When my toddler choose daddy over me and how it made me feel

Hi everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday.., I just want to share my little story here about how my son totally ignored me , honestly I felt a little hurt. Few days ago , I was sitting on the floor waiting for my toddler to come and with me as we usually do every evening, but instead of running to my, he ran straight to his Daddy, he laughed , hug him and for a moment I felt totally invisible, you know that feeling right? I questioned myself if I did something wrong or if I'm not fun enough. That little sting of hurt surprised me , because we always bond together. Well I couldn't do anything about it, and I just sat there and watched them , I saw in his little eyes and it recalled to me that " it wasn't about me being less, but a phase" a moment where he also needed daddy's attention and honestly that realization brought me to peace. It also thought me that parenting is not about one parent or being chosen all the time, it about patience and letting them explore their world safely. I smiled, stood up and hugged him . Have you felt this ? That mix of love and a little sting, when your child prefers the other parent?
