My 1 year old boy is so clingy to me now and isn't settling for dad sometimes when he comes home from offshore?

I feel we went through the stage of crying when leaving a room and it had been and gone. Not only feeling like a single parent half of the time and people not really understanding fully I just don't know what else to do. My 1 year old boy everytime I get up to do something around the house he cries clings to my leg pushes it to get up and i just don't know what to do about it. My husband works offshore and sometimes it gets better once he's home but recently it's not and he just wants me to the point of nearly making himself sick. I have to hide if dad is doing something with him. If I'm not here and its just his dad he is fine but he crys if he sees me and gets very angry and just wants a cuddle and as much as I do and love a wee cuddle from my baby boy I literally need to get stuff done. I am a childminder also so he is with me all of the time apart from Thursday where we made the decision to put him to another childminder just to see if that helps buy finding it's not. He is only like this with me but its starting to make easy tasks difficult. I have mum guilt of going back to work when he was 4 months should I be working do I give him enough attention on days it's just me and him and not other children. I really don't know. Was wondering if anyone experiences this? Or if anyone has any advice or support because I just don't know what to do with it.

Thanks ❤️
