@Hannah I’m soo sorry you’re going through the same 😞 honestly I had to literally take my toddler upstairs and give him an early nap because I would have literally had a breakdown. I’m soo over being the ‘angry’ parent and I just want my happy child back but my goodness these times are awful. I’d gladly have 2 newborns that deal with a toddler 🥲
I totally understand you, they are not terrible 2 just in name. When I find I'm really angry I say to him he's "grounded" literally let him sit in the bottom step of the stairs until he calms down. If I find I've raised my voice too much I apologise later on and explain that mum was angry because I'm tired. But I try not to raise the voice in general as he mimics me so if I shout he shouts and then we both explode and my partner has to step in and taking him away. Only thing you can do I breathe and if you can take a you time alone, no kids, no partner, just yourself enjoying peace and quiet❤️
Toddlers are Wild, feral. Don’t hate yourself to much. Try different tactics. But. Some days are just hard and toddlers can be little arseholes
You're absolutely not alone, I'm in the same boat though with an almost 5 year old who has the attitude of a moody teenager at the moment.
I feel your pain I have twin boys but luckily only one of them is a absolute terror, it’s like something has just clicked in his brain, every thing is ‘no’ he’s constantly moody, hits his brother for no reason, I have a 15 month old daughter to and today he wouldn’t share with her so I told him off and his reply to me was ‘ mummy enough of your attitude’ I thought what the actual hell your 2 and your telling me you’ve had enough 😂😂
Same here. I'm ready to pack my bags and leave to be honest! I'm fucking done ✔️ 🙃
You’re not alone! I’m feeling exactly the same at the moment with my toddler, I feel like a terrible mum every time I lose my temper but I’m just so exhausted by it all. I’m also looking after an 8 month old who is now on the move, hates when I leave a room and is still waking up multiple times a night so I’m struggling. Whoever said the newborn stage was the hardest was a huge liar!
