My little boy who is nearly 3, seems to want his mum all the time. He's started refusing bath time with his dad and there's no way he can put him to bed. Going into histerical fits of screaming and crying to the poit of retching saying 'want mommy'. This has even now filtered into everday activities, such as strapping him into the car seat. He's normally a well tempered child with occassional spats as any typical toddler. When either of us are one on one he's excellent but you put mom and dad together and his behaviour changes. Anyone have the same experience or advice?

Aaaahhhh, the wonderful game of lets make daddy feel rejected!

Sounds like this is what it is so I'd say your best bet is not to join in, just let mum do the bedtime routine etc for now without any suggestion that dad should do it or be bothered by not being allowed too and be a right spoilsport and ruin all his fun.

Thanks for your comments, have already decided it's better to not have the episodes.
My only concern is Dad wants to be involved and I worry about their relationship suffering??
Is this a phase and should I not worry so much?

He is close enough to dad to have worked out what makes him tick...so I really wouldn't worry about the relationship suffering
