ds, now almost 2, is shouting a lot more than he did. for everything. about anything. i give him attention when he is playing nicely yet he still will shout at me for attention. we have an active social life and go out for walks twice daily.
i knew the tantrums would get worse with age and i do try to distract him before it takes hold and that often works! (for now!)
but somedays, i dont feel like i can cope with him constantly pulling on me, shouting at me and wanting ME there constantly. i do my best to ignore it when i feel it needs ignoring, but at the end of the day, im just worn down. (and i dont want to leave him to watch TV all the time, either.) i feel like i am doing all i can to keep him happy.
and its not enough. (no doubt this is a typical feeling, but on days like today when the shouting has been seemingly non-stop since 7.30am when his dad left for work..im at my wits end..(it doesnt help that i am having martial problems that are wearing me down in the evenings, so at night its problems with dh and during the day its ds:( )
sigh.. sorry for the rant ladies..
any help or anything is appreciated.... (
