We haven't had it to that extent, but both of our kids will choose me over my husband most times. They want Mommy to hold them, Mommy to put them to bed, etc.
Unfortunately, there are phases they go through. The hitting and verbalizing of dislike aren't OK. Have you sat down with him and explained why it's wrong?
Does your husband ever spend any one-on-one time with him? We started having one-on-one time with both kids recently. One week it's Mommy, a few weeks later it's Daddy. It could be going to a movie, the library, McDonald's for ice cream, to the park. Just time one-on-one to build the relationship.
Just a suggestion. You never know when the tables will turn, and it will be the opposite. I hope you find the balance soon.
