…my 21 month old DD would win!
She is something else and I feel the need to vent about it. She’s my 2nd and we went through a similar stage with DS at around 18/19 months when he couldn’t communicate what he wanted so whinged all day about it but it was shorter lived. Since she was 17 months DD has spent about 75% of her awake time crying/whinging/screaming. It’s peaked over the last two weeks and she’s now screaming at dinner time if she doesn’t want what I’ve given her, has a sudden aversion to baths and is hysterical, generally awful around anyone she doesn’t know that well, clinging to me like a koala and going nuts if I go out of sight. It’s so incredibly draining and I’m fearful this is just her temperament. My DS was a joy at this age. In fact I was already 3 months pregnant with my daughter when he was her age. Safe to say that wouldn’t have been the case if she’d come first! Her routine is great; nice 1.5-2 hr lunch nap, 12 hrs overnight. She’s had some teeth troubling her but I now feel as though I’m using that as a constant excuse as to why she’s so miserable all the time.
When will this end?!!!
