Husband travels for work, 2yo only wants daddy, pushing mommy away...

My husband travels for work and is away about half of every month, give or take, for varying amounts of time - a day, days, a week, etc. When he is home he does have office work to do but for the most part he’s home and gives his time to our children and me/the house. He’s an amazing father and partner.We have a 2yo son, and a 3mo daughter that I am currently nursing exclusively (big time suck). Our boy is very bright and speaks well, and is a daddy’s boy. Lately, when daddy is away, he has started verbally expressing that he only wants daddy. He will push me away and tell me to go do something else. I try to connect emotions to his feelings so he has words to process with, I am patient, I snuggle him and love him anyway. I try to come up with special things that are just ours together - secret knocks and handshakes, sayings, etc. What more can I do to help him with his sadness when daddy is away? Sometimes he’s hysterical. Lately he’s been shutting down. I’m afraid this could turn my sweet, happy boy into a resentful, angry kid.We FaceTime and call daddy when we can, but it doesn’t stop him from longing. All conversations lead to daddy. What’s worse, I can’t really give him the kind of one on one attention I’d like to when Dad is away because I’m caring for our daughter, or getting us all ready for the day (I work part time), or running errands with kids along.I keep life going for everyone and by the time daddy gets home, I need a break, which means he often takes our son and does fun stuff while I recoup some sanity from parenting alone. Now daddy is fun and mommy ends up not being as fun. As our baby gets older we are trying to divide and share play times, but I can’t do anything for too long bc she needs to eat.I feel like I give so much, and when he pushes me away it’s like a dagger to my heart. All I want is to be a great mom for both kids. I feel like I’m doing everything I can, but it’s not enough. Has anyone been through this without ruining their kids? Will he grow to love me and want me the same if I just keep being there for him the best I can? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PvfcmT
