I wish DD was happy without being touched all the time

I love my DD to death, but it would be so nice if DH and I could occaisonally get just a little break from the constant touching.  I think she is going through separation anxiety since she cries everytime I go out of sight.  If I'm out of sight she has to be attached to DH in some way or she completely loses it.  Last night I told DH I was taking a break after feeding her and went a slept in the other room for 2 hours, I felt so recharged!  I then sent him into the other room for a break for him, and told him he could sleep until he woke up on his own.

I miss when DD would let us put her in her crib drowsy but awake and put herself to sleep.  Those few hours of solo sleep gave me the recharge that I needed.  I'm hoping once her other tooth breaks through that we can get back to her letting us do this.

    Lyla is the same way and has been for months now. You are lucky you have someone to take over when you need a break. I will live vicariously through you ;)

    I remember feeling this way when DS was teething...and then when the teeth popped through he wanted nothing to do with me anymore; he was off to play with toys and didn't even care if I was in the same room or not!  I immediately forgot about how for the previous 2 (3?) weeks I had totally need a break from the clinginess and started to miss it, haha...It WILL pass!

    I'm actually the breaker for DH, he stays at home while I go to school, he only has class 2X a week.  I still feel like I need a break though :)  I'm glad to know there may be an end to the constant clinginess though!
