Ride it like a wave, you may never know why she's angry. You handled you end of it, that's what matters.

About your daughter, kids usually have different behaviors around each parent so I wouldn't read too much into that.

But, tantruming and hitting is 2-3 yr old behavior. Is this new or has she done this in the past?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
