Do you ever have days where you just feel annoyed by your child?
My DS will turn 3 in just over two weeks time and his behaviour and moods have gone wild over the last week and time with him is not enjoyable.
He's defiant, he won't do anything he's told or asked, he cries and whinges all the time, he's hitting and kicking out when he doesn't get his own way and he just generally is not being nice to be around at the moment.
When I picked him up from nursery the other day they also passed comment about the changes in his behaviour and I felt pretty mortified.
He's just such hard work at the moment and I feel like I'm constantly shouting at him. I look at him when he sleeps and think he's such an angel and I love him so much but when he's awake I just feel drained by him.
My DH is currently out of the country and has been for 6 days now and I'm pregnant (and having a rough time with it) and I think those two factors aren't helping. I think my patience levels may be a little low, I don't know. My DH is back in 4 days and I'm counting them down!! ☹️️
I just feel guilty because of how much I seem to be snapping at DS but he seems to have had a personality transplant and I'm finding it hard to manage.
My FIL has picked him up from nursery twice this week just so I can have an extra hour home alone without DS and having to deal with his tantrums and I feel guilty about that too.
I love the bones of DS but over the last week he's been like a devil child and every day feels like an exhausting challenge.
Please tell me it's a normal phase....
