Did it ever get better?
I am exhausted and miserable (and obligatory love my child of course).
DS will NOT sit still or quietly without a screen for longer than a couple of minutes. Even a screen doesn't work for long enough that its something I bother relying on most of the time.
He isn't a 'bad' child overall, he doesn't really tantrum or hit and plays nicely with other kids. BUT trying to do anything that doesn't include him being active just feels impossible. Things like meals out with friends or sitting at Church before the kids service starts. He wants to be loud and get up and run. Every time.
Another terrible day, everything ruined, parents of kids who aren't as active or those who have forgotten judging. I'm fed up, I'm exhausted and I really need to hear that your child eventually shut up and sat still. And when. Please.
