My DS screams blue murder if I leave a room and waits, sobbing and choking at the door, for me to return.
I leave him for one hour a week with MIL while I do an activity with my 3yo DD and he remains hysterical for the whole hour, until I come back.
Is this quite normal? When might he grow out of it and can I help him at all? I feel terrible for him because he gets so distressed. When DP is home, they have great fun together until I sneak out the room for a shower or god forbid to have a quick wee, then all hell breaks loose again and DS ignores DP and clings onto the door waiting for me!
My DD was always so independent at that age so it's all new to me! Anyone have a similar child?
