I am getting very angry with myself for pushing my toddler away from me (emotionally) when i just can't get him to calm down. He is 21 months old and can talk well, is walking, potty trained during the day and has even started the 'why?' questions.......
The mornings are the worst. He just wants to get in my bed and watch tv and do nothing else. So when i am trying to get him ready for nursery and myself to work it is really testing. He will just scream with tears running down his face shouting my name, my heart breaks!
My husband has gone away for two weeks which means all i hear is 'mummy, mummy, mummy' for anything, even if i have hold of him!
I try walking away to calm down and breath deep breaths but he then grabs my legs and shouts up at me.
I am seriously struggling and just need some none judgmental advice if that is even possible because i am obviously doing something very wrong. I just don't have anyone i can turn to right now that doesn't make me feel like a terrible mother.
