Is anyone else’s children driving them mad? I have 4 children ages 9,8 6 and 3 it’s mainly the 6 year old he is very very clingy, I can’t go anywhere in the house without him following me, he seems to want to be wherever I am and it’s constant, he pesters me all day to play games with him then if I don’t he sulks and becomes unbearable. I can’t even go to the kitchen / toilet without him following me (I expect this from a younger child but he is 7 in March) I just find him smothering me atm, they don’t go anywhere or see there dad so it’s just me with them 24/7, is it normal for a 6 year old to be this clingy?

The 9 and 8 year old probably feel like a clique to him and the youngest probably gets the most attention. At 6 you can ask why he doesn’t like to spend time playing on his own, he will give you some answer even if it’s I don’t know then it makes him think about it.

the 9 and 8 year old don’t really interact at all (boy and girl) and both have autism, my 9 year old keeps to herself mainly the 8 and 6 year old interact more (both boys) but still not super close, he is closest to the youngest but mainly spends all day winding her up possibly for attention

Will definitely be an attention thing. Do the older two also exhibit some of this behaviour?
