My baby is one next week. In the last few weeks it’s been so full on. He was a really chilled baby for many months but he’s recently stepped things up and I feel totally overwhelmed.
The moment he wakes up it’s immediate breakfast. He’s started resisting certain foods and will actually throw things really forcefully. He cries a lot more than he used to. I couldn’t even contemplate a day at home as he would just cry. He’s ok when we go out but he’s recently started getting angry about the car seat too.
I feel like I’m failing as I just don’t have it in me to constantly entertain him. I read with him for half an hour a day. I do play now and then in short ten minute bursts. He seems happy in the pram on a walk but even that he’s started to cry if it’s too long.
I feel totally fed up. Single parent with a useless ex so I don’t get a break. No family to help either. I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing to make him happy.
