Any tips for an anxious toddler?

Hi mamas,
I need some advice about my little girl. She's 22 months old and is a real character most of the time. She's never been a chilled baby from the day she was born and definitely has a bit of a bossy boots personality, especially with me. It seems to come out most when she's anxious about me leaving the room or when I'm not giving her my full attention, particularly when we're at home.

For example, if I'm trying to do jobs around the house, she'll follow me around crying and throwing herself on the floor. This can be something as simple as making her lunch. She can see me the whole time, and I always make sure she has everything she needs, toys, books, etc. So she can hopefully play while I get on with what I need to do.

Sometimes it's so bad that I've started asking my husband (who works from home) to sit with her while I pack her nappy bag or get the pram ready so she stays calm. I'm not talking about doing a full house clean, just really small, everyday tasks.
I worry that I'm pandering to her anxiety by doing this, but at the same time I'm just trying to keep the peace so we can get out of the door without everything turning into a meltdown.
I've also found myself relying on the TV quite a lot, which I'm not happy about. We only watch low-stimulation programmes, but the TV is often on for most of the time we're indoors because it's one of the only things that keeps her settled.

Outside the house you couldn’t find a more confident, cheerful, cheeky monkey. She runs circles around me in for an entirely different reason and is outwardly confident.

Has anyone else been through something similar? Is this just a phase, or is there anything I can do to help her become a bit more independent and comfortable when I'm busy for a few minutes? I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance.

Husband & MIL

Can someone please tell me if this was rude. I don't feel like this a huge let me get divorce situation but I also know progressively it will bother me more. My MIL at the beginning was always being rude to my husband and giving me back handed comments; she noticed that her "help" was not needed as much as she thought, she's used to being needed when it comes to caring for babies in her family bc the parents lack basic parenting. Now she's always on my husbands business, 5 years in and I'm noticing my husband has mommy issues. His mom was very manipulative and was present but not hands on with them. Long story short she was rude to

Now to the message:
I discussed to my husband that when my child goes over to his parents or my parents; he's there so his grandparents can enjoy his company not for them to take care of him. Why did I say this? Because I noticed that both parties lack patience. So why would I put my child in uncomfortable situation, they're not bad grandparents but if you didn't parent your own children how can you do it with a grandchild, my husband knew that I work really hard for my son to not have screen time. Well, his grandma gave him the iPad before bed, my son comes home with dad the next day a complete feral child crying to watch something on the TV. I asked him if he has screen time with grandma and he said yes. He shared dad fell asleep and he slept with grandma and grandpa. I also shared with my husband that I don't like that. I don't want my child sleeping with anyone. My husband shares that my mil asked when he was going to visit____, another state. idk what she's thinking but we're not in financial place to be traveling, but that's non of her business. Not only that my husband cannot watch our kid all day and night. Like hell need some screen time. Literally, it takes a lot to not have screen time. Not only that but I have noticed that he allows our kid to walk behind him I parking lots, doesn't pack his essentials properly like water bottles etc. so why would I be okay with him taking our kid to another state with my MIL. Also, my mil gave my son gum, and when he was a young toddler they almost gave him peanuts like that little seed snacks.
Considering how pushy she is I messaged her and said the following, I also told her she's more than welcome to take my husband to her trip since my husband wants to be baby by her at his grown age and she wants to do what she didn't want to do before;

toddler boys

moms I have a 14 month old toddler boy he’s very energetic and I’m thinking about putting him in a sport or some type of activity. What would you guys recommend? He’s already in swimming but I wanna maybe include one more social activity where he’s around kids his age. we also go to the park daily.

3 kids & confused lol

So I have 2 toddlers & a baby
3.5 years, 1.9 years and a 5 month old.

I’m just questioning if I’m failing or if this is normal.
I’m having a hard time keeping things organized. Laundry is a constant. Washing, folding, putting away. Am I the only one that is struggling having the time to keep things organized and put away? I try so hard to keep tank tops, short sleeves, long sleeves, play clothes put away in the exact spot. All that with 10 mins in between feeding and crying and just having to console, break up an argument about a toy and feeding my infant. Is this normal or am I behind??

Potty training at nursery

Our 21 month old has started potty training over the weekend with some success. I asked nursery if she can be taken to the potty regularly and should I bring her training knickers in.

The reply was due to the potty/toilets being far away (they are across the nursery ) this is a challenge. Can encourage her to go when necessary.

Wondered how everyone else's nursery continues to implement the potty training progress made at home. I worry it'll be 2 steps forward at home and then 2 steps back on nursery days.

Thanks

how do you manage to do everything?

I am a 24 year old SAHM my partner is a gamekeeper so he works long hours. This is my first home (been here for a year) and my first baby (girl 2 months), i have never really been good at tidying or orgnaising or just generally staying on top of everything but i feel like it’s even harder with a baby. I am really trying my hardest but the house still gets in a mess and some things dont get done. I want to get into a routine and have the house looking perfect (ish) so i’m not embarrassed when my partner comes home. does anyone have any tips or tricks? x

Time without my babies

I think it’s crazy to me my fiance thinks I can’t leave the house with the baby. I’m a sahm and he works 7 days and most of his schedule is from sun up to sun down….
I have a daughter coming into this relationship and when I have to get her and he’s home I’ll say hey I be back and he goes I just got off work and you want me to watch the babies.. uhh yes they’re you’re kids. Or sometimes I run to the store or pick up my oldest and if I leave the babies he complains or comment about it. When I get home he say you sure do know how to turn a 30 minute trip to an hour and it’s like damn do I not deserve time away from the babies I’m here every single day with them. If I want to go out to an event I have to ask my mom to watch him because he’ll complain that he has the kids for 2-3 hours .now he tells me to take 1 and I’m like why when you go to the stores or have to run errands you’ll just do it without even offering to take one of the babies 🙄🙄 mind you he ask for these kids and I told him I don’t want to feel like I don’t have a personal life just because I have kids and he said he won’t let that happen. With my first child’s father he never acted like this and he was the bread winner and I was the sahm .
