To be dying for some personal space?

[malificent7]

Dd, 8 is lovely and i do want to spend time with her but when we are together i dont want the following behaviours:
I dont want to be followed round the house being adked questions. I wang to go to the loo in peace.

I dont want her clambering all over me.
I dont want her wiping her sticky fingers on my clothes.
I dont want her going in mh handbag and fishing stuff out.
I dont want her going in my make up vag.
When im lying in bed at the weekend i wang to read mh book without her jumoing on me ir nagging ne.

Am i normal?
I find it very hard as when i ask her to stop she refuses or says i dont want to spend time with her.

This is not true but i do feel she should learn ghat if someone disnt wang to be touched etc you shoumd respect their wishes.

But that's what children do

No it isn't. At 8? Rifling through handbags and make up, following around the house? That isn't just what children do.
Why can't she read her own book while you are reading yours, OP? Can she not entertain herself for a while?

My 3 year old does it, my 8 year old doesn't. Buy her a tablet, download Minecraft and enjoy your freedom

It's probably turned into a vicious circle, you're irritated, understandably, she senses this, making her cling even more, to some how get a positive reaction, but because you're are annoyed this isn't happening. Shes old enough to have a sit down talk, explain you love and want to be with her very much but you also need some space sometimes. So, when it's time for closeness you truly mean it, then when it's separate time she respects that too. I'm sure the clinging will ease off. Your daughter really needs to feel safe and secure when you're close though. She shouldn't have any doubts in her mind about this.
