Have just had a horrible SHOUTY weekend with DS 15m. Am feeling v ashamed of myself and sad that it has been so horrible and depressing. DS is spirited and always a handful, but usually with "management" is a fairly good boy. But the last 3 days he's been very angry, nothing has pleased him, v impatient and tantrum after tantrum - a ver ear piercing scream almost constantly too! Not fun - and I know how I should handle it and have tried but just completely ran out of patience today.
DH has been working away this time too, so have been on my own with him, trying to summon up the courage to take him somewhere/do stuff with him while he's in this mood. The crap weather today didn't help either. I feel like I've been shouting all day, and barely keeping a lid on my temper. DH swanned in and had a go at me for being so horrible to DS - and he's right. But it's so hard sometimes. He's giving DS his bath now and I am .
Am hoping DS snaps out of it soon, but anyone got any patience-keeping tips in the meantime (or for next time!)? Thanks, sorry it's long...
