My son and I are usually very close. My husband works nights so I do the majority of the care. Last week was half term and my husband had a week off work. For the entire week Thomas would not let me do anything with him. He wouldn't hold my hand to cross the road, wouldn't eat if I was next to him, wouldn't play with me, wouldn't sleep etc. He only wanted his father. At first it was sweet. They don't spend much time together due to my husband's work so it didn't bother me but as the week went on it became annoying and quite hurtful. I'm trying not to take it personally because he's only 5 but it's hard.
Last night my husband went back to work so we were back in our usual routine. It took over 2 hours to get him to sleep. That's not unusual for Thomas, he has disordered sleep but the entire 2 hours he was screaming for daddy.
I don't know what to do. My husband can't do bedtime. I just want us to be close again
