(Where is Daddy?) Age Appropriate Responses

[JaydensYummyMummy]

Hello...

My son is 23mo. Its just him and I. His Dad provides for him (us) financially and does whatever I ask of him. He's a good man but we cant be together. He sees our son every couple of weeks and when he buys gifts etc for him, I tell him "This is from Daddy". He also has a picture of his dad in his room.

My son is at the stage where he screams "Daddy, Daddy" when he's crying, wants something and I say no but I don't think think he really knows Daddy is not on the scene yet.

My questions are;

1. At what age should I expect him to ask about Daddy?
2. What are the age appropriate responses I should have ready?

Thank you....

just asnwer questions adn deal as it comes as honestly as possible but simple terms for his age.

"daddy cannot be here right now. you will see him on xxxday. now go to sleep"

Thank you :)

"daddy gone grandma's" works for ds who is 2.9

how about "daddy's at his house".
He won't really ask too many questions until he goes to playgroup/school an sees other children who have different situations to the one he thinks is normal because it's all he's ever known.
