just need an ear, some empathy, some suggestions, somewhere to run too
dd is 2.8, can you guess what's coming? For about a month we have had a very stressful time of it. I'm on my own with her. We were away on holiday a month ago and her behaviour was not good. Came home and it transpired that she had a virus which was awful and she very very poorly so that explains that one. I know the reason for her behaviour now but please see the 1st paragraph! She was just getting better and then as (my) luck would have it, I broke my foot and am in plaster and on crutches. We go away again on Sunday but we're going away with my lovely bro & sil so that should keep me sane, I hope. Anyway, since I broke my foot i've not been able to get out much. I think twice in 2 weeks and i;ve got cabin fever. dd on the other hand has still been able to go to nursery as a member of staff has been picking her up and bringing her back. I'm certain her behaviour is down to the change at home and the fact that I can't take her out and to nursery but i'm exhausted with her and feel so sad about it. Every word she says is no, doesn't do anything I ask her to or not to more to the point and it's soul destroying. I have another month of being in plaster and i'm dreading it. The thing I get wound up about most is if she's up to mischief and could hurt herself and I can't run to her easily. I have to tell her no so many times it just falls on deaf ears. I try and ignore whenever possible but it's not often. Don't know why i'm writing this really but I feel very deflated by it all and can't see and end to it just yet and feel her behaviour is because of me . thanks if you've read this far
