i sometimes get fed up with the 'Mummy can i have', 'mummy i need' or 'mummy i want', they usually start this as soon as my bum has touched the chair, also, they decide they want a cuddle when i get comfy with a book.
At the minute I feel shocking, got terrible cold, and will they leave me in peace for ten minutes? will they buggery

I don't usually get fed upo with being patted and guddled from the girls though i have to say, once they're in bed and i feel that my body is my own once more, if dp cuddles me i sort of sigh!!(in frustration unfortunately- i love him but i guess i'm all cuddled out by then)
Talked at, Good Lord yes!
DD1 has just turned 5 and could talk forever. Only this morning i was saying how good milk was (a girl in her clkass told her it's not good as it's full fat!!
) and dd said, 'are we arguing about this or are you just going to leave it?' I hate cheek but did smirk at that!

Cuddles are grate but with ds they often turn into weird half-nelson killer holds, or weird grabbing and twisting of handfuls of flesh
If he were somebody else's child I would think he were neglected. As he's my own I know he is, a bit

I am definitely not the happiest mum in the world, and DS is only 18mo, but being spontaneously cuddled is one of the few things I do enjoy about being a mum.
But then DS is entering that cute stage before the terrible twos strike

a cuddle a day is the best, even if you do have to rugby tackle your 6ft 1 smelly 15 yr old ds first! Cuddles rock!!

cuddles are great but my 13 month dd's just entering a very clingy stage where she'll hang off our legs and scream til she's picked up. luckily most of it's aimed at dp as i'm pregnant again and couldn't manage to carry her around for hours on end like he does.
proper hugs are great though

No, you can never over-do cuddles and kisses.
It's like saying you can over-love !!
I still breastfeed my 20 month old DS, which involves loads of cuddling (a third person is involved in these episodes, DS's very tatty brown teddy : )
Because he gets loads of attention he doesn't have to ask for it which is why I think he is so independent.
I have heard loads of rubbish from some people including close family saying that bf over 1 year makes a child clingy.
In fact I think the opposite must be true because he is so totally NOT clingy.
