I always wonder why Caden is always afraid of male adults. He would cry out loud as soon as a male figure confronted him (doesn’t matter how gentle they were).Then, I found out what could be the answer to it. A teacher from Caden’s Julia Gabriel class told me that it could be because Caden doesn’t see his dad often enough. He (the teacher) told me this even before he knew that Paul’s is not around most of the time.
This project is the worst so far because Paul has to travel to Dubai, which took about 8 hours flight + 4 hours time difference. So lots of time is wasted due to it. Paul arrives at home at around 8.30am on Fridays and has to go to the airport on Saturdays at 9pm.
[Dubai has holiday on Fridays but they have to work on Sundays].
So in total, Caden only meet his daddy for 1.5 days/week. *sigh*
Caden’s teacher told me that there are two types of children whose dads are not around most of the time. One is, they can get so much clingier to other males figures and the other is, they can get so scared and dislike other male figures. And Caden obviously fall for the last category.
Although Paul hates to be out of Caden’s life most of the time, there is not much we can do for now. As a consultant in this small country, he would get projects in another countries most of the time. We got lucky once this year that Paul was here with us for almost 3 months. But that are just one out of so many projects. For now, we just have to accept it and hope for the best for Caden.
I am just soooo glad that Caden is actually adores his daddy, who loves to play with him and pampered him, so much. He would cling to him the whole time he is in his side and he would treat me like a statue. Haha…yes…when there is daddy, mommy is gonee!!!
