My son will be 3 in March and he's so attached to me. He wants me and my attention 24/7. I don't mind, I mean sometimes it's hard. I can't even go for a wee without him screaming at the bottom of the stairs so then I have to bring him up with me.
Even when dads home at the weekends and I pop upstairs he screams at the bottoms for me till I come back downstairs.
When I go off to make tea he's at my legs pushing me crying asking for a mummy hug. I tell him he can have a hug for 5 minutes then mummy had to make tea. That doesn't work he still screams till I've finished making tea and can be with him again.
When he's upset he wants me, when he's tired he wants me.
I mean I don't mind all this at all but my partner says I've made him this way because I have babied him too much.
This has caused arguments with me and my partner because I am a lot softer and I do give into our son too easily but I don't like the way my partner parents him. I think he's too hard on him and it's causing a lot of stress between us.
I don't know what to do 😩
