Clinginess
Before anyone judges I would just like to say that I love my son and he’s my purpose in life but I’m finding it hard to do simple tasks because he’s so attached and clingy he’s screams and holds his breath to the point his lips turn blue when he’s when not near me or I need his dad to watch him while I make dinner do other task’s etc . I’ve tried getting him involved like putting him in high chair and talking to him while I make dinner etc but he just loses it. We have to blow in his face for him to take a breath and he almost passes out. I work 3 days a week so he goes to nursery lots of baby classes and is so social but at home he just can’t stand the thought of not being around me. His dad feels awful like he doesn’t love him because of how distressed he gets.

Separation anxiety is real.. we are currently going through it! It’s extremely tough when even just popping to the toilet causes a meltdown wondering where you are. X
No judgment, I’m right there with you. I love him but jeez I just want a break 😂 it’s world war 3 if it’s dads turn to put him to bed. He refuses to hug or cuddle him or kiss him. He thinks it’s funny when he rejects him and wants me. We’ve had months and months of this. It has gotten better recently, he still wants me to put him to bed but he asks for dada now for things rather than me and cuddles and kisses him.
It’s mentally exhausting being the one always being wanted so I totally get it xx
