Hi everyone

I just wanted some opinions on whether or not i am leaving DD too much and this is why she is being clingy or whether it's "just a phase"? She is 2.5.

My normal weekly routine is this:

Monday - Gym Creche from 9.30 - 11.00am. (she whinges when i leave her but it's just for my benefit as when i've gone out of the door, she stops immediately), followed by a coffee (me, not DD!) and a quick play in the little soft play room (DD, not me!)
Rest of the day with mummy
6.30pm - Mummy is back at the gym and DD stays at home with daddy for bath/bedtime routine.

Tuesday - used to do nothing but now DD goes to nursery from 12.45 til 3.15pm. (She hates it. Cries all the way there but calms down after a while when i've gone.)

Wednesday - Gym Creche from 9.30 - 11.30am. (more whinging). We go swimming in the gym after (which she loves) and then we have lunch there.

Thursday - Spends the day with Nanna (who she adores) as i have to work.

Friday - Same as Thursday

Saturday - All day with mummy

Sunday - I go to the gym at 8.30am, DD stays home with Daddy til i get around 11am.

So do you think i am leaving her too much? She really hates being left lately and i dont know whether i am the cause or whether it's her age and she's trying to show my her protest at being left by being so whingy and clingy!!

Thank you!
