I'm not even sure why I'm writing this thread maybe I just need to hear it's going to get better.

2 year old has become extremely difficult, screeching and crying 24/7, won't eat a single thing, won't sleep (multiple wake ups I'm talking 10 to 20 a night), refuses to nap with JUST me but when in care of my DM or Dsis will happily smile and go up for nap and fall asleep in under 10 minutes (I've been there and seen it with my own eyes through the monitor). Slept at DM's and slept the entire night not a single wakeup. Screeches for junk food or the same 2 foods. There are times my patience is tested so hard I've raised my voice quite abit and left the room. DH works a demanding job but helps out as mucb as possible when home and she's similar with him. Due a baby in 2 weeks, not sure how I'm going to survive it.

I swear they can bloody well sense when the baby is due. If your DH is taking Paternity Leave I'd try dividing them up as much as possible, so get him to talk her out as much as possible to things like the park or soft play.

At the moment if she's only eating certain foods, I'd offer a bit if they along with something else, so she gets to eat something and isn't hangry.

I honestly feel like she knows, she's changed towards just me when I git to the 3rd trimester. Thank you for the advice ❤️ I will have DH, DM and DMil so hopefully lots of people to keep her busy and entertained for the transition!!
