Feels bad man.
I think that it's often that proximity and regularity that they tend to latch onto.
It has certainly chapped my ass when I've been gone all week and I get home just to have my little guy want nothing to do with me, and would prefer to hang with mom, who he's spent all week with!
Maybe ping grandpa and ensure that he's adequately hyping the opportunity and that they'll be able to hang after?
Still, sucks. Sorry, dude... :(
Thanks all. Got a big hug from him this morning in person when he knew I was home
Dont make me feel things this early
My 2yo daughter must be in the I love dad phase - she always loves seeing me on Skype and is the first to scurry down the stairs (yes she's quite adept at stairs for her age!) when I arrive home on Thursday nights. A blessing and a curse as I then can't peel her off of me all weekend.
Echoing sc1 here its all about schedules and consistently. Which is hard to give one the road
That sucks. My daughter is going through a big mom focused phase and so expresses her displeasure whenever it’s Dad’s turn to put her to bed.
Take comfort that you know you’re doing your best across a broad bag of priorities and that he will understand in the end.
There will also be a stage when familiarity breeds contempt, and the less frequent Dad is special and gets all the attention. Swings and roundabouts
Spend a few weeks overseas when my daughter was two. Skyped each morning at breakfast when she was strapped in a high chair. Finally got home to have breakfast face to face, and she cried and pointed to the laptop - wanted me on there
Kids are fickle, especially at that age. Don’t take it personally. They just like best whomever they spend the most time with at this stage. As they get older they’ll appreciate their time with you more
Set up a time for you to Skype/call. Most teams won’t grudge you 10 minutes to talk with your kid. It’ll become part of what the kid looks forward to everyday
