Does anyone have any experience with a toddler suddenly becoming SUPER clingy? I need reassurance that I’m not a bad father for going crazy over this.

I love my 3.5 yr old son. He’s beautiful, and the joy of my life. But he’s DRIVING ME INSANE. He’s always been a daddy’s boy ever since he’s been weened, but the last month or so he literally NEVER leaves my side when I’m at home. Like, he starts yelling my name the moment I walk out of the room (even with his mom and sisters at home as well, so it’s not like he’s scared of being alone.). He only falls asleep with me, he cries when my wife and he drop me off at work, he constantly is climbing on me, hugging me, trying to get me to carry him, - literally CONSTANTLY. I can’t use the toilet without him pounding on the door yelling for me. I try to keep him occupied so I can get stuff done around the house, but it doesn’t work. I try to give him responsibilities so he can “help” me, but that only works for a few minutes.I know this is just a phase, but I’m losing it. I love that he loves me so much, but I’m an introvert and I need space. Even from my kids. I can’t be alone in this, right? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2vmpBfw
