Bad morning

DoctorWorm222DoctorWorm222 member
in October 2011 Moms

DD screamed and cried from the moment she got up until she got into the car to go to daycare. She's clingy. She wants to be held. If someone isn't holding her, she screams. We couldn't hold her while we were getting ready for work, so she screamed the whole morning. My head is killing me.

Of course, the drama also led to bickering between me and DH. He thinks she's spoiled because I hold her too much. I go crazy trying to figure out if she's sick or teething or hurt or if she's just emotionally scarred because I work full time and she feels like she has to suck every single second of "mommy time" that she can before she gets dumped at daycare. And then I hold her. I hold her while I get dressed. I hold her while I eat. I hold her while I cook (unless its too dangerous). And if I don't hold her she screams like she's being tortured. Should I hold her? Should I put her down and let her scream? Should I refill my Xanax Rx?

I feel like crap. I was an hour late to work this morning. I'm having my period. I want to sprinkle sugar on everything and eat it and then go back to sleep.

Sorry for the whiny whinefest. If anyone has advice as to how much a toddler should be held, I want to hear it STAT.

    Awww! I am sorry you are having a bad morning! B seems to be going through a mommy only phase right now and wants to be held all the time. He has even started pushing DH away like he won't share me. I have also been struggling with dropping him off at day

    N gets just like that when she's teething. It's like the world is ending if I put her down. I put her down sometimes and sometimes I just hold her. I'm sure you're not doing anything wrong and she's just teething or feeling extra clingy. Give her all t

    I'm sorry.  I can relate to some of what you're going through.  Things can be stressful and affect my relationship with my H too.  Usually lately around bedtime and in the middle of the night.  While Edison isn't clingy

    Oh, I'm so sorry. I know how miserable it is to have an inconsolable child.
    DH and I have been using the divide and conquer technique. DD1 varies from day to day as to which one of us she's attached too and we just roll with it.

    Ugh I can't do the whining and the crying either. Lo is SUCH a drama queen. MH can ignore it but it drives me insane. I know when he's home with her he ignores it and I try to but sometimes it goes on so long I am like "I will do anything if just STFU". I

    I'm sorry you're having a bad day. My DD becomes super needy/clingy at times as well. She won't even let me sit and hold her. When I do, she arches back until I stand. I try getting down on the floor with her, which has mixed results. Usually when I fi

    You know, when all of you were saying how much you LOVED 13 months, and it was the best time ever, and your kids were so much fun....this is exactly the hell I was going through.  LBB isn't advanced physically or verbally, but was apparently way a

    I'm sorry you're having such a bad day! Unfortunately, I don't really have any advice about holding your toddler other than sometimes you just have to go with your gut, but you also need to be able to occasionally put her down and get stuff done. I know,

    Awww..hope your day got better as it goes along! I had one of those days yesterday. I hope those stupid 1 year molars break through soon or I m ay shoot myself!

    I find that when my DD is sick or teething, all she wants to be is held by mommy.
