My boy is 3. He is driving me to a heart attack. I am on sertraline for anxiety/depression and I can feel my entire chest cavity throb with weight of stress. He has just drawn in a new library book. He spent the morning whining, whining and pestering and pestering non stop. He is relentless. He isn't like this at nursery. I'm struggling to cope. I decided to go part time so I could be a lovely mummy but honestly I feel so fcuked off all the time. My husband is brilliant, does lots etc etc. My son doesn't whine relentlessly for him, however. I don't know what to do.

If he won't hold your hand tell him it's reins or a buggy.

My DS didn't like holding hands but hates reins (the little backpack ones) so then got much better at hand holding.

I too was going to suggest reins, if he won’t hold your hand and runs off no wonder you’re stressed. Mine had their reins on or we went home!

And I agree with the PP, 3 is the worst age. Mine were fine when they were 2, but 3 was much harder work. I think it’s because they can argue and also ask “why” 3 million times a day. Grin
