Hello ladies, sorry this is a long rant.
This weekend I've been fighting back tears and I'm struggling to remain impartial about this. My DS hates me when anyone, DH or my family, are around. He shoves me away and just chases after them if they go in another room and screeches if I pick him up.
I've seen other posts on this subject, saying that this is quite normal, but these other posts were all for 2/3 year olds? Haven't seen any others relating to babies this age.
I'm a SAHM and DH is here evenings and weekends. He's great with DS and constantly plays with him and holds him, but this just makes me feel inadequate because I can't possibly be as much fun as I have DS all day during the week and have to do other things rather than just play with him all the time.
I feel like i have to do all the unpopular tasks which are a struggle, frequent nightwakings (still BF), mealtimes etc. My parents don't help because they give in to whatever DS wants (i.e. taking him out of his highchair to eat, cos he complains about being in it). DS is VERY strongwilled (spirited in Baby Whisperer talk) and I'm also worried that all this giving in to him everytime he has a little whinge is going to create a monster. So I'm the disciplinarian aswell, it's no wonder he hates me!
Aargh, help me get this into perspective so I can stop sulking and behave like an adult!
