I've done something I very rarely do and dropped my toddler off at my mum's for an hour to go and have a coffee alone. Sleep regression and teething and my periods due is turning me into a pressure cooker of anger atm. It's at the point where we're having 5+ tantrums before breakfast nowadays. One because he doesn't want his morning nappy changed and dressed for the day. Then he doesn't want daddy to go for a shower, he wants him to read books with him. Then because he wants to go downstairs while I'm trying to get dressed and quickly do my hair...then because I wouldn't let him watch teletubbies...then because I said he can't go outside into the wet garden with no jumper or shoes and socks...šš
I am... exhausted....
I use half an hour of teletubbies most mornings to allow myself peace to get the cleaning up and prep for the day done but I think I'll have to just say no TV at all anymore because of his behaviour over it. When does it get a tiny bit easier or have I just got an angry little boy....

I can go by my niece who is now a sweet 5 year old girl but was a real trouble before that. I remember it got better by 2 years, worse at 3 and then again better at 4 and onwards. Itās a hard stage I have in front of me as well. You are doing a great job it gets better

You got this! I know itās super overwhelming, Iām glad you have your mom to help support you so you can get some time to just be. Itās super important! š I found that with my 2 year old son looking at a screen doesnāt work it makes him super frustrated and he just wants to watch more and more and then gets angry⦠so Iāve completely stopped and not letting him watch anything anymore. Iād highly suggest and recommend to get him a yoto player! My son absolutely loves it and itās so wonderful he gets to choose the story or songs we listen to and he feels a bit āin controlā and actually just sits and listens or have it on whilst playing. ā¤ļø
