I just can't cope any more
DD2 has been unwell since last week, thought to start with may of been side effects of flu vaccine, but could equally just be a virus or teething.
In the thick of it all, she barely slept as very snotty and had a cough, so lots of cuddles throughout the night, however now she seems to be coming out the other side, she has turned into a different child.
Still not sleeping (I've had three hours sleep each night for a week now), not talking to me, just screaming and pointing to things she wants, having a meltdown as soon as I speak, hitting me, biting me, throwing things and screaming at me. I've tried going out but she just screams and tantrums, staying in and it's the same. I can't leave the sofa as she screams and if she wants to go to another room she screams until I pick her up and take her.
I've tried calpol and ibuprofen, teething gel, but she's still the same.
I know toddlers can strop, and she's always had her moments, but this is extreme.
I have DH but he has been working nights, and even he has now got to the point of having enough and DD won't go near him atm, she's all me.
Today I've broke, I've had enough, I'm tired, I need a shower and I need to eat. I'm just sat in tears at the end of my tether at a loss of what to do. I don't want to be hard on her behaviour if she's not well, but then I don't want her to think her behaviour is acceptable. I feel like just walking out the front door to never return.
