[quote=Anonymous]I may be out of place since I'm not divorced and am only analogizing, but wanted to offer an idea. My DD has been in daycare for a year, she's now 18mos, and still cries most days at drop off. In the last week or so, we've tried something new. Starting with wakeup we say "Today you go play at DCP's! You'll see Emma and Jacob and your friends. Mommy willl go to work, but Mommy always comes back and I'll see you after your nap and snacktime." We repeat that 2 or three times during the course of the morning in a very upbeat tone, reminding her of the fun she'll have while Mommy and Daddy are at work. Say it again at daycare while I give kisses and hugs. In this last week or two, we've now had tears only once. Maybe your ex can try something similar? At 2, your DS can now understand enough and has appreciation for routine and/or knowing what comes next. That way, DS isn't caught off guard when his dad heads out. [/quote]
