Clingy Toddler

DD used to play really well by herself for short periods of time, especially once she became mobile. All of the sudden she refuses to do anything without me. If I want to do dishes she hangs on my leg and cries while I do them unless I pick her up. If I need to get off my feet for a bit she'll sit right by me on the couch and whine for me to come play with her. When I get in the floor to play with her, she sits in my lap the whole time. If I set up her favorite toys in the bathroom floor and jump in the tub, she cries and tries to climb in. You get the point. Part of me loves it because she was never this affectionate or interested in me before, but I'm exhausted. I feel like I can't do anything unless I just leave her pouting and crying in the floor like I've abandoned her forever. This makes me incredibly nervous with two more bebes on the way. She'll have no choice but to share me. Please tell me this is a phase? 

This is my siggy. Love it.

  • Well, I'm glad to hear it sounds like a common phase. Twattums is right, milestone is NOT the right word. TB won't let me say the right word.

    This is my siggy. Love it.

    oh.

    I think you're supposed to tell them to "man up".

    If they are girls, then I guess tell them to stop being such a vagina. 

    :takes notes:

    I'm going to do both. Just in case P has the geigh. I like to cover all my bases like that.

     

     

    Good thinking. I think I'll just put violent cartoons on all day and dump fruit loops in the floor. That should keep her busy. 

    This is my siggy. Love it.

  • I'm going to give you the blanket response that works for everything.

    She is probably teething.

    Anybody else? I'm full of knowledge today. Afterall I have a one year old. I'm practically a doctor.
