Over attached???
in Baby
Not baby, me!!! I know everybody adores their child and I do I absolutely love everything about her, but am I over attached? When other people take her, just while I make a cuppa or go to the loo etc I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach, my jaw is clenched and I need to get her back as quick as I can! I'm the same with DH, he took hold of the pram the other day and I freaked out- I said it was like having my arm ripped off, it just felt a real wrench!!! My friend took the pram for me today in boots while I was paying and I said 'oh I'll take her now' and she was like 'it's ok' and I was the same, horrid feeling, needed to take her back! I'm spending my Xmas with all of the family and I'm dreading her being passed round!!!! Is this normal? I feel vile about returning to work and it's 4 months away!!! Help!!!

I remember this from when my LO was small. It is better now she is almost 2 but there are only certain people I will leave her with, but yes when she was a baby I hated it, people wanting to hold her, and passing her round, and never leaving her alone. I also got that feeling in my stomach, like sicky, even when leaving her with Hubby sometimes!!!!!!!!! She will be 2 on 5th Jan, but she has never slept out anywhere. Luckily my in laws are in UK and we are in Channel Islands so I don't have to worry about them too much, except the stupid things they say to OH and when OH decides we need to visit or they come here, but when that does happen, they are the people I hate the most being round her.
I also hated and still do, people saying things like 'hows my girl?' Err, no she is my daughter, my girl, not yours!
So, anyway, just rambled and haven't been any help but just wanted you to know you weren't alone!
Goodness knows what I will be like when No 2 arrives! xxx
Here's to being a mummy, best thing in the world!!! xxx
