This is starting to cause problems with us and I feel like it could tear my family apart. He gets upset and then he just decides not to try anymore. I feel like I'm stuck in the middle because she loves me so much.

It's just a phase.
As long as he is treating her right, then you have nothing to worry about.
My daughter did the same thin till she was about 3, now she ONLY likes Daddy.
"Daddy's turn!"
Thats her favorite phrase.

This is a hard one...and takes patience. For the baby to bond to her father...he needs to do things with her without you around (trips to McDonalds or to the park) and frequently. Also, apparently you have doted on this child so much that she feels she doesn't need her daddy. Back off long enough and this will stop. Deligate diaper changes, baths, and feedings to daddy and step out of the picture but not entirely, more or less take turns with the childcare:) This should do the trick;)

Chuck E. Cheese may well be a profitable place, even though if it would be extra of a "take a woman descendant and go away your son in the back of with a notice" quite of an actually commerce. Your son would be nice as long as you supply him a lot of tokens to coach how plenty you adore him. basically remember which you will not commerce back while your 15 three hundred and sixty 5 days old daughter comes abode pregnant, or will become a stripper. you're on your person.

If you are the more dominant caretaker that may be why. (If he is away at work each day.) I believe this will change as she gets older and perhaps , you may need to have him take a more active interest in helping to care for her on his own a couple hours a week. (Such as you running errands and he watches the little one.) Does she go to him when he outstretches his arms? Does he smell like alcohol? (Not being mean...but my daughter would not go near her dad if he drank a beer. she hated the smell.) Does he have a scratchy beard? Is he extra rough? (hands rough from work?) Does he smell like oil...from working on cars? I know these sound odd...but sometimes they are reasons why, too. Albeit, I believe it is just a stage. After all...everyone knows girls always end up being daddy's girl in the end :)

All three of mine went through phases like this. In the end we decided it was because mummy is always there but daddy goes and leaves them - they do not understand about work do they?
We solved it by all three of us laying down for a nap together, having the child in bed with us in the morning and mummy going to bring in morning drinks. When I was pregnant with the last one the older two would get into bed and push mummy out! They have been pushing me around ever since
Poor mummy

I've had this problem with my daughter when she was that age. The solution is to leave her alone with him for a period of time. Go for a walk or shopping. She can't get used to him if your always there for her to run to. Believe me this method works. She'll figure out that 1. You are coming back 2. That is her daddy.

Dad needs to start doing things with her, like a walk, play with her her, make him self seen as a fun person. While he is doing this, you go and do something else, let them do it alone. You distract her from her Dad while he is trying to do this, it will not help. one yr old children usually do normally want to be near the one that does everything for them, like feeding, changing diapers and baths. Would not hurt for husband to help do these things too. the child cannot be expected to know the Dad the same way as it knows you if he never is there with all the above.

That's a normal phase, but to fix it your husband need to put in the time and effort with ur daughter. Ur daughter is smart and she plays up on that, by not wanting dad but mum, so what u have to do is send ur husband and ur daughter out or a few hrs together, now she will scream, cry, kick, yell what ever she may do and trust me she will, u make sure that u still send her with her dad and this is hard for you but u need to walk away from her. U keep doin that a few times through the week and even if she still cries and screams u need to tell her that even if she still cries and screams you are still goin out with ur dad.... after a few tantrums ur daughter will bound with her dad. But make sure that ur husband is willing to work with you through this it needs to be done as a team not on ur own..Good luck

DADDY needs to spend some quality time with the girl. She doesn't know her father from Adam. He needs to have talks with her , do things with her spend some time one-on-one with her.
Right now she is just 1 yr old take it from me won't be long she will be 10 yrs old then what.
