Desperately need advice as am reduced to tears and suicidal thoughts this morning due to dd's behaviour. She's always been a difficult and highly demanding child and I really struggled with her.
Every morning she wakes up grumpy and have a tantrum over every little thing- what colour pants, which trousers, who puts them on, whether dress should go in from the head down or leg up, which book to read, whether she wants to be carried or walk downstairs herself...and then how much cereal in bow, porridge too lumpy or runny...it goes on and on and on every single day. I really lost it this morning and had to stuff my fist in my mouth to stop myself screaming at her or worst still smack her.
I am really worried about my sanity as used to self harm when was younger but managed to get through that and thought it was all behind me. I worry constantly that I'm a bad mother.I'm not one of those natural earth mother. I hate myself for not being more patient, more softly spoken and not get angry too quickly.
Have a 10 month ds as well and it's looking like he's going to be the same as his sister. Really need advise how to cope better with the morning tantrums...tell me it will past...it's been nearly 2 years already!! thanks.
