Separation anxiety

Same and the back pain is horrible. I’m also pregnant so it’s even harder. His dad will take him and let him cry for a bit because he typically calms down once he can still see me but it has been a really big adjustment

It’s awful 😞 I can’t put her in her play pen, most times I can’t put her down anywhere because she starts crying. And I hate going to work because she crawls after my crying when I’m walking towards the door

Yessss. He was already being super clingy, but then he started daycare last week. First time he's ever been away from me during the day for any length of time (I was working nights) and it's breaking my heart! He needs at least an hour of reconnection time when I pick him up and then he's more clingy than usual for the rest of the night. I just keep reminding myself that no matter what I *need* to do, he needs me more right now. The chores can wait.

@Crystal thank you for this! Debating as well of putting my daughter in daycare just because I need to make some $ and for my mental health 😅

He is adjusting and I will say, as reluctant as I was to do it, the breathing room to get a few things done around the house or run a few errands has been incredible! I almost don't even know what to do with myself. The first couple of days I felt like part of me was completely missing. Like, I don't know what to do with my hands!😂

My 1year old is the same, I can’t even put him down to eat he starts screaming to the top of his lungs even when I lay him down to change his diaper then reach for a diaper he starts screaming idk if it’s cause he’s teething or growing but he sounds like someone is killing him as soon as I set him down

Yeah & it’s been so hard on me bc I can’t fit in much me time but also he’s the greatest

Right here! 🙋🏼‍♀️With the dreaded back arch when you try to put them down? You are not alone girl lol🤣 Jesus take the wheel lol

It’s such a relief to hear these stories! I have a baby that HAS to be held or at least within grabbing distance to me or my husband at ALL times. Doesn’t like to be held or watched by anyone else. I’m trying so hard to appreciate being needed this much but I also want to be able to do a little chores or heck, guiltlessly using the bathroom.
