So ever since I’ve had my son I’ve been very clingy with him. I don’t like other people holding him except for my bf. I don’t like leaving him with his grandmother even tho my bf insists sometimes so we can have an easier car ride and a little free time but I don’t mind dealing with the trouble.
Am I wrong for never wanting to be without my son or is that something I should work on.
(Side note) I’m a stay at home mom

Its normal. I didn't let anyone even watch her for 15 minutes until she was 3-4 months and I had to go back to work. I'm a SAHM mom now and I get anxious being away from her. It's been over a year and we are both extremely attached to each other.

I understand completely but just know that it’s healthy for baby to have time away from you with others as well. My mom friend has a 4 year old and she’s never left him and it shows. He’s afraid of everyone and everything that’s not his mom. He has speech delays and doesn’t know how to interact with other children. It’s also really impacted her marriage because she won’t pay any attention to her husband as her son always “comes first”. Her and her son are actually just codependent of each other. There comes a point where it’s not healthy if it’s too extreme. So at some point you’ll need to let go a bit, but you’ve got some time. 😊 My children have loved spending time with their grandparents from a very young age. It’s healthy for them and healthy for my husband and I to have alone time as a couple. 😊

Totally normal!!!! I’m STILL like that lol!! You grew that baby from nothing! My in laws ask to have her sleep over about every other weekend (I know I should be grateful) But I just don’t want to share her sometimes haha

Don’t let your BF or MIL/MOM make you feel like you’re overbearing. You’re supposed to be. Not only that, your baby is ONLY 2 months old. Being a SAHM has nothing to do with it. You didn’t have your baby to dump off with his mom and that’s something that he needs to understand. He’s a dad now, get over the crying in the car. It’s going to happen a lot. Again, he’s 2 months old. You and your boyfriend are the only people that need to be establishing themselves with your child.
Do what you see fit mama. Can ANYONE give op a good reason why she needs to work on separating herself from her child? Your mommy bear hormones are still full swing. Your baby needs you. And you need to know that you’re doing an AMAZING job.

I completely relate to this, the only people I’m comfortable with leaving my baby with are my mom and siblings. Now that he goes to his dads house on the weekends without me it has been really hard to adjust to. Especially when I was staying home 24/7, that connection was even stronger. Working gets my mind off things but you should definitely cherish all the time you get to spend with him, you’re gonna miss when he was this little and loved spending all his time with you 😭😭
