I don't seem to have much patience with DS (7mths) sometimes. Like this morning- he didn't want feeding or changing, he didn't want to play, but he did want to scream and bite me or pull my hair. I just get wound up and raise my voice, telling him to stop. Then i felt really wound up, and put him in his travel cot (which i use as a play pen if i need to hoover etc) and i went in the kitchen for 5 mins to calm down.
I should have more patience shouldn't i? He's going to hate me when he's older i know it- his Dad is all calm and patient and i'm a grumpy knob when i can't work out what he wants.
