I'm at the end of my tether. I'm 8w pregnant with DC2 and exhausted. DS is 14mo and high needs. I'm too tired to pick him up constantly, which is what he wants and trying to distract him, sit down with him, anything other than picking him up results in a full throttle tantrum. This evening he actually bashed his head on the hard kitchen floor. I've no idea what to do with him. I love him very much, but at the moment he's just a screaming, gouging monster. He's not like this with DH. We've always been very close and he's always been clingy and screamy and difficult to pacify. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with two of them. I haven't slept properly for 17 months and all I can see in the future is more screaming and sleeplessness. I've started shouting at him and feel so guilty and just disastrous at this job which I so wanted to do right. It just all feels like such a colossal mess.
