My 19 months old boy likes to stick to his grandpa because he is the main caregiver. Whatever he wants, grandpa surely gives. This has become a habit and so when grandpa is busy or occupied with other things, boy will cry and cry and want to look for grandpa and when boy cries, my other family members will ignore and just let him cry till grandpa is free to come attend to him. Because of this I felt very stressed and helpless because I can't be there for my boy all time as I have to work and no one bother about my boy and only his grandpa. And this made grandpa also stressed cause no one can help him. Can anyone advise me what to do?

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 :)
