Wat the……?? Haha..tat’s a pretty huge word for some people…
I know I have never come across tat word before I had Dylan….
According to emedicinehealth.com, separation anxiety is a fairly common anxiety disorder that affects children and young adolescents. This anxiety results from separation or impending separation from the child’s attachment figure, for example, the primary caregiver or close family member.
Notice that the definition says that its fairly common and that it affects children. In my case, however, I think I am THE one feeling separation anxiety every time I am away from Dylan. It’s terrible. And the feeling intensifies especially if I have spent more than one full whole day with Dylan. For instance, during the weekends, I would usually spend time throughout the whole weekend playing with Dylan, sleeping with him, feeding him, bathing him, and all. So when Monday comes, I’ll feel really sad and misses him terribly much more than I would during my week days when I go to work.
Dylan has not displayed any signs of separation anxiety from me yet…nope…but I am growing increasingly worried that he might possibly feel that from my maid instead….
She spends so much time with him as compared to me….perhaps this is my maternal instincts acting up...i really don’t know….i must admit that I do feel jealous and veree heart broken whenever I see her carrying or playing with my son….but I am also unhappy with my maid sometimes….when I am spending my time with my kid, she’ll stand right there, calling him too and trying to get his attention…so when I am playing with my son, she’ll be at the corner calling his name….every time she walks by us, she’ll be calling his name….it’s been happening for a while now…I really do not like it…but I do not want to say anything to her…cos I am afraid she may take it the wrong way…
It’s getting harder now, cos my son now laughs when she plays with him…and he doesn’t laugh as often when we do….i really do hate the situation I am in….it’s starting to eat me up....ahhhhh…..i really am doubting my parenting skill…sigh……
