he is just so so difficult. sometimes i could really scream at him. He doesn't sleep in the day so i don't ever get a break and i have three other children so can't afford to go back to work. He is wilful, loud..a normal toddler but worse. sometimes i don't like him and would gladly give him away sad

I never thought i would feel like this about him, poor little boy.
With all my heart I love him but I don't know how longer myself or the rest of the family can cope with him sad

Oh believe me you are not alone in feeling this! My ds is only 9 months and already I'm losig my patience. It's so tiring when they are just so much hard work!

How old id your ds? Has he always been difficult or is there something bothering him?

Please don't feel guilty, we've all been there and that's without the other three children added into the equation!

Thanks meand my joe, forgot to say he is 17 months. I know I am not alone. I guess his teeth are coming through-just feel he is particularly hard!!

<<sympathies>>igglepiggle, not much comfort I know, but it WILL get better. But in the meantime is there anyone who can help out a bit to give you a break? what about a toddler group? we found at that age ds suddenly went a bit nuts and we eventually realised it was because he needed more physical exercise. I bet you've tried it already, but have you tried really really wearing him out? Even just going for a long walk with him toddling beside you, or to the park with the others and keeping him on his feet all the time, to burn off some of that excess toddler energy?

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
