my ds is sooooooooo clingy at the moment & it's driving me mad. he goes to nursery 2 days a week which he used to love, has lots of friends, but recently has been upset when either dp or i leave him & fairly unsettled during the day. i thought that it was due to the 2.5 weeks christmas holiday, but he's been back over a month & isn't much better.
he's also very clingy at home. we've had a nice chilled day today, stayed at home, played with friends but he was upset at bedtime that i wouldn't stay & watch him sleep. he's told me to go & have a go on the 'puter, have a bath & then go back to him (he knows me too well ).
i'm pregnant with number 2, due in july, so i think he's aware that things are going to change. i'm just finding it all very exhausting, & get very little time off - he comes into our bed most nights, i go to bed early as i'm exhausted & just want a bit of adult time (let alone spending time with dp...).
dp & i are going away for 2 nights next week, my parents are coming down to look after ds. i am looking forward to it, just dread the fallout, i think he'll be really upset. and as a hormonal nightmare myself i'll be really upset too.
arrrrgh, advice please!
