Our youngest child is 3 and a half and is very clingy and moany at the moment. For example, wants me to sit next to her at mealtimes and goes mental if one of the older children sits next to me or I try to play a game or activity with them instead of her.
DD constantly cries for me, if I go to the bathroom I have to lock the door to get 2 minutes peace, I can’t do anything in the house without ‘mum, mum, mum, mum, MUM!!’ Literally not even 30 seconds of washing up.
Its absolutely draining and I’m throughly sick of the whining and moaning.
if we go to softplay on our own she will happily go in and play for a bit before asking me to play too but if we go to a softplay with friends she will cry for me to play. I’ve tried leaving her, letting her sit on my knee or whatever but after 10 mins or so she starts ‘mum, mum, mum, MUM, I want to go home now mum, mum, mum, MUM!!! Go home now, Mum!!’ Sometimes she will attempt to run out of the door probably because she knows this will get my attention.
I play with her loads at home so she’s definitely getting lots of attention already. She goes to nursery for 15 hours and teachers say she’s quiet but happy and absolutely fine.
help! This is also driving her two older siblings absolutely bonkers too
