Does anyone have any advice on how I can deal with my 2 and a half year old son who is adamant that wherever mum goes, he also goes? He creates such a fuss when left with his father, even if I am only going to the shops for a short while. I always tell him I'll be back soon and I have never not returned to him. He also follows me to the bathroom and upstairs every single time I need to go up. He is a contented child when we are togrther but his constant demands on my time are beginning to wear me down. I am also hoping to find a part time evening job soon but this will mean leaving him with his father and I think it could all be more hassle than it is worth in the end. I'd appreciate any advice I can get!
