my DD is so demanding. Ever since she was born she has pretty much screamed and cried every stage gas been a fight. When she is in a good mood she is a joy but we feel like we are always on a knife edge as she can turn at any time.
The latest thing is lound screaming shouting. So many people have said to me god she is loud.. Loads of my friends have had babies around same time and all of then are far more chilled out easier. It's put a massive strain on my relationship with DP, we seem to exsist. I am lucky and have stayed with with parents in Bournemouth for a week here or there and they are a massive support. They two say they have never seen a baby like her!
In her first few weeks a CD of the sea was the only think that would settle her. She has never been a baby you can comfort or cuddle to sleep.
She just cries at everything I have always left her to cry in cot at day time and sleep trainned her so she can go through now and day naps are better as she only cries for a minute or to then sleeps . But this am woke at 5.45 ...I knew she needed more but she cries that much I just get her up as bored listening to it! Other babies just thrash around make noises but she has two levels quiet or crying lound screaming
Will it get easier, why is she seemingly so unhappy ....or am I just a rubbish mum and sometimes I just feel like her carer and she can be so hard to love. I wanted to be a mum for so long but never thought it would be like this. My DP never really wanted kids so I feel like I have ruined his life. He is no support and I pretty much have to do everything. I don't leave her much as not sure how she will behave. Only really trust my mum!
