Why is he so awful when he’s around?

[StoppedWineIng]

I know I shouldn’t get upset as he is only 2 but…. DH works away all week, I have an amazing relationship with my DS Mon - Fri. Then as soon as he is back, he just turns. Wants him, won’t let me do anything, sometimes won’t even look at me if I speak to him, asks me if I’m staying home when we are all going out?

I can usually ignore it but would help to understand why I think. I know there will be a reason for it, and it’s not because he hates me but I find it is starting to cause issues between me & DH then as we start arguing over things we wouldn’t argue over as doing anything becomes difficult.

This morning, we got ready to all go out, DH made the mistake of saying ‘DS to go do this when we are out with mummy’ now he’s refusing to even leave the house.

I must stress we have hardly any issues all week. DS isn’t the ‘tantrum’ type and generally things go smoothly.

I also have an 8m old DD.

I have a 2yo boy and a 7mo girl too. We both with DH WFH-ish and I always encourage daddy time. The more the better. Getting home from nursery to see daddy, getting home from shopping to see daddy, basically always looking forward to daddy to do things at home. (also this is grand because I do get nice time to myself while they monkey around and get cuddles with the little one

When DH is working locally and home in the evening he always does bath and bed with the 2yo. Now he’s working away all week he only does it on a weekend and does do lots more with them both. The issue is when we are home on a weekend now DS doesn’t want anything to do with me 80% of time time. DH will happily do it all but I also enjoy doing things with DS and when you spend all week doing everything for them and with them it really hurts when they act like they hate you on the weekend 😔

I think I maybe worded my post wrong. DS is the one that acts that way towards me, not DH.
