2 year old obsessed with daddy

[ILoveGregoryHouse]

I am looking for some advice on how to deal with our DS3 who will be 2 next month. For the past couple of months in particular he has been obsessed with his daddy, screaming when he leaves the room, refusing to be put down by him - DH can't put him to bed as DS just screams the place down. It is making our weekends very difficult. Through the week, when DH goes to work, DS is fine with DH leaving in the morning and I have him all day. Apart from the usual 2 year old stuff, have no real problems with him, he's being a bit fussy with eating at the moment but goes to bed fine and interacts well with his brothers.

DS won't let me anywhere near him at the weekend, even physically pushing me away when I try to comfort him or help him in any way. I just find the whole thing very strange and upsetting, especially as he's so lovely and cuddly with me during the week. Has anyone else found this and what did you do?

All very normal, I'd say. My DH works very long hours during the week and the kids often don't get to see him at all. Come the weekend they scarcely let him go to the bathroom alone.
HAs your DH been away or anything that might make him (DS, not Dh ) feel insecure?

Nope, DH here a lot - he's here for a couple of hours every morning, and he's often home for bedtime story with the older two although DS3 in bed by then. It's a mystery. He also is very difficult in his demands - he points and shrieks and just gets louder and louder until DH guesses what he wants - I know this will pass as his language develops but it drives DH crazy. I think on reflection what DS needs is for his daddy to do stuff with him - read and play - rather than carrying him around but that can be difficult when the other two are also daddy centric (although not obessessed). Poor man.
