Will he forget going on for Daddy?
My son is not yet a year, and my husband is out on busness for a few months. This is a yearly thing, but the first year near a child. I used to miss him terrible when he was gone, but with the tot, we have seamlessly adjusted. Almost too seamlessly. Would he forget about his daddy? He really, really loves him, and cried for him for the first two or three days, but in a minute seems to have forgotten. I held up the phone to him a few times, but all he did be chew on it.
should I be worried?
Excuse me, but..boohoo..I grew up with my dad away for months too. How's around having to watch your eight year old sister lose her dad, forever..?
sorry I'm cranky right very soon, but I don't think he will.
Yes, your son will remember. If he doesn't warm up right away when daddy get home, keep trying until he does. He may have strong emotions more or less daddy leaving (or he may not).
Do you have the ability to do video chats periodically? Other accepted wisdom are to have your husband read children's books and record and send them to you and you and your son can draw from the book out and have special daddy time together.
My husband travels for a living and has since our son was born over 2.5 years ago. He is gone from anywhere as short as 4 days to 2 months at a time. Our son have had varying reactions over this time. The worst time for us was around 18 months. Under a year be the easiest.
Answers: It's nothing to worry about to much. At a childlike age kids will not remember much about anyone they haven't seen surrounded by awhile, and that's 100% normal. But when his dad comes back he'll soon remember him and it'll be like that never happen. Over the years he will become accustomed to this, but that doesn't mean it wont bother him a little. So this routine you might want to make sure that when the father is home that he spends extra time with your boy. Here are some websites with endeavours for your husband and your son to do together when he is a little older. But when he is about 8 or 9 he will most probable start loosing interest in most of these activities.

PS- There's this great book called "The Dangerous Book for Boys". It's not as stupid as it sounds, it teach about basic boy things and things about the world that a kid will find interesting, and it does educate them alot if you read it with them when they are about 7 or 8. I hope and know your son will be fine! Good Luck!

Thats sweet...but no he won't forget his daddy. He doesn't know him to forget him. Even as his mother, he really doesn't know you yet. Once he (son) get use to seeing and having you care for him, then and solely then will he have a longing for you and your affection...as well as his father. The first 2 yrs. are greatly important for a baby. That is usually when the child does most of his/her learning and/or comprehending. But if his father know that he won't be around oten...it is important for him to let him hear his voice as much as possible. Overal, I think its vital that you feel the way you do. Its beautiful to see a mother and/or father cling to their child. Not in recent times because it's the "right" thing to do..but moreover b/c it's a blessing to mother and/or father a child. Makes sure he hear him when he cant see him b/c any man can father a child, but it takes a loving real man to be a "daddy".
No my sister remembered my step dad when he came back from iraq. Although i desire i did.
Maybe I am reading between the lines but..
Are you really asking, if you depart your husband now, will your child move on and not even remember him anymore at this point?
Do you want freedom out of this relationship?
he wont forget. hold a picture handy and everytime you see the baby close say wave to daddy. look at the pic of daddy. have visual is about the best you can do at that age. phone calls dont really work really.
No. He'll remember. Babies never forget their parents.
no he will remember him just keep talking to him more or less his daddy ,,,,
It will be an adjustment at first when he get back but he will never forget him.
he'll probably forget. my kids forgot their brother and sisters when they weren't around for awhile. they will bond again quickly. don't worry, it will be ok.
I THINK THAT HE WONT FORGET ..BUT HE WONT BE USED TO BEING AROUND HIS FATHER..AND HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM
My mom's husband is in the military and he was deployed for 11 months when my brother was 11 months hoary. My mom just made sure to talk about him everyday, and after she made a little flip book of about 10 pictures with daddy within them. She would point and say daddy. Then as he got older over the year, she get a boat and said..Daddy is on the ship, etc.Then the week leading up to his homecoming they talked about it even more and my brother be so excited to see his dad. I think it worked really well.
