Not expecting advice (though I'll gladly take it if offered) just need to vent.
DS has just turned 16 months and EVERYTHING is a battle. He's clearly super frustrated as I don't understand his babbled instructions/demands and, in his eyes, I'm simply not doing as he has clearly -in his mind anyway-expressed!
Won't eat unless in front of the TV (don't even get me started on that one, Thanks DH). Hunts for the iPad all day to watch his nursery rhyme videos. Screams when told no.
Throwing everything-food, toys, books. Downstairs neighbours must hate us.
The level of indecision is phenomenal. He wants to sit on your knee, no he doesn't, yes he does, he wants fruit, no, clearly he doesn't as it's been launched across the room. Now he wants to red that book, nope, that book, nope..,.
Tantrums over everything. Brushing teeth, putting coat on, not being allowed in the bin, not being allowed to terrorise next door's dog, not wanting postman pat, then wanting postman pat, then wanting wheels on the bus, then sobbing as he had "clearly" told me he wanted if you're happy and you know it (irony isn't lost on me)..
And the CONSTANT whinging noise-as if all this wasn't bad enough, he's providing a flipping soundtrack to it.
Today was a bad day.
At least he's asleep now. Touch wood.
