My three year old dd is going through a really difficult phase at the moment. Horrific tantrums, constant demands and whinging. I work part time and am beginning to dread my days off with her. I can’t get anything done because she just doesn’t stop asking for food or toys or something else. I take her out on play dates and days out and she embarrasses me with her behaviour. Massive meltdowns, crying and screaming.
Im ashamed to say I’ve just lost my shit with her in the car driving home from a play date with her friend. I felt so overwhelmed with her behaviour while we were out with this mum I don’t even know that well. And the constant screaming and noise in the car, I just lost it and really shouted at her. I feel awful but I just can’t cope with the demands and the tantrums over nothing. I do very little for myself, I’m running on empty and I just want her to calm down a bit.
