My DP is away one night a week - leaving early on tuesday and back after bedtime on wednesday. My DS (just turned 2) always takes a few days to accept him again when he comes home, which is very hard for DP because he really misses him while he is away. DS won't let him do anything for him, which is hard on me too because I look forward to sharing the load again when DP comes home.
DS talks about his dad reguarly while his dad is away, and when his dad comes back. Is he punishing him for being away? any tips on how to deal with this?
