Thanks Bec and Lucy.

Bec, I'm actually not working at the moment, I've just had our little girl Grace (3 weeks) and am on maternity leave. Harry just thinks that I've gone to work when I'm not with him. He has been doing this for months now so it doesn't seem to be related to grace's arrival. He is only looked after by grandparents - my mum and my dh's mum. He sees them for one one day each during the week and he LOVES it. I have thought it is a punishment for my leaving him but he just loves spending those days with his nanna/granny, though I know he loves his time with me too.

Thank you for replying Lucy, I'm so glad to hear somebody else has gone through the same thing! I'm also glad to hear that Olivia grew out of it - it gives me great hope! When I pick Harry up on the evenings that he has been away from me, we stay and have tea so I will need to think of a distraction that I can organise that involves staying at the g/parents house.... Maybe we could do a quick craft project or I could take a puzzle to do with him. Though the tantrum is so quick I don't know if he would be interested.... hmmmm. He's such a great boy and this really is the only thing I can complain about.

I will keep up with trying the distraction thing, hopefully I'll hit upon a winner one day soon!! I have to pick him up soon!!! HELP!!! I'll keep you posted.
