Is it normal to want your kids wiith you all the time

Almost all mothers feel that way, but in the best interests of their children, they are able to put aside their own fears and anxieties to do what is best for helping their children learn how to handle themselves without the presence of their mommy.

Don't worry,soon enough you will have the chance to know exactly where they are and what they are up to every time you want.I would like to know how they perceive the situation tho.

it's normal but you have to make sure your children don't get bothered with that ^^

I'm like this too but I'm a single dad. I love being with my little girl who is 5 and wish we could be together 24/7 too. I understand your anxiety - nowadays with so many bad people around it's hard to trust anyone and it's a cruel world out there. I think I'm this way because my parents never had time for me or showed interest in me. I know I'm overcompensating but we have so much fun together that I hate being far from her.

I don't have children but, if I did, I know I'd find it really difficult to trust someone else with them. I hope I'd get over it, though.

Really depends on how old they are. Infants, yes. Toddlers, sure as long as they get to socialize with other kids. Children, need school. Teens, need to be given some independence so they are not unprepared for the real world. But it's normal for u o always know that they are safe. Just don't smother them and let them know u trust them as they get older. They will appreciate once they are parents, maybe long before.

it is normal to feel this way... however

with in reason... you should back off a LITTLE.

here's why.

the interpersonal relationships in the future will reflect if they are smothered, mothered, or pushed out of the nest. you want to be right in the middle.

studies show that adults who were raised too close ( i know is their such a thing... these days it should be like that but you know)
to a parent figure, will develope unhealthy relationships as adults and may rely and morph into one identity with whomever they date.

studies also have discovered that people whom have a very difficult time getting over ex's were the same children that were raised very under the wing.

just do moderation. promote playdates and... i promise life can be happy, nothing bad has to happen for life to seem real. what i mean is that in reality your children can go to a playdate and not get hurt.

my mother always feared the worst i was an only child and her only offspring she sheltered be, it was so unfair to enter the world as an adult and not know pain, emotional pain, or Fun. All i knew was her, and for along time i could not even pay my bills or clean my house unless she was in a 10 foot radious. i was capable but didn't have the urge to face obstacles alone. before that in school i didn't make friends, mommy was my best friend, and she would say " they are just jealous " NO NO had developed into this anti-social kid who thought there was no need for social interaction...

i know your a great mother or else you wouldn't be concerned. your not being selfish, just remember your role is protector but also teacher to prepare them for what is ahead with or with out you.

It wouldn't be normal if you didn't feel that way.

Its totally normal. My daughter is with me 24/7. I do not feel comfortable leaving her with anyone. Especially the in-laws!!
