Constant whinging and crying !

I’m losing the plot I can’t deal with anymore crying and whinging at me alllllllll day 😭😭

When my mum watches him or anyone else he seems to be fine and happy but with me he just whinges and screams at me all day I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong ☹️

I think they’re in a leap, we have this too at the moment!
Just with me, he’s fine at nursery and with anyone else😂

Omg this is my son too! He won’t even let me pass him to anyone else (including his dad) as he will scream & cry his eyes out but as soon as I leave he is fine. My parents say he is a different child when he isn’t around me😢

We’re the same. I’m actually at the end of my tether with it 😩

1 year cling, leaps, teething, separation anxiety…my sanity! This started at Christmas for us (pretty much on 1st birthday) and is still going. Getting some vague improvement in last couple weeks, but it’s still very hit and miss if I can put her down. I’m feeling so bad for my husband, he’s such a good dad, and she loves him, but she’s started crying if he comes near me and her. We think, she thinks he’s going to be taking her away from me so gets upset.

my son bawled his eyes out earlier because he saw me hugging my husband. My husband picked him up and he was hysterical until I took him out of his dad’s arms. It’s awful isn’t it, I can’t imagine how that must feel as the dads!

Yup!! We have this! It’s so draining sometimes! I was trying to do tea tonight and he was just whining and hubby has to take him out in the garden as I was struggling to concentrate after hearing it all day! 🤯

Thanks ladies honestly feels like I wrote some of these responses myself 😭😭, so hard not losing my shot when you’re hearing whinging 12 hours straight it’s enough to drive anyone else but their little smiles makes its even worse when you’re feeling burnt out ☹️

Oh my gosh! I could’ve written your post myself! My LO is the EXACT same atm. I’m going CRAZY. Unless I’m giving her my undivided attention she’s crying or whining but will happily sit content and play if my husband is watching her - it’s so draining. 😫😝 Hopefully it’ll pass soon 🤞🏼

Yes!!! So hard to make dinners as she screams the house down and is so stressful, but my mum and brother looked after her while I went out for a whole day and she only winged during a nappy change! Totally normal but doesn't make it easier in the moment

Oooh I get this too. Absolutely fine with nursery or dad or grandma, but when she’s alone with me she’s like another child. You’re not doing anything wrong, it’s a phase they go through. Hang in there, it’ll pass soon enough. Walks help on those bad days, shove them in the pram and put some earphones in.

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

My 2 year old won’t eat nothing but snacks

Is this normal ? He won’t even try anything I eat .. he really only like pizza fries and spaghetti… nuggets and snacks bananas some other fruit but like anything else he won’t eat if try but I don’t want to force him I’m just I feel like bad I mean he isn’t losing weight I breastfeed mostly still

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
