Having a low point, need advice!

[Multifacetediguana]

My ds is 13.5 mo. I have been back at work full time (teacher) for 2 months now. It has been going well do far but this week has been a crazy week at school and am feeling a bit frazzled.

I am very lucky to have a lot of family support. Ds goes to nursery 2 days and is with gps or dh the rest of the time. Today my mum had him and I got home to hear that they had had a lovely day together, been happy and smiley all day playing in the garden and going in a walk. When she left I went to change ds' nappy which resulted in a major meltdown/ screaming fit. He was whiny while I gave him his tea and then had another strop when I wouldn't let him take the broom into the bath, then another one when he hit out of the bath. He also woke up screaming this morning and clung to me when I tried to go in the shower.

Obviously I am pleased that he has good days with other people, but it is so disheartening to think that I miss out on him being happy and he seems to save the screaming fits for me.

Just feeling down, but am currently bf ing him to sleep which is lovely! Any advice?

Anyone?

My ds was much the same at that age, I used to come home to tales of loveliness then feel totally pounded by wipeout meltdowns. We nanny share and for the first 12 months plus she never saw the wipeout. It's bloody tough but I tried to think, as I rescued for restorative gin/wine that it meant I was the safest person for him to let all the emotions out with. It did level out and now I normally get charged at and hugged with tantrums only happening about specific things. Hang in there and try and come up with something that's nice and chilled before bedtime routine. In our house now it's a cuddle with fireman Sam episodes.

It us really hard especially when you get them at the end of the day when they are tired and more likely to have little tantrums. It is all par for the course and you are still his mummy who he loves always
