my ds is 12mo and has started to have quite forceful wants, as opposed to needs, about things - like, I'll be cooking and he'll demand in a really shouty, grating fashion to have a feel of the raw mince I'm about to cook.
This is fine sometimes, but I find it really hard to deal with if we're both tired and end up screeching "just wait fgs, it needs to be cooked" or whatever. And he's obviously too young to understand about waiting.
I guess I should just ignore the really whiny stuff, but it really pushes my buttons and I don't want to turn into a screechy harridan type of mum, particularly as ds is a nice, smiley baby most of the type.
Any tips gratefully received, thanks .
