Ds1 is 3, ds2 is 2 - the pair of them have just broken up from preschool. At ds2’s 2 year check the hv identified some problems with communication, backed up by preschool who said he’s operating at 8-20 months where he should be at 28 months.
Ds2 is very content but wanders around doing his own thing, talking incessantly (repeated words from tv and books). Gets angry if disturbed. Won’t hold my hand - sit down screaming tantrums if made to. Screams in the buggy.
I can’t keep up with the pair of them now I’ve got them full time during the week - going anywhere with the pair of them is a nightmare - ds1 plays up and gets upset when I basically have to leave him to his own devices to look after ds2.
I’ve just been out with friends and ds2 was a nightmare - running off, pulling things off tables , tantrumming etc. Ds1 cried because he hurt himself and I wasn’t there. I’ve just cried all the way home. I can’t cope.
Ds2 keeps waking up in the night - seemingly for nothing - and won’t go back to sleep for hours at a time (1-4am last night). I don’t know what to do. I wish I could just leave , or that I’d never had a second child. I just feel like crying all the time.
