To be afraid to leave the house with my hideously heaved dd

She's 2 in feb. She's amazing in many ways, she loves people she knows and has many lovely traits.
But like every other child or human being she has some negative points!
She has the most explosive temper ever, the moment she thinks something isn't going her way she lashes out at anyone who's near her, including other children (even of they have nothing to do with what she's upset about) she hits, repeatedly and when you pick her up to remove her from the other children she slaps me in the fave with both hands whilst screaming and pulling herself to the floor.
The moment we go anywhere she does this on purpose for a reaction, attention seeking is normal I know but she is continuous!
Other mums are just starring at me thinking just what I thought before I had a child "she must be parenting wrong" I stay calm, I repeat myself when needed and watch her 24/7 to make sure she doesn't lash out at another child but she managed it from time to time and the tantrum in the middle of the play area is sooooo embarrassing.
I just don't want to take her out anymore, she is horrible unless she is getting her way entirely or sat infront of fucking ice age which I HATE doing.
I want her to enjoy life, enjoy other children and various experiences but it's just not possible with her temper.
She won't do anything for more than 5 seconds and is impossible to entertain in the house.
Honestly, she's a brat.
I love her dearly but right now I hate being a mother.

I have a friend whose child was like that! My poor friend would be tearing her hair out constantly pulling him away from other children after he had attacked them. I remember at a play group once she took her eyes off him for a few seconds to put her baby down and he had kicked off at some other child and the mum went mental telling her to keep an eye on him. It's all well and good judging when you're not in they situation but my friend would be so stressed out, de could not go anywhere or do anything with him as he would always be attacking other children. He's 4 now and has gotten much better as he has gotten older. He's quite a sweet kid now that he's started school!

OP it's early days and overwhelming - you are doing all the right things.

You've recognised there is a problem, engaged the right professionals and been considering what things you can do to improve life for you both. Just stay with that attitude and try not to blame yourself.

It's hard and even 4 years on from diagnosis and my son aged 10 there are days when I feel despairing but I love him first and I work with him second.

Hang in there

Going to have a look round our local Montessori nursery in a bit. What should I ask? I have no idea how to pick a good nursery!
Ahhhh
