Hi all
So I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t cope with with my 2 year old DD and I feel horrible saying that because she’s just a. Child - I have a 4 year old too DS -
my DD has just been hardwork from the get go - a Velcro baby constantly attached and crying for me or to be held started to get better just before she turned 2 and now it’s started again
I just don’t know what to do - she tantrums over everything every little thing that doenst go her way I still can’t go to the toilet alone or get ready - If with her dad she will play independently a lot more and behave better he says she’s fine with him same with her grandma
because I have the kids some days Solo parenting ( hubby works shift work day angled does night shifts and then 4 days off) I work we’d-fri (they go to nursery these days) - so Saturday to Tuesday it’s very overwhelming for me

Not sure where I’m going with this but just sat here in tears as I don’t want to be shouty mum I want to give them both my All as best as I can but mentally I’m just drained now -

we live with in-laws too which is a whole different story in itself

any tips on how to break up my daily routine with a 4 year old and a clingy 2 year old that doesn’t cost me huge amounts everytime I take them outside (I don’t drive)

many thanks
