Hi all,
I'm currently a full time dad and have a gorgeous 3 year old girl who's in general pretty well behaved (for a 3 year old). There's various things that I guess I could worry about but generally don't. Tantrums and grumps are regular but under control. There's just one thing that's bothering me.
Every time either her mum or me are away from her she becomes distressed when we come back. She hides her face and cries / moans. Her mum works full time and this happens almost every day when she gets home. The same is true for me when I'm out for the day or if her grandparents look after her for a few hours.
I would put this down as simply a phase that she'll get over but there is a complication in that we are going to be separating soon and we'll both be working full time. I'm really worried that if we don't get this issue sorted before the changes happen, it could escalate and really affect her.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks :)
