My DS is 3.4 yrs and has for the past month got so clingy that it is litteraly driving me mad.
If I try to have a conversation with someone (anyone except him) he interupts desperate for my attention, screams if I leave the house without him, and won't leave the house with his dad. Even to the park to play football, which he normally loves!
I am a childminder and therefore spend all day with him and have since he was born, but he has never been like this before.
DP used to bath him every night and now he is always asking for me to put him in the bath, DP is not allowed to put his shoes on or anything, it is getting ridiculous!
He is due to start going to nursery 5 afternoons a week from September and really need him to get out of this before then. Is also causing friction between me and DP as I think he should be making more of an effort to do things with him and he just says 'he doesn't want me'.
Any advice would be much appreciated
