DS just does not seem to be able to play by himself. I have to play cars with him, colour with him, take him to the toilet, basically do everything for him. He can do things himself like going to the toilet but recently he has decided that I have to help him do it, if I tell him to go on his own he will stand there crying until he wets himself. He is even trying to get me to feed him now. If something he wants is not done the second he wants it he will go into melt down.
I cannot move without him being almost attached to me.
All of this is really sweet but is just not practical when I have a difficult 11 month old to take care of too.
How can I get him to be more independant, I cannot do every little thing for him and its driving me up the wall.
AIBU to think that he should not be attached to me constantly?
