Need to know because Im starting to believe all those people who said Im just creating a 'rod for my own back' (worn out phrase!)by loving ds so much. Mums of 2 have told me they didnt with no.2 and so much for the better. The older generation are warning me to be firmer.
My LO is 23 months and is exceptionally clingy. At playgroups he plays well but runs back to me frequently for hugs. I work 2 days a week and he still gets hysterical when I leave for work (since 9 months old)
I am very affectionate with him. Wanted him to always feel reassured. Even to the point that I took 4 months off work recently to be with him all the time, its only made him even clingier!
Likewise my dh has been on summer holiday for past 6 weeks and he is now v clingy with him too....
what are we doing wrong?
