My son is 18 months old. I think he has always been a very grumpy baby but things just arnt getting any better. I work 4 days a week and dread the day I spend with him which is really really sad.
He has become relentless from morning til night. He hates everything and kicks off at everything we do. He throws all his food on the floor and screams. He won't let you change his nappy or dress him unless he is heavily distracted. He won't go in the pram . Some days he refuses to walk but then kicks and punches when hes carried. A dummy is the only thing that keeps him relatively quiet but he even throws that half way across the room.
He is very sociable, loves to play with other children and even sits on other mums knees . He only says 5 words but is constantly babbling to himself and us so I don't think he will have a problem talking when he can.He seems to be well behaved with grandma and at nursery most of the time but so badly behaved at home ???
I have always put it down to ' teething ' but it is everyday to some extent. He hits and scratches me and the poor dog spends his day moving out of his way.
I think what I want to know is , is this normal !?!? Do I need to just suck it up and get on with it and hope once his final 4 teeth are through things improve ?
What are other peoples experiences ?
