but Leah has been so dang fussy. OMG

I feel horrible, but it's too the point that it can be frustrating at times. I try to give her Tylenol/teething tablets in case it's teething. She always has food/sippy cup available, so she shouldn't be crying related to hunger. Whenever I try to get her to take a nap...she screams, hits, kicks, and cries horribly. I just don't know what to do with her.
I can't walk away from her for one second without her walking behind me and screaming like she's horrified of being alone. I promise you...I love my daughter. I really do. Maybe I need a little break to refresh myself. I even went out and bought her new toys bc I thought she might be bored.
Another thing, I feel like I can't take her to restaurants anymore. Whenever I put her in the highchair, she climbs right our or screams bloody murder until we take her out. I haven't eaten a meal without a baby in my arms in so long. It's almost kind of embarrassing...even though I could give a rat's a** what other people think, because I'm sure other's have been through it as well.
I guess days like this I just feel like I'm doing something wrong, or I'm missing something What if something was horribly wrong with my child, and that's why she's so fussy, and I'm missing all of the signs. Blahhhh....I'm such a worry wart. Maybe this is just a hard stage, and she just needs to be constantly entertained...I don't know.

Okay...I'm stoping now

I just needed to vent a little. Love you guys

I hear you, Kim! Avery is currently hanging onto my pant leg whining at me. I've tried everything. She is cutting her top 4 (yes, 4) teeth right now & is just miserable. I try to hold her & she throws herself backwards... I put her down & she screams. Bah! Ethan was so independent at this age & Avery still wants me 24/7.

Hang in there Mama.

Right there with you. Luca is a total velcro baby. If I don't pay him attention he crawls up the back of my legs and bites me on the arse (literally!) and if I pick him up but continue what I'm doing he bites my neck. He follows me everywhere crying and is not happy unless he has my full and undivided attention all the time. So freaking annoying!!!!

Noah does this too, he follows me everywhere and screams until I pick him up, and honestly there are times when I just have to let him scream because I have to take care of one of the other kids. Or he'll be playing happily and the second I leave the room he screams.

Juliana is very clingy too, especially lately. I WFH and I have to take my snacks upstairs and keep them in a stash because if I come down and she sees me, she'll scream until I pick her up and won't let me put her down. She's also at the stage where she gets very fixated on certain things and just insists on playing with that specific thing (the dog bowl, dog toys, cotton balls, whatever) until she's done and don't even think about taking her away from it! It can be very frustrating.

My daughter has days like this sometimes (makes me feel like hiding in a closet) and other days she is perfectly fine playing by herself. Its so bizarre! Hopefully Leah will "phase out" of this soon!

Hope she gives you a break today. Kaileigh has days where I dont even exist then others days she is clinging to my leg. I belive its just the age, and when they want their momma, they want her now.

Vent away - and you're doing fine. Maggie's going through it too...OMG, some days I'm like, "I have a body under here somewhere that actually does belong to just me!"

A break is a very healthy and happy thing! Grab a book and go for a coffee. It's glorious.
