(Delete as you please). Sorry bit long.
We're slowly losing patience with our 8 mo DS. He's never been good about being left alone and I am aware of the 'fussy phases' outlined in the wonder weeks book. When he's going through these everything is just 20 times worse.
He literally cannot be left for ANY time without kicking off. He follows us around the house and will hang off my legs and pull himself to standing, whinging until I pick him up.
My DH has been off for 6 weeks and is starting his new job a week on Monday. I think that having us both around hasn't helped matters, but I am DREADING when I am on my own again. We have a skiing holiday booked for Saturday and I am most excited about the prospect of leaving him from 9-5 everyday. I know how mean that sounds, but he's just so suffocating that both of us are getting fed up.
Help. Please tell me that he'll grow out of this? Do I simply leave him to cry and keep on running away from him when he crawls after him? How they hell do I get him playing for even five mins on his own? We've recently moved house and I am getting us signed up to more mum and baby groups. But even at those he juts out the bottom lip and hangs off my legs.
Aaaaaaaargh!
