Please read the entire fact pattern before answering.
I just decided to drop out of law school to be a stay-at-home mom to my 1yo daughter. She was in day care with about 6 or 7 other kids, and she was always fine there. Now she's home with me and it's like she became the devil child. She is constantly screaming, begging to be held, needing attention from me around the clock. At first I thought it was teething, so I treated with tylenol.. that made no difference, so I stopped. Literally, she spends 70% of every day just screaming. I am trying not to spoil her, so I won't pick her up... I'll stand next to her and hug her, but I won't pick her up. Of course, that only makes her more angry, but I don't want to make the situation worse in the long-term.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have suggestions about how to handle this? It's been going on for about 3 weeks now.
