and don't tell me the obvious, she's just turned 5 years old, but she's always been "mama's girl" and pretends to hate "daddy"... what is with that? I am very kind to "daddy" but don't exclude her when he's there... can't figure this one out!

The answer to this is obvious and I can't believe you don't get it. Children have a very perceptive mind and there is a part of the brain that only children have that allows them to see things that adults cannot. Of course I speak of vampires. Your daughter's father is obviously among the undead. He is... Nosferatu. Possibly several thousand years old and nocturnal although he may have that special Transylvanian sunscreen that's on the market now that allows vampires to live diurnal lives. I believe it's called Choppertone Vamp de Sol® SPF 2000 and it actually moisturizes the decaying flesh of the undead better than transylvanian graveyard soil! I use it daily and I... uh, er... I mean, I've heard that when used daily it can extend the life of your skin by 4000 years! At the beach, on the tennis court or when your just out for a bite, Vamp de Sol® will keep you looking, and feeling like you're 200 again! As I was saying, your daughter can sense that he is a vampire and preys on the living and this is why she fears and hates him. Kids are funny that way. give her a few years, she'll come around and before you know it they'll be hanging out together like two bats in a cave. Count on it!

There could be many reasons for her to act like she hates daddy.
It could be a game she's playing.
It could be that she would like more attention from her father.
It could also be that she is angry at him for some reason.

A good way to find out the answer to this question is to observe them when they are together. Does he do things that makes her angry or bothers her? Or does she enjoy being with him?

My advice is to observe, but not talk about it unless you find something wrong is happening.

Father and daughter often develop a very loving relationship and if there is nothing bad happening, you should allow them to have their own relationship.

The whole relationship of three people (mother, father, daughter) can be complicated and tense.

But the relationship of two (mother-daughter, or father-daughter) can be wonderful.

She doesn't want to share you with anyone. Not even Daddy.
But one day, that will change, she'll see Daddy in a different light. And then you'll be the enemy.
When I was little about that age, whenever my parents would hug each other, I'd scream really loud,"Beat 'em in the head, just till they're dead."
I don't know what it meant, but I'm pretty sure I wanted Mother to myself.

Maybe daddy should take more of a interest in her. Take her to the park, plays some games etc.

My daughter acts similarly. My guess is Daddy needs more primary caregiver time with daughter.

The best thing would be for you is to talk to her and make her talk about it.And try to be affectionate with your husband around her.:Like hug and kiss him in front of her.Just to watch her reaction.Then encourage her to do the same.

Sounds like she is spoiled. It will only get worse,epically if she sees it driving a wedge into your relationship with your husband

Is he the one that does the punishments? And it could still be a jealousy issue.
