Calling all experienced mums! What do you wish you'd known or any advice for a mum struggling with a 17mth DS!

Need some advice, my ds has turned into toddler overnight

My best bit of advice as a Mum of 3 (oldest 11) is that whatever they are putting you through, it is a phase and they WILL grow out of it. Keep loving them unconditionally but maintain the boundaries you set. The thing I find myself saying all the time is "I'm the grown up!" The most important thing is that no matter how bad it is today, tomorrow is another day. Focus on all the good things and funny moments, to get you through the moments that you are tearing our hair out. Then when he's fast alseep, go into his room and look at him for a while. No matter what mayhem he's caused and how cross you've been with him, he will look like a beautiful angel and you'll remember how much you love him xx

Mine has also had a personality transplant. Turns out it's his canines coming through.
