I'm a single working mom. I work in a city which is 4-5 hours away from my hometown -- where my son is living with his grandparents (my parents). Before I used to go home every weekend but due to financial constraints this is now changed to every 2-3 weeks. Does anyone here has a good idea of ways to bond with my son. I really want to make the best out of the time I can have with him but I'm not just sure if I am doing it the right away.

Thanks Kimberly. I really want it to be memorable and special for him so he will remember me and love me even though he only gets to see me after 2-3 weeks.

If your only getting to see him every 2-3 weeks then when you are with him make the most of it, follow his lead sit and play with him, cuddle on the bed and read stories together, do drawing together that you can take with you or have him hand in his room, just spend all you time and attention on him. My daughter and I love having our 'movie' night which is just getting into my bed with a bowl of popcorn and usually a barbie movie we watch together. At the end of the day he would just love being with you it isnt about what you doing as long as its together.
