I have an adorable 18 month old DD, but recently she has started constantly crying, clinging to me and demanding to be picked up. As soon as I leave she is fine and if she is out at nursery or with Grandparents she is fine until she sees me then it starts again.

I only work part time so she is home alone with me most of the time, but even when my OH is here at weekends she is only happy when I either am not here or holding her.

It's not if I give in to her tantrums and daddy wont, she just wont try it with anyone else but me.

Its making me feel awful and doubting what I am doing.

Is this a normal phase? If not what am I doing wrong?

It will pass. She has just learnt that she can influence what you do by crying that is all.

Don't worry, perfectly normal
