Please, please give me your opinions.
My ds is 3 has beenan easy child in some respects, sleeping through, weaning, potty training and eating but it his general day to day behaviour that I strugglr with.
I live 3 hours away from parents and went home this weekend to help care for my Mum as she had just had hysterectomy. My sister was mainly looking after her but I felt bad not being there.
While mum was in hospital my sister looked after ds for an hour so I could go and see MUM.
We all went to get Mum and bring her home but ds was all over the house when we got back in and fiddled with everything. He moaned constantly, he was hot he was tired and was not happy unless Iwas with him. It was like having an 18 month old where you cannot blink. He was squealing and behaving atrociously.
Yes he may have been a bit tired, also he was missing his dadddy as he was away for weekend (Navy) and he obviouslt wasn't handling my Mum being ill very well either.
He was the same the following day, so much so that I had to just leave my mums and come back to our place. I am still so angry as I feel I should have been able to care for them both and could have if ds had been his normal self but with this magnified behaviour I couldn't do a bloody thing.
I feel he is such a brat and am not sure what to do next. My mum adores him and even she said he just needs a good smack and maybe I should give up trying!
Is this normal 3 year old stuff???
