19 month DS has been ill for about a week, so am trying to take that into account. He's been perking up over the last couple of days and has channelled his renewed strength into being a total utter pain in the bloody arse.
For the last 3 days, he has done nothing but low level whinging/serious high pitched glass shattering screaming. He sreams if you pick him up, he screams if you put him down. He screams because he wants a drink, he screams the minute he's done because the cup offends his eyes and must be removed immediately. He screams because he wants something which is 2 millimetres from his hand but he won't pick it up himself, he screams because the sun rises in the bloody east...
Got to the point today after 40 minutes of prolonged high pitched shrieks over nothing discernible that I just had to go and leave him on the landing while I went in another room to calm down and just sit for 5 minutes. It drives me totally beserk having to deal with it sometimes, I just run out of patience. DP's all so bloody relaxed about it, but then he only sees DS for about an hour a day in the week, rest of the time its all down to me, and today I just had to leave him skriking because if I didn't I would have bashed my own head in against the wall.
Am I just very intolerant or does everyone have days like this? Is leaving your kid bellowing by itself a terrible thing?
