simka2 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I want to scream!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm better!!! We have an open floor plan, but no matter where I go the older 3 follow. I can be in the living room...they bring their subjects to the coffee table. If I move to the dining room for coffee...their next subject will be done there. I head into the kitchen to begin cleaning ....... poof! they magically appear. Today I told them to get out and let me clean....the dining room is 5ft away. Ugggghhh.....their like puppies! They follow me everywhere!!! Vent done. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaPagnato Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oh goodness, same here! Why do they always want to be near me? I couldn't WAIT to get away from my mom each day!! Not that I want them to feel like that, of course, but the smothering can be too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalGal Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 OK -- I thought this only happened at my house. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 My mom wonders how I ever get anything done with them always under foot. I think things have gotten a lot better. My youngest is now 5. I can escape to the bathroom and close the door, and am not able to have the door STAY closed (except for the cat :glare:). :D Yesterday I escaped to my bed in the afternoon for a bit of quiet reading. (Honestly, though I agreed to let them watch a movie.) :D Every afternoon my house is quiet for a minimum of 30 minutes and I have a cup of tea by myself. :D I take it where I can get it, and am very grateful they flock towards me rather than run away screaming. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I thought I was through those days at my house. Nope, the dog follows me everywhere. Seriously, she is 6 and hates to be further than 5 ft from me. She is like a toddler and will stick her nose under my hand while it's on the mouse. She'll bark if I ignore her too long.

joannqn Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 My younger two follow me. I LOVE that we finally have more than one bathroom because I can now go to my bathroom and lock the door. I usually go and read for ten minutes or so. I also get ever Monday evening off from about 6:30 to about 10:30pm. I leave the house to go to a support group so they can't follow me there. The same group has two four-day retreats a year that I attend (though I take kids under the age of 2 with me). It keeps me sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Happens here too. I have no sactuary. It also means I never have a completely clean, relaxing space. There are always school books, crafts in progress, computers, snuggies, etc. not to mention an entire menagerie of pets that must be where the people are.

Gratia271 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I take it where I can get it, and am very grateful they flock towards me rather than run away screaming. :lol: :iagree: There are days when I really need solitude, though.
