Within the last year, our Sons have gone through this. They want me all day, but when DH is home and on the weekends, it is "I want Daddy". They want to know and am concerned where I am, but want nothing to do with me. When DH goes back to work, all is okay. This is especially hard when we travel, as I am the 'pack-mule'. Lugging the suitcases and carrying all, because the boys refuse to take my hand (s), but prefer DH's. Thought we fixed the problem, by DH pulling one suitcase, but then the Boys fought over his 5 fingers on the 'free hand'. If DH & I try to hold hands, they pull our fingers apart. This really bothered me
but really nothing I could do. Now, literally overnight, they both will 'share' us, one Son to DH and the other to me. Then they voluntarily switch holding hands. Weird but is smoother now, give it time.
