Struggling 😭

I’m struggling with my little boy so much right now 😭 he is constantly whining and I just feel myself getting so triggered by it I just want to snap at him! First thing in the morning in his bed he starts and then whines about everything. His speech isn’t amazing due to constant ear infections and learning two languages so maybe that’s frustrating him. I want a second baby but I literally do not know how I’d cope. I feel all I do is cry and struggle and I don’t know how everyone else seems to be handling everything so much better than me 😢 Looking for tips to stop the whining and any other advice or motivation to get me out this funk!

Some times the whining can just be a cry for attention that as we’re so busy we miss. Have you tried taking 5mins sit down and give him the cuddle/quick book read to see if that settles him.

Yeah I’ve tried that. When I’m with him I’m so WITH him like phone away and focussed on him 😭

Chances are, everyone else isn't handling it as well as you think. My husband and I have recently spoken to friends with children a similar age and everyone is having a right mare at the moment. I'm 19 weeks with our second and sometimes I think 'am I mad?!' but then deep down I know this is just a phase for our December baby and it will pass. I'm working on not getting so stressed and sometimes if I have to walk away and have 10 minutes, that's fine. It does stop some of the whining because he realises doing that, won't get him anywhere. Are you able to leave him with someone for a few hours and just take some time to yourself? I do this a couple of times a month and it definitely helps. Lunch with friends usually x
