Help keep me sane

[izziechef]

My poor little 1,5 year old is driving me nuts.

I feel so sorry for him as he's poorly with a chest infection but my god, I'm finding this hard haha!

He woke at 5:30 and has whinged since. He wants a cuddle, so I cuddle him, that was good for about 0.71 seconds then he wants to be down. That's good for 0.12 seconds then he wants cuddles again.

I'm a terrible mother aren't I???? HELP

And now the fight to get him to nap 😩😩

Oh those days!
He may be feeling a bit achy too so all uncomfortable in himself hence not knowing what he wants. Distraction may work. Could you do something that he doesn’t often do, ie big cardboard box or empty suit case, with blankets etc. Maybe make him a den. When I’ve been desperate, I’ve actually poured rice all over the floor and then got ds to hoover it up. Had he had calpol and child’s neurogenic just to take the edge off if he’s feeling crappy? Maybe run a lovely deep bath and climb in with him.

@Ozziewozzie on my gosh. You're a genius, I love the suitcase and blankets idea!

He's had calpol and stuff so hopefully when he wakes I'll be able to get him wellllll wrapped up and take him out for some fresh air and a change of scenery!
