Pushing boundaries

It’s been a really long tough day and I need to talk about it. My son has just turned 15 months and is pushing boundaries all day. Saying no doesn’t work which is fair, he’s still little so I have to physically remove him from the situation. That then leads to a full on meltdown with screaming and arms flapping. It’s been a full on day of he repeatedly doing things he probably shouldn’t. I’ve had to pick my battles and if I don’t want him doing it but it’s just an inconvenience not a safety thing then I have just let him do it (eg. splashing in the dogs water bowl) because I don’t have it in me today. I’m also 11 weeks pregnant so very hormonal and tired which isn’t helping but I just feel like I’m at my wits end with it. He’s also very tired today which I don’t think is helping either, I had to wake him up from his nap earlier because otherwise he wouldn’t sleep tonight. I feel bad saying it but I can’t wait for him to go to nursery tomorrow just so I can have a day where he’s not screaming at me. I feel so guilty that I’m struggling this much with it all at the moment

Don’t feel guilty at all! We all need time away from our LO even though we love them to bits. I can’t wait sometimes for mine to go to nursery or bed for the evening and I’m not even 11 weeks pregnant! 😂 He’s also starting throwing tantrums which I wasn’t expecting until he turned 2! The heat won’t have helped with his mood either. Honestly just put him to bed and enjoy your (hopefully) peaceful evening - you deserve it after the day you’ve had!
