I feel like DS’ behaviour is really working me up at the minute. He’s 21mo and ALL for me, he’s always been a mummys boy but at the minute no one else will do and I love him and love this - our bond is so special
but I am now struggling with guilt whenever I leave (E.g. nursery drop off so I can work) and I am 22w pregnant with his sister so exhausted and not feeling my full self, so when he’s only wanting me to pick him up or do something it feels so hard that it’s all on me
He does have an amazing relationship with his dad , my DH, but he just wants me to do pretty much everything. And I also feel I’m the ‘safe space’ people mention as I get ALL the tantrums and any sort of ‘difficult behaviour’
I feel so exasperated sometimes and I get it’s hard he can’t say fully what he wants, he’s got better but he’s still at an age where he doesn’t he can’t do everything he wants (E.g. walk into the road - hates when I stop him doing that!!!)
how do I feel calmer in myself? I want to be the best mum ever and right now I feel like after bed time or during work I’m just blank? I just feel emotionally exhausted
