Struggling with my 2 year old boy!!
I am soooooo jealous of the moms who have little boys that listen, are chill and calm. I have an active little boy who LOVES to climb, jump off the highest surface, throw balls and just destroy things.
Recently, my 2 year old has started to pull ALL his toys and throw his stuff around when he doesn't get what he wants or we don't pay attention to him for more than 2 minutes. What am I doing wrong? What do I do because today I LOST it, in what I feel is a bad way. I'm at my wits end and hate it. It's like he doesn't listen unless I'm yelling and I don't want to be like this....I grew up in a home like that and it was like walking on eggshells.
Please give me some real constructive advice, I'm out of my element. And please don't suggest getting him tested or how these are signs of some sort of diagnosis...ita not, I know for a fact. He's just a smart, active little boy.
Has anyone had any problems with neighbours after having a baby?
My neighbour is verbally abusive, (shouting, use of profanities, etc.), stomps and bangs consistently, has told us to move, peered through my windows. The list goes on. My landlords are aware, they've warned him, they've told each of us to ignore each other, but he has only grown more comfortable. Unfortunately things always happen so quickly and im not able to record anything. Am I just supposed to live with my phone glued to me constantly recording? I have things to do and a child to care for, nor do I have the means to invest in recording devices. My child wakes up crying because he is afraid to be in his bed, it is worse now because of teething. I genuinely do my best to keep the noise brief and get him right away, but I cannot control my child. I am exhausted, discouraged and it seems as though nothing will change. The landlords will not do anything because they have no physical proof of harassment. If you have any similar experiences or have needed to take this to court, how did it go? Is it even worth it? To be completely honest im starting to feel like maybe my child is the issue or im being a terrible parent despite everyone telling me its normal.
Mum rage
I am slowly losing it. I just feel SO ANGRY and frustrated. My little one is 19 weeks and in the middle of a regression, he had a few good days sleep but now it's back to waking up every 1hr 45 mins and spending most the night fussing. He also fights his naps during the day. To be fair, even before the regression, he barely slept since he was born.
I'm starting to feel very 'over it' now. He had a few days of good sleep so I KNOW he is capable of doing it.
I'm not looking for suggestions around sleep because if I'm honest, I think he's just a bit of a FOMO baby as well lol
But I just need to know - am I the only one with mum rage at the moment???
I don't want to harm him in any way, but I do find myself wanting to smash something when he's scream crying all damn day.
(vent over 😂)
