Hi everyone,
So my lo is just over 11 months old.
I noticed when it's just me and her she's calm collective and not really whingy, part from the usual for 11 months old. She will sit on my lap nicely. Watch Thomas with me. Or she will play with me nicely or with herself. If I leave room, she will follow me but won't whinge or start getting upset at stairgate. She talks to me, and I talk back to her. And she's content with that.
Though as soon as Daddy is around, she be whingy, clambering all over him and won't leave him alone. Same with visitors we may have. If he leaves the room, she stands at stairgate whinging and such. Even if I'm with her, she's like this, which isn't her normal if it's just us two. She's the same with any visitors, too.
So I'm in two minds, as I could see this both ways.
Either she's really content and happy with me and knows how we will be everyday as I'm on maternity leave.
Or is it she hating me and just tolerating me? As she much prefers daddy? Or is separation anxiety to him? Or she much prefers other people to me 😆 🤣 😂
Unless there's another reason?
Can anyone advise as I love having people round, and it's lovely getting a break when my partner is around to share for the day. But horrible as this sounds, I also dread it as she whinges all the time when that other person is around.
