To wonder if anyone else feels their child dislikes them?

[Chipshoptea]

I definitely do. Age 3

I’ve done the ‘right’ things and he still speaks to me like shit, screams at me to get away from him.

I feel like something in me is broken

Oh OP, 3 year olds are little monsters, they really are. He doesn't dislike you, he loves you and needs you desperately. He has a secure attachment to you, and therefore feels safe enough to vent and tantrum in your presence, safe in the knowledge that you'll always be there for him.

He's getting older every day!

Honestly I know … that’s what everything i have read says but I don’t think it’s true in this case. I genuinely think he dislikes me. I wish I could move out as he just hates me around him.

I do but then my 6 year old is autistic and will not seek out affection and has never said love you mum or anything like that. Does not want hugs at bedtime etc. Yesterday he asked me when I was going to work and I said I am not going today, mummy doesn't work on Saturdays and he was disappointed and told me so 😂 luckily I have learnt to have a very thick skin with ds2 and I know he does feel safe and happy around me.

No mine doesn’t say I love you or anything but then I genuinely don’t believe he does. I know it sounds like I’m overreacting but I do think I know in my heart of hearts.

I’m pretty sure you’re the same poster from a thread earlier today (I can’t find it now, so I can only assume it’s been deleted) - on the thread you had a lot of comments with advice, the information you’ve provided on this one is exactly the same (e.g. that you want to move out and leave your three year old and that you think they speak to you like shit, even though they’re only three)

On the previous thread you were given lots of advice and support, but you chose to disregard this in the comments - is this why you’ve created a new thread to see if there are any other opinions?

Edited Apologies, I’ve now found the other thread in relationships which I’ve linked below (which I can see was posted after this one) - I stick by it seems like you are the same poster, either way if you are or you aren’t, have a read through the comments on the other thread as lots of people providing advice and support which could really help you 😊https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/relationships/5050144-moving-out-due-to-childs-behaviour

@EsmeeMerlin am so sorry. This must be hard for you. But I did smile at the fact that he told you he is disappointed you're not going to work. I see you have thick skin and a sense of humour. ALL the best parenting your lovely (if disappointed) DS

And besides how you feel about it, what, as a parent do you do about his screaming and apparent distress?
