I have a 22 month old boy who I took in November after his mom and dad were seperating. Very sad to think this early he will be losing his father as a constant in his life. anyways........he seems to be a VERY sad boy. I do not know if this is his personality but everyone notices it, even other dc parents when they come they say hi to him, and he just stares right back.
He only says one word sentences to me, but according to mom he talks non stop at home.
Never smiles for me or hubby, and I find I pay EXTRA attemtion to him b/c I see he is very mopy, lonesome etc.
Today I was talking to him after nap:
me are you having a good day today?
kid stares and says nothing
are you having fun playing with your friends?
Kid: mama
me: yes mama will be coming soon
kid: dada
you want to see dada too?
kid: dada bye bye
me: You miss daddy?
kid dada BYE BYE!!!!!!!
Tehn he walked to the front door saying "mammmmmaaa" and proceeded to put on his boots and hat. (which he has never done)
his breaks my heart that he says this and I know alot of his emotionalness comes from his parents seperating.
My question is:
Do I tell mom his actions and what he says to me regarding this? (This is only today, he mentions mama and dad quite a bit and is RARELY ever smiley or laughing, just mopey and sad alot I think)
I really hate to make her upset about this as there is really nothing she can do to help make him happy..just time and getting used to seeing dad only sometimes.
