rant.

This is why I go outside. I cannot bear sitting in watching him trash the place. 😂 Soft play/playground/library/football/swimming/gymnastics/farm - whatever lets him get all that energy out so he’s nice and knackered for his nap!

I'm with Sharon. We are outside almost all the time. Even if we are just aimless strolling up and down the streets 😁
We have being to every play area around. Any restaurant, gym, centre, anything with child area, we are there even if we aren't buying anything. Just keep switching up activities. That would tire them out.

I got my son a water tray that I can set up outside or inside. But most of the time he chooses to be outside no matter the weather. Trying to get him inside I feels like a full on negotiation I rarely win. But I did notice that the more water play he did, the less frantic his behaviour was.

I have also swallowed my pride and stopped telling myself that I have to do everything alone. So I’m looking into a nursery placement for 2 afternoons a week so my son can play with children his own age.

I am here for you if you wanted to message me. One single mum supporting another x
