Toddler

I need help man… I have a 3 year and a 3 month old. My toddler has been whining, crying, screaming, yelling, not sharing with other kids, not eating and he will literally starve, he attacks his cousin or a friend of his that I watch because they touch his toys when he’s playing with another. Always fighting with the other kids. Talking back, saying no to when I tell him to do things. Sighs. I hate to say it but he’s HORRIBLE. As soon as the day starts he’s already on something . I’m tired of it. I’m tired of yelling at him. I’m tired of always getting angry. And what sucks YES SUCKS. Is that I’m doing gentle parenting, he’s sooo close to seeing how my ancestors did things because I’m so fed up. Does he need therapy? Is there something wrong with him?

There is definitely something wrong with him. Do not listen to these other comments. I'm actually dealing with the same situation, he turned 3 last week and has a 23 month old sister and we have a newborn coming this week too. Anyways, my family has a documented VAERS case (v@x injury) and my son had an adverse reaction at 4 months old and had a total regression and no progress with any skills at all for two years, but he was not diagnosed with autism or ADHD. My son can be agressive and never listens. This is not normal toddler behavior to NEVER listen and have meltdowns that last 30-60+ minutes and constant whining. On the other hand, our daughter has never disobeyed ever I'm not even joking she is also extremely advanced and is globally advanced/has synchronous advanced development which is very rare. My son had GDD which is the opposite a total global delay. We cut sugars from his diet, sans fruit, don't use toxic chemicals or products, I make everything from home and use organic

I agree with the unhealthy chidrwn bit and food, sleep and environment has a lot to do with behavior. I find if my tone is off or im anticipating a shitty day qith shitty attitude then its worse but if i go nope thats not happing then we usually do fine he will whine and ill ask y then i will say something like just ask 🤷‍♀️ or nope we arwnt doing that today snd we will go play.
When i brought my now 10m old home it was a few months before he got the hang of it and it took alot of patience, no screens, lots of one on one time, outside time, and good meals no more snacks.
I found he was feeling left out and replaced and wasnt eating adequately with alot of screen time (was with gma for 2 weeks)

Going from 2-3, Help! 😩

My 2 step-daughters live with us full time, and have done for nearly 5 years. We now have our 4week old baby boy and I'm really struggling with how a routine will ever come into place.

I had a C-section so have not been doing many of the school runs as I'm unable to drive. My mum has been living with us during the week to help as my partner had to go back to work 4 days after bringing baby home.

We are getting closer to the time my mum won't be here to help and I'll be doing all of the school runs (and all other things that come with being a mum and running a house) and I do not know how I'm going to get out the door at 8am - let alone keep everyone organised and settled.

Parenting isn't new to me but being a mummy to a new born baby is so I feel a little lost.

Any advice welcome!

Day festival with 6 month old

Me and my partner are taking my 6 month old to a local day festival... Initially planned to come home early evening but now wondering whether to stick out till after the main headline act so my partner can see. Is this a stupid idea with a young baby? My frienfs are camping near to main area and so can take baby back there for naps plus most of the day will be spent in kids field. Thoughts / advice welcome. I would then drive home late evening.

Unreasonable to be annoyed at this??

So me and my boyfriend have been together 6 months and is it a bit shitty that we have only been for dinner once? And not really been anywhere on a day out. Alls he does is work, a lot. Which I like in a man but he works 60 hours a week and always says he has no money. But I just would love to get dressed up a night and I love going for dinner/going on adventures etc but he just works and sleeps 🙈 I don’t even ever think we’ve went for lunch. I have a 6 year old daughter and only get 2 nights a week free so would be nice to actually go somewhere or do somethin. It’s always me askin go do stuff and he’s just like “yeah come round to mine” and we just sit and watch tv 🙈

Nursery help/advice

I am a first time mum and want the best for my little girl, she is incredibly smart and she’s almost 2, she knows colours counts to ten sings songs, she’s very clever, I applied for nursery 9-3 but they don’t have that available they have 1-6:30 but her bath and bed routine starts at 5:30 she’s in bed by 6:45, I originally was going to look at a part time job in the 9-3 hours but that wouldn’t work as she would be picked up at 4:30 to get home and settled for bed! I am looking for advice is it worth her going at 2, did anyone have a child that went at 3 and 2 and what was the difference? I am a stuck mummy because of course i want her home but i also want the best but before this new funding came in, children went at 3 unless you paid for it? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED 🫣
