It’s been a while..Confession time!

I get so caught up in living life that I forget to write about it!

I have a confession to make…a few weeks ago, my partner came home from work and our daughter was over the moon to see him. She cried when he went left the room, and here is where my confession comes in: I was shocked at how much it hurt my feelings that she preferred him over me. Which she totally did not, I know that part is all in my head. It’s a case of her being well-used to my face all day, and being happy to see her daddy. it has nothing to do with how much she loves either of us, but wow – was I ever blown away by how hurt I was.

It is completely irrational, I know. After looking at our partner’s face all week, how happy are we to see some new faces on the weekends, at parties, dinners, etc.? It’s totally normal, especially for babies, to delight in new/recurring things that they haven’t seen for a while. trust me, take away a toy for a few days and watch the excitement when you reintroduce it; they know the toy, but also know it’s been away, so they get over-the-top ecstatic when it reappears.

My logical brain knows this, and does a pretty good job convincing my heart…but ouch nonetheless!
