Miss JB has always been quite a cheery independent soul but over the past few weeks she has become increasingly clingy. She wants to sit on my lap constantly and whines and cries if I leave the room for a second. It's making it impossible to get anything done around the house and the days seem very long. She's even gone off cbeebies!


I know it will pass but would be grateful for any tips on how to survive this phase. Is there any point in trying to resist/encourage independence or do I just give in to having a toddler permanently on my lap? She's fine when other children are around or when we're out and about so I'll try to make sure we have lots of play dates and activities to break up the days. Reassurance and advice very welcome.

I too have an 18 month hold and I could have written this. It started 1 month ago and Daddy just isn't cutting the mustard right now. It HAS to be "Mammmeeeee". It started when the two if us went to visit my parents for a week without her dad.

I'm trying to make dinner/wash up with this little body between my legs like a forward in a scrum.

Hopefully it is a short phase as I have no solutions only empathy and a degree of reassurance that I am not alone.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
