Hiya,
I'm feeling like a bad mum and just need to offload really. my ds is 21mnths and whilst on hand he is TOTALLY adorable and sweet natured and funny....boy oh boy is he strong willed and downright bloody whingey. He's extremely impatient, when he wants something he wants it yesterday or there's a huge meltdown, he's also a really fussy eater which means that i spend a lot of time and energy making lovely meals which then get spat out or completely ignored. some days i can cope ok with him and others i just lose it and shout at him, like today, he was in a very clingy mood which he tends to be quite often meaning if i'm not sat with him and dare to stand up and go into the kitchen he has a major crying fit holding on to my trousers as i stumble towards the kitchen. the thing was , i was heading for the kitchen to make his supper because he'd point blank refused lunch and was now getting angsty because he was hungry. i lost it and shouted at him to "just shut up" ....he's a sensitive little soul and his little bottom lip came out and he started sobbing and cuddling me.....god i felt awful and the worst thing is it's the second time i've shouted this week, why can't i have more patience, i look at other mums and when their kids are doing similar they jut shrug and say things like " ooh they're a bit whingey today" and laugh it off. I feel absolutely crap.
