Any other mommas not feel like mommas...?

I haven’t felt like much of a mom since having my princess who is now one. I cry almost every day because when I get home she just looks at me and then continues to do whatever she was doing, but when my husband gets home she’s sooo happy and smiling and laughing and asks for him to hold her. And the second he leaves, even just to go to the bathroom, she cries like he’s never coming back.

Am I jealous? Yes of course. I’m her mother so why don’t I feel like her mother? I don’t feel like we have a special bond like I had with her during pregnancy. I hope that makes sense. It’s so much more than her not being happy to see me. I want her to know I’m her mom and not just someone she sees and plays with everyday. My husband doesn’t understand and thinks I’m overreacting because she’s still little. But it’s like I’m just someone she’s familiar with, like she doesn’t know I’m mommy... I hope someone out there understands what I’m trying to say... I feel so lonely 😭
