Baby Daddy Jealousy

Well I'm glad that's over! For the last couple weeks I've had some jealousy issues. And no the source was not a hot chica, but my hubby. The boys lately have been ALL about daddy. And of course I am glad they love him, but in the process you would have thought I was chopped liver! We have gone through Daddy stages around here before, but usually just one kid at a time and usually they just prefer him but still like me. But noooo, this time was different. This time both boys were are all about dad and wanted nothing to do with me. Landon would pretty much tell me to get out of his room nightly so daddy could put him to bed. Okay that's fine more time for me. But the culmination had to be Wednesday morning when I went to get Brody out of bed. Now mind you it was a little after six, I was super tired, and crawled out of my nice warm bed that still contained the "preferred parent" to get this loving response from Brody... Me: Good morning buddy :). B: No! No! Whiny voice- daaaadddy! Tears - daddy!! Daddy!!!! Daddy!! I go to pick him up and he hits me! No daddy!!! Wow! Okay. No hitting and You can wait for daddy to wake up and get you then. Which means you will have to wait to eat. Oh but wait dad gave you a cookie yesterday for breakfast because you "wanted" it. No wonder I am losing here :). But Friday I decided time to win back the boys!! Trip to the zoo and a fun day all about them. And it worked! Got to stay for bedtime and heard the much missed I love you too mommy!! Awww thank god. Wasn't prepared to feel this disliked and unloved until puberty hit. And with Josh gone for a guys camping trip more time to win the boys back :). And I don't blame them. I love him too just think the person who feeds you, cleans you, and meets all your needs could get some hugs too!!! So thanks boys for loving both your parents today, and don't worry this mommy will always love you even if those feelings aren't always mutual :)
