Is anyone getting frustrated with their toddler and then feeling guilty 😢 this stage is so difficult as communication is limited. I tried to get mine dressed then and it feels like everything is a fight at the moment and I hate the struggl

I feel you! Just started to listening to the book ‘how to raise securely attached kids’ on Spotify as I was really struggling with losing my patience all the time. I’m finding it interesting and helpful. We’re all human and can only take so much push back. I find a big cuddle and a chat after we’ve butted heads make us both feel better x

I had to take him straight to nursery afterwards and he sobbed “muuum” when I left him so I ended up sobbing too 😢 it’s so difficult isn’t it as the communication is not there yet. Il give that a try thank you xxx

Oh don’t I’m the same I always sob after and vow not to lose my shit again 😅 I’ve found that when I’m at my worst is when we’re rushing and she’s taking forever or not doing what I ask etc or when she’s hitting me and laughing, that really winds me up 🫠 me and my partner both promised each other we would both pause before reacting to her this weekend and try and be as neutral as possible when we are reacting as the bug reactions just make it all so much worse. We both did really well and we both said how more enjoyable our weekend had been because of it x

Oh amazing well done! I’ve just been reading about big reactions…. It is difficult though. I’m the same, we were running late for nursery and he was not wanting to get ready or let me get things ready (holding my legs) so I was stressing to get things sorted but then when it’s all calm afterwards I reflect and beat myself up that he only wanted his mummy to play and stay with him 😢 so il feel terrible until pick up now 🫠 mum guilt is so so real 😢😢 thank you for advice xxx
