[quote=Anonymous]16 months is a particularly clingy age. Please don't doubt your parenting abilities, particularly in these times - the changes to the social environment are harder on toddlers than most people realize, so they are craving any sort of physical or social interaction even more than normal. Of course it's going to drive you crazy. Is there any way you can leave for a weekend and have your DH spend a couple days solo with the kid? Partly to give you a break, but also to reset the relationships so that you aren't automatically the subject of your son's desire for human touch. It'll be hard on both of them, but better for all of you in the long run. Your son needs to know that you aren't the only person in the world who can care for him. Other than that, just take it one day at a time. It will get easier as he gets older. Like every phase, this too shall pass.[/quote]
