[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this is relevant to your situation but when my son was around that age he would scream and tantrum when I would go to the store and leave him with his dad, or when he wanted me to do something his dad was trying to do with him, like bedtime or a bath. I told my H he needed to handle more of the basic needs so our son viewed him as more of a safe caretaker than a playmate. My H had mostly been just playing with him after he got home from work but not feeding him, changing him, bathing him, holding him, comforting him if he was hurt, etc. Once H started doing a lot more of those things it made a big difference in my son not always crying that he wanted me. I also started leaving him with his dad for hours at a time a lot more often. That helped all three of us.[/quote]
