I agree that Im doing no favors to them by letting them be so dependant on me too!! When I got them, I needed them WAYYY more than they needed me! I was going through a break up from my fiance of 10 years, I just sold my house that we bought together and bought my own house. having never lived alone in my life and being a very outgoing person I was lonely! I got my boys and depended solely on them for company and some relief from my sadness. Now they are very needy, clingy and dependant on me! I wish I didnt do that to them, but whats done is done! I adore them and I don't mind that they need me, but I feel bad leaving them for a week!
I know my little one will be just fine, he forgets about me after 10 mins! But my bigger boy is a little OCD. Hes neurotic and paces when Im gone. he will not take it well at all! My bf will be out of his mind for the first day at least! HAHAHAHA
