[quote=Anonymous]It’s totally normal for kids to gravitate toward one parent and then change their preference. My kids were at home with me all day for year but when dad came home they got excited and wanted to be with him. But when they were sick or scared, they wanted me. Sometimes it felt like he was the favorite and sometimes it was me. It can be related to so many factors: stage of development, gender, parenting style, temperment, need for physical affection or comfort (that was always me), one parent is more fun, one is more a disciplinarian, etc. In our home, dad took them for donuts on the weekend and that was huge when they were preschoolers. But he also grew up in a more emotionally detached household and didn’t have patience for strong emotions (he got better!). It shifted many times over the years. [/quote]
