parent advice: playing favorites
Alas. I fear it can no longer be denied. After two blessed years of the Junebug being equally fond of both parents, dammit, he has decided to pick a favorite.
I am personally convinced that this is sheer fuckery motivated by the desire to demand that the 7.5-month pregnant woman be the one to haul his nearly 30-lb butt up the stairs several times a day, despite the presence nearby of a perfectly good daddy, plus obviously my enormous and fragile belly is the one he needs to jump on during weekend mornings when we get to laze about in bed for a few minutes. But it's no fun for Mr. E either; as he says, how come you get the cuddles and I get to unclog the toilet?
Have y'all dealt with this? Has it been temporary? Has it switched back and forth? Any advice?
