14 month old not normal?

My family is telling me what she does is not normal. She’s basically full of energy and does not sit still a single second of the day and is always pulling stuff. She does whatever she wants even if i say no a million times. If I call her name she just continues doing whatever she wants. If call her name and say LOOK PIZZA she will look up at me immediately. What am I doing wrong? I thought kids are suppose to be like this at this age to learn and explore. Yeah I’m exhausted trying to tame her all the time. She doesn’t stay in my arms for more than 2 minutes and then wants to be picked up all the time. If I walk 10 feet away from her she will freak out. Just separation anxiety. I know it will be a while until she is more chill but at what point will she listen to me and obey? Any advice? Thanks.

Girl, I’m in the same boat!! I thought I was reading my story above about me and my son! Lol “Normal” or not, we have to find what works for us! Sorry, don’t really have a lot of advice. I have noticed that sprinkling water..just from my fingers...on him gets him to stop. He loves water, just not sprinkled on him out of the blue. 🤷🏽‍♀️ No’s don’t work for him. He’s into EVERYTHING!! He’s from one “no” to the next “no”....🤦🏽‍♀️all day long. Just keep your head up! Keep trying new things to see what will work. I have noticed that if I’m trying to focus on something, like dishes, he’s into everything he shouldn’t be. If I’m just sitting there watching him, he’s perfectly fine. I think ours is an attention thing.

Every baby is different. We have to just love each one the way they are and do the best we can in raising/disciplining them. The struggle for us mommas is finding out what works!! You got this! Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks.

Lol good to know im not alone. Im glad othera in my life had chill babies but it doesnt help me in any way to tell me mine isnt theirs. 🙃
