Losing it with the amount my 14 month old cries

I've just thrown a bunch of toys against the wall, as I'm so frustrated.

I can't do anything without him crying hysterically to be picked up. My life is really limited. I can't have a cup of tea / empty the dishwasher/ go to the toilet
/ send a text/ make a phone call, while he's awake. He just screams at me constantly.

Then often I don't know what he wants. He wants to come up, then down. Then cries. His crying is constant and hysterical. I posted last week. It's escalating.

I am losing my mind and my temper.

What can I do ? My daughter was not like this at all.

Maybe he's scared as you are angry and stressed and throwing stuff.

At the moment is sounds like the child is at risk of harm.

@Cupcakesbunnycakes what harm?? Do you have a toddler???

I'd put headphones or ear plugs in to drown noise.

My youngest was like this. It was brutal. It started getting better once he could talk well enough to communicate his preferences at about 18 months.
Hes still a grumpy little goblin at nearly 4 but it’s much more manageable.

Mine is similar and is the same age. Although it's annoying I try to limit time at home as much as possible because he's ok out and about. I suggest after you take over from nanny, you take him out for an errand (ie to the shop), and then come home for dinner, bath and bed. It won't always be like this..

Hi OP. I’m in a similar situation to what you have described with my DS. Just wondering how things are now? Did your DS improve as time went on?
