Is this normal or abnormal behavior by my daughter?

I was wondering, recently my daughter has been clinging to me a lot, yet she doesn’t seem to be spending that much time with her mother. It almost seems like she likes to be around me and is avoiding her mother. I don’t know why, but just recently she is starting to want my company more and more and not her mother’s. I am kind of worried about this. My daughter is two years old. Is this a normal or is it abnormal? Should she be doing this, or is it something that shouldn’t normally be happening? Please give suggestions. Thank You.

okay im going to give you some advice I have 2 kids I’ve had 4 miss crages and im 2 mouthes and 15 days pregnant and I’ve rasied many kids yes this is very normal for your daughter to be like that some preoied in time it might change and it might not im a mommys gurrl bc I dont have a daddy and never have and braely and a mom she is to worried about dick but is the mother always working or something who spend the most time with her and who is always around think about stuff like that but any how yes it is normal maybe your daughter feels close to you then the mother it does not mean she hates her mom or dont like her maybe she seems to feel that your around more that you care more sometimes it is just phares and some times its not stuff happens you know my little cuzin is a daddys gurrl and she does the same crap that your daughter does to u … she may have a better relationship with you also that could be a nother reason and feels that she can trust you more and as long as she aint act funny around her mom or anyone else its okay but if she does maybe something happend you need to take her to the hosptail and counciling right away if she starts acting like that well I hope I was a help…

aww… a daddys girl! nothings wrong UNLESS she comes 2 you with bruises or scratches. then this might be an abusive-mom sort of thing. if not, you could wait until she starts talking and ask her why, or just keep letting her do it.. its kinda sweet <3

Answer #3

she probly looks up to your or thinks that she isnt close enof to u. your her father its normal to want to be close to you mabe you should see if she wants to talk to you about somthing or has been missing. I no my sister is always wit my dad and im always with my mom. she probly just gets along with you better then her mom.

Answer #4

she probably just wants to be around u. your her dad. she’s trying to bond. be happy and embrace it. take her places and have fun…who knows you may miss this time in the future. be happy. this will make her be open with you in the future

Answer #5

um well at that age its just a phase, its been around for a while, I hate to sound wierd but anne frank went though the same time if you ever read her book, im 14 and I seem for some reason to hate my mom and love my father, like I dont even care for her, its normal, im starting to love my mom more and starting to spend time evenly with them both, its NORMAL!

Answer #6

Lol, I was always a daddy’s girl… I dont think it’s abnormal…

Answer #7

It’s normal, some little girls tend to cling to their mother & others would rather be with their dad (=

Answer #8

father figure dude..u should be proud…and pray she’ll be ure little princess in later years lol …I have read something about this whole thing..about baby girls being more responsive to theri dads than to their mums in their formative years..it’s natural..

Answer #9

I don’t think it’s abnormal either. It sounds weird at first because it is the childs mother, but is your wife home most of the time? Who has more time to spend with the child? Think about these things. It doesn’t mean that she doesn’t like her mom, just that right now she thinks you’re the coolest! You should see pics of me and my dad from when I was little. Now, we hardly talk. If you’re a goofy guy, maybe she just likes to laugh. I’m sure she just realizes how much you love her.

Answer #10

well I have a son who is 21 months old and honestly he is a mommas boy but sometimes he wants nothing to do with me and I wonder if I maby I did something ank hes mad at me (that might sound silly) im no expert but I think at such a young age their mood changes from week to week as long as she is not acting scared around her mom or other people she is ok she just wants her daddy I hope I was some help to you good luck :)

Answer #11
