Today, I realized every time I go to take a poop, my 9 month old crawls into the bathroom and sobs at my feet. I now have to let my 9 month old sit on my lap while I shit, because I can't do it any other way. The end to all privacy has now come. FML

word. put it in a safe place and go shit alone. if you let your baby get what it wants every time you're going to have some hard years in front of you...

My daughter was the same at that age, it won't last. it's just an insecure time for them, you might notice they also are shyer with strangers and don't want to be left with anyone but parents. it's normal and all you are doing is reassuring them

kids are evil, rotten little life stealers. you're not doing it any favors by caving every time it cries.

OP, this happens because you allow it to happen. Only you can set the boundaries for your child. if you choose not to, your child will do whatever they want to. YDI

get a puppy so that way it can be a distraction to the child so you can poo in peace.

that way you can clean up after 2 animals. :D

is it weird that my cat does the same thing? she will meow and scratch at the door until I let her in and try to rub at my leg when I pee.. lol :(

105: My ferrets do too, especially if I'm upset about something.

Grow a spine! Put baby in playpen and let baby wail - won't hurt baby at all - will also teach him or her who is the boss

Just curious, are you asian? Jesus your English sucks.

well whose fault is that for having a baby, ****. huh?

Actually, you don't. I would say let the kid cry and don't reinforce this behavior. Make sure she's in a safe place (crib, playpen, someplace she won't get into trouble) and let her cry. And let her go through this and learn that she can be okay on her own without reassurance for a few moments. This is a good thing for her to learn as well as starting to get the idea of boundaries. And yes, I have always disliked what I read about attachment parenting...
