I can't cope with my 2 year old

My 2.3 year old DD is constantly MISERABLE. All she does is whinge and moan. I wouldn't mind but she has an amazing life. I don't want advice as such, I've tried everything. I just want to moan.

I am speaking with health visitor tomorrow to see if the behaviour is normal. I'm pregnant and extremely stressed by this, causing me to have panic attacks.

She sleeps well, talks well and does not show any signs of autism etc. Development is great. Is well behaved in nursery 3 days a week.

I've noticed she has her final molars poking through and hasn't been eating hardly anything maybe due to this.

But her behaviour has been so bad today I'm at the end of my tether. Just constant screaming, whinging, demanding, can't look at her, touch her, speak to her without her screaming. I have never known a child so moody. She isn't spoilt but we are great parents and our lives revolve around her. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's really upsetting me. Is it a phase?

No wise words but bumping for morning crowd. My 22 month old boy is very challenging at the moment too so sending solidarity. Does she go to nursery? Mine does for 2.5 days a week and it’s a huge help. I have a 6 month old girl too, so I’d say definitely try and get help and speak to HV before she’s born. It will get better in time and some children are just higher needs than others Flowers
