Why does DD turn into a nightmare with me?!

[LindsayS79]

Hi all
I have a cheeky little 8 month old DD. She is bursting with personality and is an absolute pleasure.

However, I've just noticed that she gets really grumpy/moany when it's just us two ourselves. DH works late shifts, so the three of us get to spend a lot of time together in the day, but the minute he goes to work she starts being a bit of a nightmare.

She screams if I even walk to the kitchen for a few seconds, she moans when I change her nappy, fusses over food and fights sleep!

I'm starting to get worried that she doesn't enjoy my company

Does anyone have any experience of this at all?

Sounds like separation anxiety to me - 8 months is the classic age for it to start.

Oh so maybe she DOES actually like me then!! Getting a bit worried!
