Don't worry you are NOT alone!! My little 14mth old baby girl is doing the same thing, she's been rather clingy and whingy lately and although she has been sick the last week (we had gastro very badly at our house) the poor thing is still not that 100% just yet. But yes they get bored really easily. I think it's just a stage.... it will pass. Just remember the motto every mother should live by "this too shall pass" hehe
you're doing a great job - we all are .... when my DD is like this, I try to remember that one day she will be older and won't want to be around me so I try to make the most of it but it's hard some days hey.
Sorry, no advice. But you are NOT a bad mum, not at all - it's just all part of being a mum, we have good periods and bad periods. I hope things start to look up soon!
PJ - nope you def are not alone.
Think I had blocked this stage out from DD, but DS is just unreal!
I'm going with the stage thing too...gotta be a light at the end
I remind my 3yo constantly when she whinges "talk to me in a normal voice please" "is that your normal voice or your yucky voice?" "is that the way to ask or is there a better way, without whinging, and in a normal voice?" etc etc
It works in the moment then she'lll forget again... but I'm trying to be consistent so she learns the right way to speak to me and others.
I think its very very common though. We just try not to give in to her requests if she's whinging for them, and reward her when she speaks properly and nicely.
Ohh hun i hear u my dd's 14 months too it must be a stage hopefully! it is horrible i know, ive been trying to distract dd when it starts. doesnt help with the new teeth coming through either.. hopefully we both can get through this stage lol
Hugs hon, you are not a bad mum!!!! My DD is 13 months, so I'm sure this is coming up to me too, but she has her days! She's definately protesting against the word "NO" right now!
I know that Im late reading this, but my 14 month old did exactly the same thing for about 3 weeks and it was just SO tiresome. He shrieked and whined ALL day and he wouldn't even let me hug him. Then it got remarkably worse - then one day, pop a molar tooth plus a change of sleep cycle - turns out he wanted to go from 2 to 1 sleep per day. It was HELL and then it got better. Stay strong, it will pass.
