How do you deal with this?
When does it stop? Or at least settle down?
It's driving me nuts. Sometimes I'm heading into meltdown territory before I'm even out of bed.
Here is an example: I'm in bed BF DD. DS comes in from his room & climbs into bed beside me then pulls at me & pushes DD. I try to cuddle both but this makes it uncomfortable for me to feed & DD starts to cry then DS throws a tantrum if I make him wait.
Another example: Both kids will be playing happily by themselves. DS will decide he wants a cuddle which I happily give. DD then starts crying & trying to push her way between DS & I. DS then fights back usually resulting in cranky mummy, hurt DD & angry DS.
They don't do this to DH or anyone else. Just me. As soon as I'm in the room, both of them have to be attached to me. It's getting ridiculous. It doesn't seem to be any particular need - just pure jealousy. And it's both of them!
DS just doesn't seem to understand that mummy can cuddle both at the same time. DD is too little to understand that I think. Both of them get heaps of attention from both DH & I. I try to give both of them as much one on one time as possible. It's not always possible though when they are so little.
