I'm at the end of my patience with 2.5 year olds tantrums

[Hogu]

If it was a throwing himself on the floor tantrum I think I'd cope better but he clings to me instead, I can't get away and he's constantly screaming 'carry'.
I'm trying to get dinner ready or go somewhere or do something and it's always the same.

I tried to stick to my guns but this has just gone on for 20 minutes constantly screaming and pulling at me, my clothes, my leg. Eventually I broke down and just cried with him. I don't know how to handle this anymore.
Even DH thinks our ds is the way he is be abuse of me, I feel like I've lost all control and just live in fear of my ds having a screaming fit at me for not giving him what he wants.

So fed up

Firstly your DH needs to realise that what you are describing is normal toddler behaviour and not to put this on you!

Toddler tantrums are bloody hard OP; I remember man-handling DS out of supermarkets on practically every visit. In fact, I stopped taking him in the end until the tantrums stopped.

It does get easier, in the meantime keep doing what you're doing and try not to give in. I'm pretty stubborn so despite being tested daily DS didn't learn that the tantrums succeeded in getting what he wanted. It didn't stop him trying though unfortunately and I wish I could say it was easy.
