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.

    • Don't forget to put water out for the birds during this very hot spell. Just remembered to do it myself.
    • Just visited Carlton following the recommendations above and agree with everything that's already been said. Great no-nonsense service. Another patient phoned while I was there and I heard Carlton say "If you're in pain, don't worry, I'll fit you in," which says it all.
    • Thanks i went to the chiropodist for my toenails! Not my gait. It was a remark he made on seeing my insoles, suggesting tennis ball w revised etc. .  He doesn’t do insoles and at that time i thought mine were ok. A podiatrist has sophisticated equipment for gait analysis etc. it’s not always just about your feet. I have flat feet but am also doing some wierd way of placing my feet. They are also v expensive ! re Guys self referral, I’m not in pain or immobile so think I’d wait a long time for an appointment!  However before my insoles I did have foot pain and also fell over my own clown feet quite regularly!   chiropractor is something different again.    I think I’m after a second opinion on my insoles.  Carlton Jefferson is the chiropodist rear of 60 Peckham Rye  
    • Hey Huggers, please can you share the fabulous chiropodist's details?  Huggers, I think podiatrists are the same as chiropodists, pretty much. Also, why aren't you sticking with the chiropractor, out of interest, if they seem to think the problem is more posture-related, rather than solely (sorry) down to the feet?
