Well at 15 months he will cry for Mom but that will probably happen at bedtime. Make sure you have all his familiar night time things..books, bedding, stuffed bear. You don't want him looking for anything he forgot!
Don't rush him to bed.The first night you should let him relax with you after a nice bath and maybe some AGE APPROPRIATE tv or a video. He is very young so he will probably fall asleep that way. Then move him to the bed. Try to keep remembering that even parents that live together have the problem of a child's preference at bedtime. My 2 year old pitches a fit if my Husband is not home at bedtime. lol.
He won't cry for her all day if you are keeping him active and busy. Take him out to the park or somewhere fun. Tire him out!
I hope all goes well for you and remember it's only the first weekend. Good luck

my 15 month old son is like that whenever i leave he cries and cries. even if my husband is around when he wants mom he just wants mom. my own mother cant keep him because he just cries. u should probably spend the first few hours with him and mom. that depends on u and moms relationship though. but until he gets used to u he's gonna cry. he's not gonna want toys, or anything. just mom. so u and her sit down and talk about it and suggest that she spend time with both of u until he gets adjusted. good luck.

Find out what his routine was at the other place. This will make it a little easier. Other than that make it jam packed full of fun. If he is having fun he will be too distracted to remember about what or whom he was with the day before. Go to the park etc. Hope this helps. good luck and have fun!

There's nothing you can do to make it easy for him, but there are things that will make it easier on him. Try talking to him in a calm voice and take him to the zoo. All little kids LOVE animals.
And I agree with capegirl, make sure some of his things get brought along.

months old? take familiar toys and bedding. kids cry for their moms after being left at daycare, but once they get involved in an acitivty, they're fine. find out what he likes to do and what his bedtime routine is, what foods he likes, does he like a certain tv show or book. if it gets too bad, take him back to his mom and try again next weekend. I'm betting you'll both be fine.

Aw it'll be fine kids are very adaptable just bring a present for him and talk to him like you have always been there and he will soon get used to it.
