Baby crying

I don’t personally think this is the case. He obviously just loves you and wants your comfort/attention when he sees you which isn’t a bad thing at all x

Following as I’m finding the same with my little girl. Shes such a good baby but going through a phase of such bad temper screams if I do something she doesn’t like or want me to do but I leave her with someone else and she’s a dream. I mean I’d rather she behaved for other people but it’s exhausting and I don’t know how to help it.

I don’t think your baby is weaponising his cries. Babies/toddlers cry and have tantrums in front of their mothers more because you’re their safe place. That’s why it always seems like they’re angels for their grandparents and nightmares for you 😅

When I say weaponise I mean that this boy is cheeeeky! Already! So he’ll cry if he doesn’t get what he wants and if he gets it he gives a little smile (like he knows what he’s doing hence the weaponising) he’s a babe he’s just very cleaver from what I can see and know how to get what he wants xx

Levi’s right, you’re his safe place and the chance is he’s been putting on a brave face and bottling up his emotions until you come and pick him up. Then he feels safe to let his emotions out around you. It’s a well known thing, children often behave much worse for their mums…brace yourself if he’s starting nursery! 😂 I know it’s hard but try and take it as a compliment!

This is our girl to a tee, I work all day on Tuesday (from home), and she doesn't cry once, but better believe from Wednesday to Monday, she will cry for my attention nonstop! Having to load the dishwasher holding her is wrecking my back, as is dancing her around the room hours a day! But I'm so aware that one day she won't want me to hold her as much, so I put up with it for now! X

Yeah it’s like the others say, you’re the safe space. Hate to break it to you but it’ll be that way for a long time. My toddler is an angel with the grandparents and throws tantrums with me all the time. That’s normal, they just feel they’re more comfortable and more likely to express their emotions.
