    Hi MFD, can't really advise on the seperation anxiety..maybe it will be one of those thigs that will just pass? We have never allowed any of the kids in our bed, in fact they are not allowed even in our bedroom....So have never really had a problem there, obviously had ds2 who wouldn't sleep but I just did controlled crying with him...(well sort of ignored crying) He used to eventually just fall asleep...if I went in the room he used to kick up even more so had to just leave him and sneak in when he had gone quiet!!! Worst days/weeks/months of my life as a mum...

    It is very hard trying to decide what is best, but at the end of teh day only you can decide because it is your life and household and your rules that atter...some parents would be strict with it others allow it and it wouldn't be a problem to them??

    God sorry, I haven't helped one bit have I??

    MFD - Chris went through the seperation phase, I think I just went for the quiet life and had him in our bed whenever and the times he cried when I was leaving it was tough I gave him a hug and a kiss and left and made a fuss of him when I got back. he just grew out of it. Now I have to drag him home most of the time! :rolleyes:

    Elle I wrote my cards this morning :A I'm afraid everyone has got the bog standard " Love from S, M, C & E xxxx" coz I cba to think of stuff to say :o

  • LOL Mel - it all helps. I think sometimes you just feel a bit better for posting on here and people not slating you for it IYSWIM!!

    Part of me knows that 'he has to learn' and I take that approach in most of my parenting, for example I haven't really done much babyproofing because I would rather teach him that there are certain things that he can't touch. I also try not to chase around after him to stop him touching stuff and try to 'talk him down' without touching him. We are getting there :rolleyes:


    But when he is crying for me and all he wants is a cuddle it is very hard. Benjamin has never really been a cryer so normally his cries are easily resolved. I am just not used to this sudden dependence.

    We'll get there!


    Funny thing is - he is so well behaved for everyone else, it is only me that he is playing up and I am certain that it is because when I am there he doesn't want me to leave him :(
