This is probably going to make me sound like a horrible SM but I just need some tips to try and improve this situation because it's really wearing me down.
I have a SD AGE 6 and SS AGE 9, this thread is about SD as SS does not cause any issues and we get on great.
I had a baby with OH 3 months ago and both SC love him.
Problem arises that SD now will not leave me alone for 1 second. Literally EOW is just me getting harassed by her until she goes to bed.
I do not push her away and we do things alone together like makeovers etc but it is driving me absolutely mental that there is no break.
I think this is obviously her being insecure about new baby which is understandable, I spoke to OH saying maybe he should have a chat with her but he is convinced that she is just obsessed with the baby and is not feeling insecure!
I want to be a blended family but sometimes when my DS is screaming I would like to deal with it without a running commentary and a million questions to answer. Or play with him for 5 mins without her coming in and rubbing her face all over him. Or spend 5 mins chatting to OH having a coffee while the kids play. She will make sure she plays in the exact room we're in and talk to us non stop while she is there.
I don't want to push her away but how do I make her feel more secure so that I get more of a break while she is here.
FYI before baby was here we literally couldn't get her to spend any time with us, she's an iPad addict and would play on it for hours.
It's making me dread the weekends she is coming
