Firstly, you have NOT failed your son and you have NOT let him down and you are a wonderful, loving Mum. Secondly, I do think it's time to loosen the strings a little to let him get used to being without you. It will come on its own, naturally, as he gets older, and three is still a very little boy. BUT I think it would do you both some good to be a little more independent. Just take baby steps - a little here and there. There's no...

Yeah, its your cousin's child. Like my kids to my cousins are second cousins.

if it's so bad i would be inclined to use calmoseptine. (i think that's how it's spelt), my dd had awful awful bleeding red raw chaffing under the brace when she was in it, and honestly after applying it, the next morning it wasn't red anymore. also loads of nappy free time.. maybe invest in some hydrozole? so sorry to hear bub is going through this.. sounds awful, poor love. hope it clears up soon. can you leave him...

Absolutely! I was crying yesterday - and I mean REALLY crying my eyes out because I couldn't get house clean. I was beside myself. Its exhausting, its overwhelming, it can be lonely.

I reckon this parenting thing would be a lot...

Cousin's child, or parents cousin. My mum's cousin Kevin is my second cousin. My cousin Andrew is DDs second cousin.

Disgusting behaviour. Mummabear, i would forward...

Hey Ruben, I recommend just crawling after her wherever she goes including the toilet and just climbing up her legs. I have also worked out that if you constantly harrass any dog and cat in your vicinity mums worry too much not to watch and stay within striking distance. The funniest part of this one is that if that if the dog or cat hiss/growl they get sent outside! PMSL! Hope this helps, F 9 mths
