My beaurifuk baby girl has turned into a screaming crying monster over this past week. I am going insane. She is crying, throwing herself on the floor, wont sit still for a moment. She is like a little hurricane.

Yesterday I let her have a tantrum in the middle of a shopping centre. She was face down kicking and screaming because I veered her away from a designer clothes store (imagine the sticky hands and glaring assistants!). It was so bad an elderly Indian woman came up to me and asked me to pick her up and why was she crying. I said she i having a tantrum and I am letting her get on with it. Then another woman turned up and asked if she was ok. THEN a policeman turned up and she stood up for him - all smiles and held his hand and wandered off.

Last night she cried for what seemed like the whole night after a really traumatic bedtime (I mean shrieking, head banging the lot). Ive had 3 hours sleep and I am not enjoying this at all. I sank half a bottle of wine last night and lost it with other dcs.

Today in Waitrose she screamed all the way around until we got in the car. She is now throwing herself on the floor and screeshing with not a tear.

I feel like walking out the door. Its non stop. My other kids were not like this....

Yes, agree with you there...definitely avoiding the tantrums is half the battle esp if you kbow what causes them..boredom/ tiredness/hunger...Beat it to the post!!
