Such a difference in drop offs

[mom-in-alberta]

Probably a combo of things going on there...

a) now that she is aware that mom/dad will be away for the whole day, she isn't as excited about getting dropped off. As you know, it has nothing to do with you, so don't be offended. All little kids would rather hang out with their parents, pretty much as a rule. Even if they have a ton of fun at your place!

b) I would bet that when Daddy is home, she reacts like this whenever he leaves. That must be tough on a small person, 10 days here and then 10 gone. It would seem like an eternity to her.
