19 mo cries all the time

[Mercapto]

I think I just need to be told its a phase or teething or something but the last two weeks with DD have been dire.

She cries all the frigging time and I really feel I'm starting to crack up. When she is happy or shouts mama or whatever I can't even to bring myself to smile or respond. I just keep thinking she is going to cry any moment now and be unbearable.

She's certainly gotten taller recently and I can see her molars coming in. She wakes about 5 or 6 in the morning even after going to bed late. The housework is piling up because I can't do it with her whinging all the time.

Oh pants. Will this pass? It's really getting to me. I feel like I totally suck at this.

If you can see her molars coming through then I would bet it's that. My ds had his through recently and their gums swell up so much beforehand, it must hurt like hell. You don't suck at this at all, you obviously love your dd but you're tired and understandably so. If she's in pain then use some baby ibuprofen as it's an anti-inflammatory as well as a pain killer.

Do you have a partner or family close by who could take her out for an afternoon and give you a break (not to do housework but rest)?

Oh and YES, it will pass
