momma's girl

Av is still a momma’s girl. Instead of it getting better it is just getting worse. It is frustrating to John. The whole time he has her and they are having fun together she sporadically says, “momma.” It makes him sad. It is just as frustrating for me though. If John tries to let me sleep in on a Sat or Sun she is upset the whole time and just wants me. Then I feel guilty when I hear her and can’t get the extra rest I need. Yesterday when we got home from the lake I got her dinner ready first. John sat down to keep her company while she ate but the whole time she was whining because I was not sitting down with her. I know I need to just take the time to sit down with her when she needs it, but it is hard. We had spent the whole weekend having fun but then last night I needed to get a lot done so we could start our week. Dinner needed made, lunches needed packed, both girls needed their bags packed for camp the next day, Camille needed milk defrosted and made into bottles, I had to get my pump stuff together and all the leftover food from the weekend needed put away. I keep reminding myself though embrace this time because soon she will be 13 and want nothing to do with me.
