I need some advice.
My daughter is 2 and a half
I know that tantrums are perfectly normal in this age bracket and we all just have to grit out teeth and get through it.
My question is this normal?
Back story I was at home for a while and now my partner is home and I work.
The problem is she seems to behave a million times better for my partner then myself.
Examples:
I'll get up in the morning and allow my partner to sleep in, the whole morning will just be tantrum after tantrum it's war untill he wakes up and then she will just happily go about her day as usual. If I go out or have a nap during the day or while I'm at work he won't have a single problem maybe just a tantrum but even then it's not to the same extent.
When I take her for baths it's war but when he dose it she plays like usual having a blast.
I just don't understand why she would behave better for him then she does me. And when my partner dose return to work and I have her to myself all the time (other then when I'm at work and she is in daycare 3 days a week) how am I going to deal with this constant battle. I'm seriously at my wits end
As I'm writing this she is in the corner having a tantrum haha

It’s possible she feels safest with you, so she lets it all out when she’s with you. It’s also possible daddy lets her get away with things to avoid the tantrums.
This, and dad probably has novelty factor if he hasn’t been doing the majority of parenting.
Dad is more strict, if anything I used to allow her to get away with things to avoid the tantrum
She isn’t as comfortable with dad or feel as safe. Even though she is, in her eyes dad is stricter and she doesn’t feel as comfortable to act up. My kids are exactly the same. My husband tends to shut them up more with what they want also but they tell me, dad is scary when he gets angry, so we don’t do it to him 🙄 mind you I am the stronger one always losing my crap. I am not scary though coz they spend more time with me they are in their comfort zone. My husband is soft and not actually scary at all but to them he is because he rarely tells them off, so when he does they get scared.
