Hello
Don't know how I'm coping tbh!
I've a beautiful dd who's 19 months, a typical toddler into everything wanting 110% of my attention and going through terrible twos as well as agression!
She's started lashing out at ds 5 months, scratching him quite badly and trying to bite and hit! Although she does lash out at me, daddy and other children when she's not the centre of attention, or told not to do something! She will also lash out when I'm giving her my total attention, just randomly scratching my ds's face last week! I could scream some days!!
I really try to give her my full attention, but my ds is breast fed, barely sleeps during the day or night it's very tough some days! He gets over tired and screams fighting it! We've had a couple of days where we've all cried, my dd from not having me at with her and me from exhaustion and frustration lol
Thankfully she continues to go to nursery one day a week and to her Nan's an afternoon a week or I think I would be insane by now!
Anyhow I feel better for writing this down, please tell me she will get over this stage and I won't always be a sleep deprived mummy who feels like I need the worlds wurst mummy award some days lol!
