[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it odd that many are telling the OP she needs therapy when the desire to take care of your own baby/infant/toddler is probably more normal and basic than the desire to have someone else do it.[/quote]

But OP isn’t talking about her desire or need to care for her own baby.  She’s talking about being afraid something will happen to him if she isn’t with him.  That’s definitely something she needs to get over or it’s going to screw up her kid.  [/quote]

Exactly.  And it causes problems down the road.  The kids eventually start resenting the mom.  My own mother was like this.  Would talk about how she didn’t want “strangers” raising her kids.  Looking back, she had extreme anxiety and I would have greatly benefited from my mom having a life outside of just taking care of me.  I feel very bad for her that she didn’t have anyone to tell her this or encourage her to get a life. It also wasn’t good for me to be so sheltered and isolated.  [/quote]
