WFH full-time with infant and wondering what age did your toddler “get hard”. Think, loud tantrums.

Mine stayed home until about 2.5 years old but it got very difficult between about a year and a half on. I ended up needing a part time nanny to come over for a few hours each day.

I think it depends on the child, I find the time from when they start crawling up until about 18 months old when they stop running away the hardest, after that it’s all fine.
At least that was the case with my first child and I’m finding it to be the case with my second who’s about to turn 1 as well

1.5 was hard. The terrible twos kicked in at that point. We were good then tantrums kicked into overdrive. Lots of deep breaths and learning about regulation. We tried daycare for awhile. I feel like she did better when she was with me full time.

Does your work allow you to be looking after a child when working? A lot of contracts don't.

I say send her to care for the sake of your mental health, your career and your financial situation, that is, unless you don't NEED the money.

Once they learn to walk and run and realize that they are fully separate from you and have their own free will, it is abolute Hell trying to work while caring for them.

It got rly hard at 3 cause she could talk, ask for snacks, want pretend play all the time.

Honestly my second has been hard from day 1 my eldest has her moments at 2.5.
