Im losing it... HELP

2.5 year old just does not listen.

When we go out he'll refuse to sit in the pushchair, i ask him to hold my hand, he'll do it for a minute then run off. I feel so flustered when out with him and nearly burst in to tears in the shop today, he was running out of shop at one point.
Last time he was screaming so loud in asda because i strapped him into the pushchair after giving him 3 warning. I get that hes a child but i hate myself when people look at me, makes me feel so shit.

On top of that im trying to toilet train but he just doesnt do it in the toilet, he'll just about sit on it now but wont do anything in it.

Ive just had a cry which normally helps but still fell shit. Love LO so much and hate saying this but hes really fucking pissing me off, my favourite times of the day are nap times and bed times.

Any advice would be appreciated

How old is he? Is he showing the signs for readiness for toilet training?

Make your life as easy as possible, use online shopping. Don’t tell him to get in the buggy but ask him if he wants a snack or a cartoon of milk while sitting in the buggy. Yes it’s bribery but it work. Get some reins for when he is walking.

This is a tough age and I promise it does get easier. Does he attend preschool? That used to give me some time to myself and I then had more patience for them when I picked them up.

Bribery is also great like the other poster said. I always took snacks for mine when I went out I've got 3 children and 2 of them hated their buggy and car seat! It sounds to me like you could do with a break. Give you time to miss him

No advice really, just to say I have one the same age and she’s driving me nuts for all the same reason.....a phase?! Hope so!
