Just after some solidarity really.
My previously super happy almost 2year old has totally hit the terrible twos.
A month ago he got hand foot and mouth disease and since then he has been totally different. He is almost all healed now but this has now sparked huge tantrums when he can't figure something out or do something. I know all totally normal and we do distractions that generally work very well.
However, he has started to wake in the night, totally out of character for him. I've had 4 hours sleep and now have to go to work all day. From what I've read it's separation anxiety, it ticks all the hideous boxes. We go in, no stimulation but cuddles to calm him now, he gets in such a stress bless him then he's fine. As soon as I'm out the room he's full on screaming, banging the cot. We leave it a while to see if he can calm down, then repeat.
My DH is incredible and we take turns but my gosh I feel broken, like im failing massively.
Don't really know why im posting. Thank you for reading
