Is anyone else’s toddler being a bit ‘challenging’ in this weather?

[Wishitwascooler]

I’m unsure whether it is the stuffy heat or something else. I am heavily pregnant and my two and a half year old is being really difficult at the moment. His tantrums are off the scale, absolute fury and flinging himself around in a blind rage, screaming, saying ‘no’ to everything and even things that previously weren’t an issue suddenly are.

He has definitely had moments before but they were moments while these seem to last longer and be more powerful. Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of parenting this rage filled child with a newborn to care for as well! Anyone got any useful pointers?

Here in solidarity op. 2.5 year old and very very testing at the moment! Hard to keep calm when I'm over heated/ over whelmed too! X

Thank you @crackersforcheese ! Yes, it’s really hard going isn’t it? I feel exhausted and unwell myself and then I have a child who I understand is also probably a bit confused, tired, grumpy, but my god it’s hard, so hard! I have Thursday and Friday just us and am dreading it a bit feel really mean saying that!

Don't feel bad! I've just done 3 days at home alone with mine and I can't wait for work tomorrow for a break 🤣

Yup. I have a 15 month old and has only recently started to test me when we're out. Pulling her clips out and flinging them on the floor and her sun hat. Maybe it's because I'm 33 weeks pregnant and every time I bend down I want to pass out 🥴😭

I hate it when I drop something!

Can confirm 2.5 year old here is also a ratty arse 😂

Yep, my 2.5 year old is being a total jerk at the moment. I'm also 38 weeks pregnant. Good times.... 😭😭😭

I'm a teacher of young children and they are whiney, moody, weepy and very testing at the moment.
