Theres' this 1 year old baby that's living in the same house as me. He keeps on wanting his mom and can't stay a 15 minutes away from her without crying. He can't stay 1 minute on the floor without touching anything around him that he sees. He eats and drinks alot. Whenever he sees someone eating something or food around, he wants it and if you don't give it to him he keeps crying. He'll hit any1 that carries him that is not his mom for dad. He's scared of people wearing sunglasses, and he cries when a room is dark. He puts his feet up on the dinner table. When he's eating at dinner, he crawls around and pulls on the shades, or he grabs a chair and starts using it to help him walk which makes a screeching noise on the floor. And if you take the chair away he cries. Almost anything he touches, he'll smack it around or throw it. When you yell at him or hit his hands, he thinks you're playing a game and starts laughing. Whatever he wants, he cries until you give it too him.

Don't feel stupid, coz u didn't know so it's ok since now u know

No, that's just a normal baby. Annoying babies are waaay worse than that!
Seriously, have patience. You did all of those things once, too. I have learned that babies need patience and love, not anger and hand-slapping. If you meet his needs with love and smiles, you will be rewarded. Just mellow out about his behavior. You might as well--there's no way to change his behavior. It makes more sense for you to change your perception of his behavior.
Go buy some tennis balls, cut and X in each one with a razor blade and put them on the chair feet.
Pull the shades up so he can't reach them (wrap up the string so he can't get it).
Don't leave anything on the floor unless he can play with it.
When you get yourself a snack, get extra for the baby.
Put light-sensing nightlights in the living room, hallways and kitchen.
When he hits you, put him down and stop giving him your attention for a moment.
Don't wear sunglasses indoors (duh, right?).
Don't sweat it when he puts his feet on the table. Make it into a game with him. "Eeew, get those stinky feet off the table!" Get really silly with it. Act like you're going to put your feet on his high chair tray.
Don't smack his hand anymore. It's not working, so try something else. It's OK to read a parenting book, even though you're not a parent. I really like anything by William Sears or Elizabeth Pantley. Vickie Iovine has a funny book called The Girlfriend's Guide to the Toddler Years. It's short and easy to read, and it will help you to get inside the little one's head a little bit.
The mother has to respect you? You can take action against her? You got nothin'. Just love that baby like he's a relative, and that behavior will become cute instead of annoying. Also, with age will come more patience. I can tell you're still a kid, so just pray for patience, baby.

I'm not seeing a question here, but I bet you were just like or very similar to this baby. That's how we all learned and how we got to where we learn about life-- eating, what limits are, what is or isn't allowed, what's really scary and what isn't. So I doubt this is the most annoying baby ever. It was probably you. So just gently and peacefully help this child grow and develop into a health, happy, well-adjusted, kind, caring, loving person.
Stop hitting the child's hands. That type of behavior by an adult is no longer acceptable

Sounds perfectly normal to me. I have an 11 month old and I think he is so much fun!
As for hitting his hands, a baby that young will not yet undestand that type of discipline. As an adult, we have to distract them from bad behaviour by showing them good behavior. And some thimgs we just have to let slide until they are old enough to learn better.
But if you feel that way, you need to move out and NEVER have kids of your own. Please go now and have your tubes tied if you are female... or have a vasectomy if you are male. If you think all of those things are "annoying" then you will make a horrid parent and I would fear for your children.

Have you been around many one year olds? This is the normal acting of a one year old. Also smacking their hands is not good for them its proven to cause arthritis and carpal tunnel in their hands later in life. Get use to it... this is how all babies are. This is how they are suppose to be.

Sadly, that just sounds like a baby.. not neccessarily an annoying one. Babies are babies. He may have an issue with parent-clinging, but most one year olds do.

That sounds exactly like my adorable 1 year old! She loves sunglasses though.

This is normal for a baby. Our youngest is 12 months old- and she will not be without me. If I am here, she is with me. Our son's were the same way- it's a bond. It is healthy.
Why in God's name are you slapping his hands?????

Sounds like a normal kid to me. One year olds are curious and some have separation anxiety

I have a nine month baby... you have just described him to the "t"! Thats just how babies are.... I guess you can appreciate their behaviors more if you are the parent of the child.
