She left - 4

We both shared in the disciplining of the kids. In my opinion my S2 is treating my W different because the first 9 months of his life mommy was the one who gave him food and comfort, etc. All the things babies need when they are breast feeding.

Then when we started on baby foods he was not much into it. I eagerly awaited this phase as this is when my oldest and I really bonded. It never really happened with the youngest. He would not want to eat anything. It was not until he was 1 year old and he finally grabbed a lamb chop that he started to eat better.

So since he associated my W with comfort and love, in my opinion he gets really upset and mad at her when she is disciplining him or doing things that he dislikes.

I think his opinion of me is a loving dad, but my only purpose is not to provide pleasure like mommy.

He is getting better though. When my W first went back to work he ran off 3 babysitters in two months. What a nightmare.

We tend to ignore most of his tantrums, but when it is getting late and his brother is trying to sleep it makes it difficult to stay consistent and let him cry it out and calm down.
