No patience

So I feel like the world's worst mum! Payton is really a good girl I have never really had problems with her. She is still a good girl.... 90% of the time. But let me tell you the other 10% is a completly different girl!!! She is getting so bad to take in the car she HATES her car seat!! I know I shouldn't complain about this but I must... Payton is getting so CLINGY to me!!! I know I sound like a bad mum saying my daughter is clingy! But she doesn't really want me to hold her or cuddle her. She just wants me to sit on the couch and do nothing at all. She will play with her toys and be super happy!! But as soon as I get up to do anything I mean even moving a little to get the remote she freaks out!! Starts crying like I am going to leave her. So I hold her for about 2.5 sec and she wants to go play again and me to just sit there!! I can't get anything done!! And I feel so bad because lately I just don't have the patience for it. If she starts to cry we just put her on her chair and let her cry.. the crying only last about 5 sec but it's 5 sec crying then 5 minutes of being fine then 5 sec of crying. Sorry this post I am venting but I very much dislike that when payton is doing something she is not suppose to I tell her no.. then she goes to do it again and I usually grab her hand and tell her no... then she goes to do it again I ended up slapping her hand and telling her no and she still LAUGHS about it!! But as soon as Tyler says "Payton NO!" she starts bawling! I hate that I have to smack her hand and all Tyler has to do is tell her no! Totally not fair but all in all she is still a very good girl I think I have just had a rough week!
Here is a pic of the little one

  1. I know that there's probably not a whole lot that will make you feel better, but I promise it WILL get better. I think some kids will always be clingier than others, but I really believe things will get easier. I remember all too well how Ella would FREAK if I was 3 ft away from her. Even when she turned 2. If I went upstairs to put something away she would completely flip out. But the more she matured, and the more she started to understand the easier it started getting for her. She's still clingy, but she doesn't scream anymore when I go upstairs. We took baby steps. I would put something of hers in the other room intentionally and ask her to get it for me...just to try to get her to walk 10 ft away from me. When we would go to family parties, and all the cousins would be playing downstairs she could never do it. I honestly thought she would never go play, and just stay attached to my hip, but recently she has. She's gone all by herself. Just hang in their Heather. You're not bad mom, just because you want to be able to function normally within your home!
