What is WRONG with me?????
Tonight as I was ready to leave for work, DD was sitting on DH's lap relaxing before bed. I was cleaning up her toys and she started saying/whining/crying "I want my Mommy, I want my Mommy". So I took her from DH and said to her "Want to go night night?" and put her into bed. She laid down and went to sleep, but why didn't I just sit and hold/love her for a minute or two before I whisked her off to bed. She never wants me to hold or cuddle her during the day, and here she was asking for me and I put her to bed. I'm just sitting here at work thinking about it and just wanting to cry. I'm thinking that I have subconsciously scarred her little psyche indefinately.

You didn't scar her psyche. She drifted to sleep thinking of the last person who held her.

Thanks Barb. You always know how to make a new mom feel good. Now at least I'm crying happy tears!

You certainly did not scar her. I would have done the same thing. Lily never wants to cuddle, so I probably would not have thought of doing that until she was in bed too. I agree with Barb - I bet you did the right thing. Going to bed was probably exactly what she needed/wanted.

Barbara hit it right on nose. Her last thoughts were of her mommy.

Re: What is WRONG with me?????
Thanks so much ladies for making me feel better. I wanted to go to daycare today just to hug her, but after reading your replies, I left her alone -- didn't want to upset her day and cause her even more damage. Thanks again.

Cailen's favorite thing in the WHOLE world is to go to sleep when I hold him. You were who she wanted to settle her down and put to sleep. That is total love and security!!!
