Hi, I just neeeded to talk to someone about this and I know that so many others will probably be feeling the exact same but right now I feel like it's just me and DS against the world, sorry it's so long but have to vent
Last week I took my DS to Clarks to get measured for new shoes and he would not stop running around, will not sit still for 2 minutes and at one point I lost him whilst I was running around trying to catch him, he managed to run upstairs in the store so for a good 3 or 4 minutes I was running around store and outside looking for him when a bloody staff memeber turns and says 'oh the little boy who came in with you? I saw him going to the stockroom a while ago' anyway after a telling off and much speaking to the staff member about watching me frantic and panicking when commmon sense should tell you to 1) stop a child from entering teh stock room and 2) inform the parent you have seen said child.
So fast forward to Saturday night walked into my friend's sisters 21st borthday and said staff girl is there ooks and says 'hiya so your getting peace from the brat then, I don't know how you cope with that thing', I had to be held back from punching her.
Just seems like these comments are getting more and more even the nursery says he is hard work!
I don't have any babysitters just me and DP as my mum won't help out and have very few friends in the area, just feel so alone and exhausted. DP actually walked out last night because DS was just getting to him to so much.
I have been concerned about DS's behaviour for a while but HV says I am just being over dramatic and worrying about every little thing, but the fact he eats one meal a day (breakfast), needs constant attention or scream blue murder, will not do anything he is asked, seems totally oblivious when you speak to him for example if you ask him what he has been doing today he will refuse to answer and start wittering about an imaginery recycling truck , he is up at 5.30am everyday and the fact that he will not so much as sit on the potty/toilet and if we put pants on him he happily wets and soils himself without a word!
It's just getting me down everyone else's 3YO seems to be much further ahead than him infact most of the 2YO's I know are further ahead than he is.
I just need a break from my son, I've never felt I bonded with him properly and now I feel like I know why.
Because I don't think I can cope with him anymore
