[quote=Anonymous]Are the kids different with mom than with dad? We have a problem right now in our house where our 3 yr old is just a total mama's girl at the moment and she will do what I ask but if my husband asks her to do the same thing in the exact same way, there's a meltdown. It's tricky because we don't want to encourage the favoritism, but depending on the task, it is sometimes much easier for me to just come do it than for my husband to go 10 rounds with her. If I help, he can do other things. I'd rather help him with that child at bedtime than have the house descend into chaos because one child is losing it over something trivial. We just make up for it in other ways. And we also know it will pass -- kids go through these periods of favoritism with both parents and outgrow them, sometimes you have to roll with it and just wait for it to shift.[/quote]
