Urgent advice needed - think DH wants to give DS back

167 replies

BangPippleGo · 29/01/2018 14:17

DS (14mo) was placed with us 3 weeks ago. He is waking during the night at 2am and then coming in with us - he slept through the night at his foster carers. He whinges when he is put down if you've been holding him. He's very clingy to me but doesn't really want DH yet. DH is constantly telling him "no" because he tries to climb on things he shouldn't etc because, you know, he's 14mo.

All of which I would say is normal behaviour for a 14mo. DH doesn't think so. Says "we can't give him back because then I would be the cunt who denied you your only chance if being a mum". I feel sick. I don't know what to do.

@Actuallyabitgreynow are you the original poster and did you name change part way through too?

If so, well done and all the best.

Actuallyabitgreynow · 09/05/2021 15:15

@Italiangreyhound yes I am, I've name changed a fair few times over the years! DS is now 4.5, absolutely thriving Grin

Brilliant.

Oh my god leave your husband. I feel awful for this little boy 😢

Actuallyabitgreynow · 09/05/2021 18:50

@giantwaterbottle I already did...

And no need to feel sorry for him, he's the happiest, most loved little boy in the world Wink
