Oh hun, your poor poppet seems to have it really rough ATM, I guess you're just going to have to ride it out . I know when DS is only slightly more whingey than normal, I get really impatient with him as normally he's a pretty easy going toddler, and then of course I feel guilty because he just wants to be cuddled more than normal (be it ear ache, teething, high temp etc). I can't imagine a child wanting to hang off you all day long, but I guess because she's unwell she turns to you for comfort. I guess that little ones don't understand why they are in pain, and can't do things for themselves so they turn to mummy. Big hugs, and I hope it passes for your DD quickly.
oh it is normal. I have to keep reminding myself of the same thing.
Do you wear her at all? When DD is insistent and I need to do things she has to go on my back.
It does sound like your ability to cope is compromised right now - can you call in extra help and support? That, combined with her extra need, makes things extra hard for the both of you.
