Clingy older kids?

Question

Any moms that already have kids dealing with this? My 8 (almost 9) year old has been up my butt all afternoon. He's been this way for a couple days...like how everyone is putting on here about their pets, only with a kid! I think he would have come into the bathroom with me if I hadn't locked the door!

Answer

Omg! my 4 year old is sooooo needy, like she's literally always right behind me or climbing on me and talking non stop, this mommy needs a break even for an hour.

Answer

My current situation hahaha
She's 2 and has become so clingy the last few days. I think she can sense baby brother is coming soon! I'm 35 weeks and 2 days :)

Answer

My daughter (who is 7) is always following me, wanting to cuddle, hug, kiss, and she even follows me into the bathroom lol part of me wants to say it's annoying but she's been my only baby these last 7 years and I know adjusting to life with a baby brother will be hard. Plus she's always worried, asking if I'm ok because the pregnancy has been painful...

Answer

My 8 year old daughter has been like that but I'm chalking it up to the fact that she is on summer break!

Answer

I love my son. And cuddling with him. But to be honest hes sooo clingy lately.. I know more and more little baby stuff is popping up around the house and hes noticing. Hes constantly with me in the bathroom. Refuses to sleep in his bed. Hes in my room by midnight. Right next to me and daddy.. Dont get me started about the grocery store.  He refuses to sit in the cart he wraps his arms around me and says "let me hold you honey" He wants me to lug him around the store which is not easy hes 40 lbs it usually resorts to him throwing a fit in the cart trying to jump out throwing items out of the cart and screaming. Hes 2 1/2 ..3 in december. Im exhausted with him alone. Being 35 weeks pregnant is just the cherry on top.

Answer

Mu 3 year old wont even let me shower in peace.  He will waltz right in and ask if I'm done yet repeatedly, then he'll bring me a towel and will not leave until I turn off the water and take it from him. I love my baby boy, but I need space!

Answer

My 8 year old... "Mama, I want nuggles." "Can I sit in the mama-nest." "I can't sleep, I want to sleep with you."

Between her and the cats, I'm going a bit crazy... Thank goodness we go back to school within the next two weeks (this week, for me; next week, for her).

Answer

My 9yr old son was like that a couple of weeks ago. It wore off after about a wk or 2. I seriously had to tell him to leave me alone a couple of times lbs. I told him he was so attached bc he was nesting lol

Answer

My 3 year old is constantly saying things like "hold me like a baby" "feed me like a baby". He also sleeps in our bed and follows me around all of the time.  He's super whiney lately too.  He doesn't listen and he's been very defiant and will pinch or yell or hit if he's mad at you. I've only got a month or so to go, so I've got to find a solution.  This is all new behavior in the last month or so.

Answer
