Yesterday i hid in my walkin closet for 30 mins with a bottle of wine. My 2 year old doesn't listen and is very clingy . I'm a first time mom and single mom. She cries all the time when we go out and throws tantrums. So i never want to take her out in public. So we are stuck in the house. Maybe i catch her on a good day but that is rare. I miss my sweet angel baby. Now i dread coming home from work because she is always getting into things,cryin, not listening, throwing tantrums , or super clingy. Im 1000% over stimulated. Has anyone dealt with this?

My 1 year old does that

Yes I have , my 3yo daughter has had tantrums since she was 1yo now she’s 3 going to be 4 . It’s just the toddler stage as they call it it does exist trust me ! I know it’s overwhelming all you can do hold her maybe she feels neglected with girls they feel like that . With my daughter even now I don’t like going anywhere also and even at Wic appointments especially she still throws tantrums but I do spank her and I tell her no a lot , she just started talking to where now I can understand her . Your daughter is 2? Throwing tantrums I wanna say the tantrums probably won’t go away until maybe she’s 5 then they become different like talking back , since she’s so small now she can’t speak yet so her emotions are all over the place , all u can do I still talk to her nice play with her with toys bribe her give her lollipops I’m not a fan of candy but the lollipops do help and I’m in the middle of potty training I will tell you it gets better love that baby because she loves you 💜

I know it can be overwhelming but please make sure your daughter is safe. 30 mins seems like a lot. Especially children at the age they will get into anything. My 21 month old is also very clingy and wants to be held most of the time. It helps when we sit down on the floor and just start playing (legos , reading books play dough etc). I hope it gets easier for you ♥️

I think all toddlers are like this, not that it makes it any easier. I definitely get over stimulated. There are lots of books and social media accounts on toddler behavior and managing it all. You might find some tips you can try.

its tough. My mental health is declining so much because we cant even go out. It all started when she was 2. Before that we were always out having fun just her and I. She'll be 3 in November

its really not 30. And she is safe. Thank you for your concern
