Toddler is 26 months. Can't cope with me not giving him his full attention nearly all the time, unless he's eating it glued to the TV. I could give him an hour plus of undivided attention and the moment I leave to go to the toilet or make a drink he loses it. He's been whinging in my face since 5.45 this morning and I have no idea what's wrong. Full bowl of cereal flung to the floor because I said we couldn't have biscuits for breakfast, screaming meltdown while I made his dad breakfast because I wouldn't pick him up. Total hysteria when getting dressed because he wanted to play with his cars. Dad swoops downstairs to take him out for a walk and he's bright as a button doing everything he's told, smiling, laughing etc. It's like this all the time. Doesn't listen to a word out of my mouth but literally wants to be glued to my hip. Urgghhh. No point to this really. Just need a rant. I'm very very tired. I work part time so he has plenty of time in the week with me. Feel like I must have failed horribly this morning and feeling like a pretty shit parent 😔
