Yup, you just run out of explanations to Why? Why? Why? But whhhhhhhhhhhhy????? BECAUSE I SAID SO!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-799103 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:13:46 +0000 HLK208 799103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: hahaha I told myself I would never say "because I said so"...it's been said. Sometimes, you can explain things over and over again and there is nothing left to be said other than that phrase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-799079 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:01:19 +0000 banana 799079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: SO tiring! Actually, the older they get the more mentally tiring it is. I admit I've used "Because you have to and I said so!" a little more than I'd like. Some things just don't HAVE a good reason. Like why he can't go to school wearing his undies OVER his pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-799058 Tue, 21 May 2013 18:51:12 +0000 Andrea 799058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: exactly exactly exactly. So tiring!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-799002 Tue, 21 May 2013 18:35:35 +0000 banana 799002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @mrs.bee: @boogiebea: @HLK208: When they're younger, they're needy because they can not do things for themselves. But once they hit the toddler/preschool age, they CAN do it for themselves but just seem to don't WANT to! That's almost worse! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798906 Tue, 21 May 2013 17:54:35 +0000 StbHisMrs 798906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, she's 19 months and attached to my hip. I can't go anywhere or do anything without tripping over her! Then there's the whole sleep issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798805 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:49:59 +0000 HLK208 798805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I agree! 3 = so needy!</p> <p>We are at the start of 4 and he's still pretty needy. There was a short break between 18 months to 2.5 where he wasn't as needy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798794 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:42:11 +0000 BoogieBea 798794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both compete to be needy now. They're almost 4 and almost 2.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: @banana: @Andrea: I'm hoping they will magically mature out of this phase at 4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798786 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:38:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 798786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far right now (9m) especially the past few weeks. Up every few hours all night, panic-crying when I'm out of his eyesight, getting hysterical until I pick him up and then hysterical when I set him down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798785 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:38:46 +0000 brownie 798785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 years old. Ugh, he can do so much for himself but he doesn't want to. He also doesn't want to be away from both me and my husband. So we both have to put him to bed and both have to have dinner etc. It is so trying to always be on. Sometimes I want my down time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798775 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:35:57 +0000 Andrea 798775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: @banana: ditto!!!! Omg, I was worried that it was just my kid!! Throw in a new sibling/jealousy and she is soooooooo needy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798288 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:34:00 +0000 banana 798288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Same! My 3 year old is a lot needier than my 10 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798284 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:32:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 798284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm 3+? haha? seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-798282 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:32:12 +0000 googly-eyes 798282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Newborn but she's only 8 months now! She just was very fussy as a newborn, couldn't go anywhere! Hopefully it won't be too bad after hitting a year.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-797509 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:23:56 +0000 Maysprout 797509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Yeah I think that's why that age is so much work. They want to do so much but still need a lot of help to do everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-797030 Tue, 21 May 2013 07:23:15 +0000 heffalump 797030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-17 months. That was the time that LO *could* walk but she was too scared to, so she always had to hold someone's hand. And she always wanted to walk. So we were constantly walking around with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-was-your-lo-most-needy#post-797012 Tue, 21 May 2013 07:06:04 +0000 Maysprout 797012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Newborns have a lot of needs, especially at night but I think for LO the most needy she got was around 14-16 months. </p> <p>I remember thinking this is so much harder than when she was a newborn. She was getting numerous teeth in at once so waking all the time, could play short periods by herself but they were pretty short, she still needed me to do most things for her and there was a lot more she wanted to try to do so it took a lot more effort on my part, and she was so dangerous with trying to pull down and climb on everything. Now she's almost 2 I keep looking at all the skills and (some) sense she acquired and think whew, it makes life so much easier. </p> <p>When was your LO the most needy so far? </p>
