When Only One Parent Will Do

[@anjusvalsan]

I'm up at 3am listening to this because my 1 year old woke up crying at night and won't be consoled till her daddy came and took over from me. I'm heartbroken. I fet so inadequate as a mom. My husband is always the calm and collected one, I'm the fiery impulsive one with bad judgement. Of course he is a better parent than me. My baby is smart to go to him. I'm oddly proud of her judgement for one so young as I wallow in self pity. I guess these are all just stories I spun up from my baby feeling comforted by her dad tonight and not me. Well this conversation comforted me. It makes sense I feel this way. I allow myself to feel this way, and I can cope. I think I'll go back to sleep now.

Being the preferred parent is exhausting! I wish my son would go to daddy instead of me sometimes.
