[quote=Anonymous]For me, I think there are (or will be) two different things going on. First is transitioning from strongly preferring me to preferring dad-- as I always expected she would-- he's a lot more fun AND honestly more of a nurturer. Not that I don't have my good qualities nor that she doesn't love me, and not to have low self-esteem, but I think most kids would prefer my husband. That started slowly around 5 and I do think she prefers him now at 8, though not by a massive margin. The second is the usual puberty stuff I'm expecting soonish... although maybe it will be lessened (or strengthened) by the fact that she's an only child and the three of us are pretty tight knit. I always thought my parents were pretty great/appreciated them AND butted heads with them a lot and was a big know-it-all. My kid shows signs of being the same on all counts.[/quote]
