry/despondent and greets me with "I'm not happy to see you. Why isn't Daddy here? I was hoping Daddy would pick me up." Obviously, it kills me. I don't know how to fix it. I am the parent who coordinates all playdates, bday parties and sports -- but I'm also the one who cracks down on TV etc. What can I do here?[/quote]
