I am feeling really guilty. My baby is almost 8 months old, has learned she can stand up and all she wants to do is hold my hands to stand up. She gets extremely whiny, whingy and frustrated whenever I’m doing something that doesn’t involve holding her hands. This morning I was trying to set up a new baby camera and I couldn’t work out how to do it and she kept trying to climb me and was shouting and whinging. I pick her up and put her down on her bottom and I shouted ‘enough’ and she got really upset. this is probably me just ranting but when does it phase stops?! She used to be entertaining herself up until a couple of weeks ago but now she just won’t entertain herself anymore. I used to play with her and I still do now but before I was able to at least leave her do to bits, now no matter what new toys I show her she won’t let me wash bottles, tidy up, make lunch without crawling to my legs and cry 😭 I end up having to put tv on for a few minutes so I can sit down in peace without her whinging or whining. It’s constant, literally constant
