So this is the first time Iv posted and tonight I have major mum guilt. My 2 yr old boy for the last couple of weeks has been incredibly clingy, throwing tantrums and waking through the night (a lot!). I get this is all normal development. However normally I can put him in his bed and he will take himself off. The last 2 weeks Iv had to sit with him or he will scream and cry. I’m not talking a tantrum I’m talking a proper fretful panicky cry. It’s the same when I drop him off at nursery. A lot has changed the last few months with me having to work full time (or I would have lost my job) a house move, big boy bed, moved up a room at nursery and the biggy... daddy working away Monday to Friday. We don’t have family close by so it’s just me through the week. Tonight Iv lost it. The tantrums got too much, I got full on hit in the face by my boy and I just shouted at him to stop hitting. When things had calmed I explained hitting is not nice and he hurt mummy and we had hugs and made friends. Tonight putting him to bed we did our usual routine and my lb said “mummy leaving” needless to say I’m broken. How can I help him understand that I’m not leaving him 😢😢😢 it’s a long post but need to see the background
