My dd is 3yrs 4mths. Atm I find I am constantly irritated by her

All she seems to do is whinge and moan all day and she needs constant attention.

She talks non stop

but everything is a moan with her.

She also will not let my ds help her with anything and tends to fly of the handle easily if he tries to (like putting her shoes on etc) everything has to be me.

She also tends to attack him quite a lot (although he sometimes winds her up)

She can be a really lovely little girl. She is funny and bright but oh, so annoying atm!!

Just looking for some reassurance really that other children this age are like this? I don't really remember what ds was like

I am a bit paranoid about her atm as she had a head injury 3 months ago and I worry that her change in behaviour is related to that and permanent although people try to remind me that she was a bit annoying before too!

She is also at the annoying stage of not being able to walk very far and I end up carrying her everywhere. If I don't we have a major tantrum and she normally ends up falling over and doing herself yet another injury!

Anyone else in the same boat, please?

Hi all,
New to this thread, but can sympathise with you all... My DS (3 in june) has never slept throught the night and now just calls out my name as a warning, grabs a teddy or pillow or thomas train toddles into my bedroom, climbs into my bed pulls up the covers and then says sleepliy wheres my milk? erm who is in charge here Fear its not me!. To the point where he said to my DH theother night - daddy what are you doing on my side of the bed?!

As for poos in a pot, that would be nice - he insists on poos in a nappy although after lots of blackmailing and tears we have finally got the wees in the pot working fine with actually getting him to keep pants on. Who would have thought it would be such hard work!. so nice to hear I'm not alone with these issues I have with my DS

xx

can totally relate to all these posts!

Please spare a thought for me, I've got a 3.3month old with chicken pox!! Geez, I thought she could whinge before but never heard anything like it today. I do feel dead sorry for her but if she tells me again that 'my spots are itching' I'll go nuts!

Doctor has advised me to stay indoors with her for at least a week - i've only done one day and it's nearly killed us all!

My biggest bug bear with my 3yr old is getting her dressed and her wriggling about and me totally losing my temper every single time we do it - she just laughs at me!

ARGH!!
