Can't cope with 3 year old constant crying anymore

[Applefall321]

I am at my wits end. DS is 3 and just cries/moans what feels like 24/7. I am so drained by this and struggling to see an end in sight. For example he will ask to go to park, you go to park and he has an instant meltdown. Same with garden, walk etc. Cries at every nursery drop off (but then apparently has a nice day according to the staff).

He refuses most foods. Is struggling massively with potty training. Speech is delayed but can say words but not hold a conversation or speak in sentences.

It is just relentless and I feel like I am failing.

Any tips greatly appreciated!

You’re not failing. I’m in a similar boat, DS is 20 months but has lately been entering the ‘terrible twos’ early. Without a doubt after EVERY nap (once a day) he will scream and cry for around an hour/hour and a half… I don’t wake him up, he just wakes up and screams. It drives me insane because I can’t do anything, he won’t let me near him until he calms down. DP works 6 days a week and is out the house from 6am - 6pm so it’s hard.

I dont really have any tips but just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. I’m also 12 weeks pregnant so probably going through it with hormones as well but oh my god what I would do to just have 24 hours ALONE!!! I can’t even go for a wee alone 😩

Thank you for sharing that makes me feel slightly better 😅 I honestly found 2 years old so much easier, like I genuinely questioned what people were on about when they said "terrible two's", turns out mine was just delayed 😂.

Today is particularly tough, non-stop crying since half 4 😢.
