DD is 15months old and has always been clingly or that is what I believed. But now I am starting to think I am the clingly one.
She was bf untill about a month ago when I thought that is enough, she was constantly snacking on breast milk and using it for comfort. So I have stopped and her behaviour has improved alot.
I am now a single parent and when dd goes to see exp I feel lonely like somthing is missing, I think it is because I am sooo used to have her with me all the time.
Friday night she stayed at exp's house for the night and was perfectly fine without me,so I m starting to think why am I so over the top, she is 15months old and does not need me all the time.
Also I want to take her to nursey or a childminer so I can work more days but keep putting it off as feel she will not be able to cope. Or they will not look after her as well as I do. Or I feel guilty thinking as a mum you should be with your child as much as possible at this young age.
I have only been out about five times scince dd was born. I feel like a saddo, is anyone else like this?
