So fed up with 3 year olds tantrums

[fruitstick]

I know they all do it but I feel llike I'm on the edge. Have ha very little sleep with 12 week old DS2 (see other thread this morning) but DS1 has woken up in a foul mood and has been hideous all morning.

He's overtired but I can't get him to sleep any earlier or wake any later.

This morning he has screamed, taken all his clothes off, hit, lay on floor because (in order)

• he didn't want me to change baby's nappy before we went downstairs
• he wanted to be first downstairs (obviously could achieve this as I was changing nappy
• wanted more cornflakes than I put in his bowl so is refusing to have any of them
• is hungry and wants breafast.

He had a choice of cereal and colour of bowl!

Am so frustrated I think I might lose it any minute ..............

sorry you have had a crap morning - i have 3.5 yo who was like the excorsist (?sp)at the breakfast table this morning. have to go now (8 mo wriggling on my knee) but will post more later. just wanted to let you know you are not alone!!!

hope the rest of the day went better

Oh you poor thing, can completely relate. My DS is 4 next month and the tantrums stopped at xmas time so hang in there! I was at my absolute wits end with him, so much so I had to call in the HV!!

It was relentless and I have never been so stressed and tired. Hang in there, it really will get better, xx

Eventually managed to distract him with a particularly fat pigeon! They are just so wearing, and so pointless.

I suppose it's just him learning his place in the world but I wish he'd bloody hurry up and learn it .

tomorrow is another day .......................
