DS is 5 and DD is nearly 3 and they've become even more clingy than usual lately - just with me. They want me to do everything for/with them - if DP tries to do it, its always 'no, I want mummy to do it'. Everything from helping them to get dressed, getting their breakfast, helping DD onto her chair, giving them baths, and so on - they just want me to do it! If anyone else if there, they don't want to know them.
My mum says I give them too much attention, although I feel I don't give them enough attention which is why they always want me. I work four days a week and when I'm at home it always seems to be a rush of getting housework done, etc and I don't feel I have much quality time with them. I think this is why they are demanding my attention. Although DP works the same amount and they don't act the same towards him, so I'm not sure.
When they ask me to do everything I obviously can't do it all - DP and I normally help one get dressed each, for example, but the one who isn't with me nearly always gets upset.
Should I back off more and get them used to other people doing things with them, or should I give them more attention as they are craving it?
