Feel terrible and as if I am abusing my son, but in the mornings he simply WILL NOT get dressed and in order to get his nappy off and then into clean nappy and dressed I have to almost pin him to the floor. And then he cries, but I don't know if it's because of the manhandling or because he's angry that he didn't get his own way.
Is this normal? Is this bad? Will I raise a small psychopath? Seem to have one already!
Any tips for other ways of handling it? We've tried negotiating, we've tried getting all the teddies to lie down next to him (worked once), we've tried threats, we've tried bribes (this works sometimes, but I'm not keen) and sometimes it's five to eight and we just HAVE TO BE OUT OF THE HOUSE!
