Most of the time Sophie wants me, I work at home and care for her so I am always around. Usually when we visits grandparents she is excited and will go to them but usually is fine with me at the same time.
The other day my sister came to visit and Sophie just completely disowned me, screamed if I picked her up, clinging to my sister, went to her for everything. To an onlooker it really would not appear that I am her Mum. After my sister had left, Sophie was still hitting me and getting cross with me.
Today we went to a baby group, we have been going for about ten weeks now, its one where parents stay and only lasts about 1hr 30. At the end she sat on the leaders knee for story time, and then after she did that she started to 'reject' me again, wanted them and cried when it was time to go home and I had to take her away.
I know that at this time she will be trying to test me with boundaries and asserting her own independence. Really not looking forward to the terrible two's with her I can tell you! But I am not used to it because Chloe was at nursery full time and so I never experienced it with her.
Is it completely normal - the rejection? Any tips or do I just laugh it off and suck it up?!
