Anyone else’s toddler super clingy suddenly?

This week has been really rough. My daughter doesn’t want to be with anyone besides myself or my husband, which of course I love. It’s just that I’ve been feeling guilty each time I have to leave for work. This phase is really hard

Looking for solidarity more than anything 🤍

Yes !! My daughter has. I realized she has 6 teeth coming in though 😬 and she was sick which messed up our schedule a lot. But yes very veryyyy clingy when she’s usually really independent

Omg girl ALL DAY! My boy is 13 months and so clingy and whiny. I’m exhausted and overwhelmed 😅 SOS

I thought it was just my 13 month old omg I’m going a bit crazy it’s all day clingy and crying….

Yes and im a SAHM! For the last 13+ months 😩

Yes my little girl has 13mo and super clingy for a couple days. Constantly wants me to hold her. I just saw today that a tooth broke the skin so I assume it is because of that.

Yes only want me all day and will scream and cry with everyone else except his dad but even then will still prefer me it’s been exhausting to say the least 😩

Yeeeep, mine is always like that but he’s been extra lately..

Yup. She was super independent for most of babyhood but no longer 😕 I’m also inclined to blame teething and lack of routine over the holidays, as others have mentioned. Although who knows, it might just be a thing 🤷‍♀️

Yes! He’s clingy 24/7. It’s driving me nuts

I’m glad to know I’m not alone! Sounds like this may just be a phase

Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one going through this, not to mention teething on top of it

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Go to dinner ideas

Looking for recipes you use in your family that are not the traditional lasagna, shepards pie, ect

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Bestie where are you?!

Hey I really need to make some friends being a mom is so lonely. Distance does not matter to me (I can’t see waves)

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
