My 2 year old hates when I leave..

So, I’ve been a stay at home mom her whole life. She usually never had a problem with me running to the grocery store or anything. For the past month though she’s been freaking out anytime I try to leave her with her dad. I can leave her with either grandmas and she doesn’t have an issue. But she will literally cry the whole time if I leave her with her dad and try to pull my jacket and keep me from putting it on/ hug my leg to keep me from leaving.. any pointers on how to help this?

Is there maybe a reason why she doesn’t want to stay with him in general? Maybe she finds it boring or she’s not used to being around him much?

I would not leave her with her dad if she cries and tries to keep you home.You never know.....

That’s a bit of a red flag if she doesn’t want to stay with him at all but has no problem staying with her grandma . I mean it’s normal for a kid to prefer one parent over the other at certain stages but to flat out refuse and act that way? Have you spoken to him about what he does with her when he has her? Not even in an abusive sense as you don’t want to jump tot hat conclusion but if his idea of taking care of her is putting her in front of the tv that can be why she doesn’t like to stay with him.

If all he does is giver her his phone to keep her occupied that’s most likely why she throws a fit . Talk to him and remind him that’s not taking care of a kid , and that he needs to play with her and do activities with her. That’s not babying them, that’s helping them learn and grow. Just giving kids a phone as a way to keep them occupied stunts their growth cognitively , she needs interaction

I’m pretty sure he probably just gives her his phone 🙄 I keep thinking that I just babied her too much and now she’s just very attached to me
