It is sad when the prefer the other P, H and I have a name for it, we are the PP, or preferred parent for the day. It cycles with ours, except every morning when S4 gets up the first words out of his mouth are Where's Dad? Nothing about me. I have read about kids going through phases where they prefer a different sex/same sex parent depending on the age they are. I think I agree with you H, it is probably just a phase. For me (and since I'm a stay at homer, I see the kids a lot) it is a bit of a relief when I'm not PP. But, there are probably some child rearing books out there that would address this issue and make you feel better. Sometimes just knowing it is a phase and it is normal helps you get through it. Do an amazon search or browse the local book store and see what you can read about it. Heck, treat yourself to some coffee or tea and hang out at the local bookstore and browse the books while H deals with the kids.
