Talk to grandpa not to give your son whatever he wants. For example, if he wants the ipad and pester grandpa for it, grandpa may tell him its not the time to use ipad now and may offer an alternative toy/book/activity for him to play. If grandpa needs to be away to do some chores/task, get grandpa to tell him that he would be away, but would come back within xx minutes and stick to it. (eg: I need to hang up the laundry, you can follow me to the laundry or you can stay here and play with the lego and I will be back in xx mins.) It may be difficult at first because your child is used to getting what he wants. The key is really to be consistent in your approach among all the caregivers, grandpa, you and dad. By being firm and consistent, your child will slowly understand. It will get better! Good luck!

her response willl actually work if you stick to this

19 months old, seperation anxiety is normal. As you mentiomed grandpa is. The main caregiver. During your free moments spend time with grandpa and LO. Allow LO to have space and respect his comfort zone. It will get better i promise, be patient. If this does make you feel better, at least you have a grandpa. I dont have any family members so its just me, lo, hub 365 days 24hours. True life story okay :)

Can get babysitter or maid to help out? Or maybe consider preschool?

this is a phase ... tell other to play with baby
