The weekend has come and gone along with DSS. Thankfully it was uneventful. Except I think this separate housing thingy is rather stressful on DSS. He is 18 months and on the last weekend he was such a sweetheart. This weekend however he's been running around like a little zombie!
He'd toddle up to DF, smile so sweetly, laugh and drool and when DF reaches out to pick him up... DSS bites! He literally clamped his little teeth on DF's arm, cheek, chest (any exposed area of the body) and refused to let go. He'd also swipe at DF's face!
I had no such problems when carrying DSS. My parents dropped by on Sat morning to say hello and DSS did the same thing to my dad. DSS did not bite neither my mom nor I.
My mom is convinced DSS is feeling a bit stressed. That because he lives with BM w/o any other male presence during the rest of the week, he feels threatened by an adult male presence?
When we took him to the park, he did not bite or attack any other children.
DF had to bring me along to send DSS home because he would bite and swipe at DF. DF is upset about this as it was only last week they had their father and son bonding. BM is just as shocked by the news. In fact she was on her way to throwing a hissy fit at seeing me outside her front door but went quiet when she saw her DS being hostile to his father.
