20 something Stay at home Moms
I have been a SAHM since May of this year.. and before that I only worked a few evenings a week.. my problem now is that my 3 year old thinks NO ONE but mommy can do things for him. Even something as simple as cleaning him up after he eats.. Daddy cant do it, Mommy HAS to. I dont let him get away with it, but he will have a temper tantrum because daddy buckles him in the car instead of me.. or daddy puts him to bed instead of me.. UGH.. anyone else have this problem??? It is driving me crazy! He needs to go to preschool I think.. torealize that other people CAN take care of him.

However now that she is 4 anytime she gets hurt she cries for daddy... even if he isn't home. Kids can be quite strange lol. I don't know if preschool would help, but it couldn't hurt. She was fine when I wasn't around. If I was home though she thought I needed to do it all. |

by Darcie06 on Sep. 4, 2008 at 1:39 PMI have always been a SAHM and my youngest who is 2 is like this. I never used to baby him or let him always get his way but yet he still does this. It drives me crazy because hey I need a break lol. I can not do everything. I have 4 other kids to take care of. It has especially gotten harder since my DH got switched to 2nd shift. It SUCKS!!! Which got me to start a girls night out! My DS even freaks out though when I leave the house for 5min. He will scream the whole time I am gone. If I leave the house while he is napping and he wakes up and I am not there he completely freaks out. He will search the whole house for me and then throw huge fits til I come back. |
