months He feels he needs to know where i am each moment of the day.When his father tries to participate he gets in his face and comes running back to me I dont know if this is the edipis phase,if hes clinging on to the one who has been his constant by keeping promises and not breaking them .Im not sure why or what is causing the struggle between his dad and him, but frankly sometimes hes just rude to him and says i dont want to play with you i want my mom.any suggestions ideas or paths to follow to figure out whats going on in my little guys head.

I have four kids, and I have found with mine that they tend to gravitate towards what makes them feel secure. If they have a parent whos not there like they should be or isn't consistent then I will tell you that they will cling to the one that they know will always be there. My first question would be...how well were they bonded before you started noticing this? If they were never close then I would say it was a bonding issue.

Poor little guy!!! My son is about the same age and he's does something similar to this...BUT not as bad on weekends!! He still wants to be "mommy's baby"...He's in big boy school and they MAKE them do things for themselves...Maybe make a special "date day" with him..but explain to him that acting this way isn't making you happy and see how the "date day" goes...this is just you and him doing something together..and it doesn't even have to be outside of the house!! It can be as simple as him helping you make dinner or watching a special movie that he and you BOTH like...and your husband seems to be acting like a little boy as well...SOON enough this cute little 6 yr old will be NOT wanting to spend ANY time with either of you...so PLEASE for your sakes and the sake of your son...take the time for him and Hubby NEEDS To chill... Good luck!

Sounds like Dads got a problem and its affecting his relationship with his son.these years are very important.why would the father not enjoy his son now that the son is not horrible3 unbearable 4.who does the father think his son is going to role model after.my daddy had a rough life with no daddy,and we suffered.break the chain.out of my 6 kids which do you think is the sweetest and most tender hearted of them all,not his 5 sisters.one day i saw my son give his baby son to his wife and say here bond.believe me i said my peace.what do they say, kids don't come with a manual.

there was a movie about it once. The child was being abused privatly. Check with your child for all possiblities including the ones that seem impossible to you.
Take him to a place privatly that he and you both feel comfortable in and ask him the question.
After you ask him, make sure you let him know that no matter what, you'll still love him.
