My kids are the same. Have been since like 5 months old. There is no problem with it and they should never be made to feel like there is. Just keep doing your best and try to ignore other people’s opinions. You’re doing great❤️
No it’s not your fault. Also kids not need to be socialized until 3 actually. At 2 they need one on one time with you and dad. At this stage toddlers get very sky because they are more aware of stranger danger not saying family is strangers but if they don’t see them a lot or only on holidays then this is completely normal behavior for a toddler. Sorry your family gave you a hard time especially on Mother’s Day. You are doing a great job because your son felt very secure with you. Don’t worry mama.
I have two boys one is 2 and the other 3! One does really well in social settings and the other gets over whelmed by big groups both are raised the exact same way some kids are just shy! They also dont go to daycare!
Next time they tell you something say: I understand you say all of this on the best interest of my kid. I’ll take him to daycare, you’re right, I know you’re concerned and seem very comfortable on giving suggestions about motherhood, therefore I’m open and comfortable taking your suggestion and payment for the daycare, I’ll send you the monthly bill, I take cash or card or Venmo.
My son is the same age and he is around people all day long. Not day care but still socialized and hes the same way. Hes been that way since 5 months
@Melanie my son is usually ok when they come to our house but when we’re somewhere else that when he starts crying non stop
My son is the same way and he will be 2 next month. He doesn’t enjoy being out in public or at someone else’s house. He likes playing at home or by himself when we’re in the backyard. On Mother’s Day we went to an arcade thinking he would have fun and want to interact with all the lights and colors and he acted like a baby the whole time. Didn’t want to get down or play and actually cried at one point when my husband and I was cheering because we won him a ball. He’s sensitive to the world and to other people. He’s only really been around us until about a year and a half
We have the same issue and similar situation happened on mother’s day brunch as well, besides family telling us that its our fault. But i read a lot about it and most often seeing that like someone above mentioned, some kids are just shy and that ok!
Girl. Some kids are just shy. Socialism is great! But your child is NOT ruined if they don’t go to daycare or have play dates! My family does the exact same thing and I just want to tell them all to shove it!! You’re doing your best I’m sure. Who cares what anyone else things. On the other hand, I’m sorry you had a hard Mother’s Day. I hope the rest of the day goes beautifully for you mama❤️
