My lovely DS is 2.6 yrs. He's always been a mummy's boy sometimes to the detriment of my DH (i.e DS asks for me to do everything with him).
I was made redundant last November and financially needed to work, but couldn't find more part time work, so have had to work full time. I do what I can to see as much of DS as possible and work flexi-hours, but DS has become really clingy to me. If my DH tries to cuddle DS or interact with him, DS sometimes hits him, which my DH doesn't handle that well (i.e he gets upset by it instead of just walking away).
I know compared to some issues on here this is minor, but its upsetting me as I feel so guilty for working full time, but have no choice (except I will ask if I can go part time next year). I can see DS's behaviour getting worse (i. a lot more tantrums than normal) and to add to it DH and I usually end up rowing about it - I sometimes think DH doesn't help the situation as he tells DS off about minor naughtiness which can lead to a full on tantrum. In that situation I try to distract DS rather than make everything a battle.
Anyway, I know I'm rambling - Just wondered if this could be a normal phase or, by working am I creating a problem.
BTW, DS is in a lovely nursery 4 days a week and with Grandparents one day a week.
