I just feel so ashamed to say this but sometimes just feel I actually make dd worse.
The reason being that I hardly ever take her anywhere as I am frightened of other people's reactions. How awful does that sound?
The trouble is that unless I expose dd to lots of different environments then how is she ever going to learn. I am almost paranoid and I think it stems back to 2 years ago when we had to wait in a gp surgery for well over an hour and dd was really behaving badly as although you she still finds it hard to wait 2 years ago she was a nightmare. It all came to a head and I ended up in floods of tears when the receptionist told me there was still 7 people in front of me.
Today we went out and everytime dd put her fingers in her ears or hummed I tried to stop her as I hate people looking at her . Why can't I just relax and not care what other people think? It is getting out of control and I have to say even counselling hasn't helped.
I just feel like such a sht mother and a complete btch.
Sorry about the ramble but dh is at football and I needed to talk to someone
