My daughter’s clingyness to my wife, is well documented here.
the answer is = put the time in,
the result, is still clingyness, but not on the same level,
the hard part is, putting that time in, you think yeah yeah, play with your kids, but it has to be sustained, and it has to be over a sustained period of time ! else it will not work, i’m not saying that this will be the answer always, but it helps…..
Lost in Translation, Bill Murray says ” when you have kids, your life as you know it, is over ! but then your kids grow, and learn to talk, and walk, and they just become these amazing people to be around. ” ( or something like that. )
parenting is not easy, but it is rewarding, and an experience I would not have missed out on. The responsibility is overwhelming, but the love you feel for that person, is overwhelming too !!.
