It can be upsetting to deal with a child who pushes you away or prefers one parent over another.
Maybe your child has a meltdown when it's their Dad's turn to put them to bed so you end up doing bedtime every night just to keep the peace. Or your child is in great form all day at school or childcare but their behaviour becomes unmanageable as soon as you walk through the door. Perhaps you are a step-parent and nothing you do is good enough, you are rejected at every turn. |
