I feel terrible
Does anyone else feel like they are just waiting for their babies to grow up? I have an older toddler as well who can play and paint and do crafts but i feel unable to do any of that with them as my 1 year old is in the stage where they want to be involved but all they do is throw themself around, break things and make a mess and scream about everything and cling to me.
I know its a stage that they all go through but i am so done and ready to be past this point. I cant go out anywhere as he hates being in the buggy but hes not a strong enough walker and I can not carry him around as he hates to be held and head buts and throws himself around to get down.
I find myself constantly saying to my partner, lets do this once he is older, we’ll do that once hes the eldest age. I feel awful as its not his fault, hes just going through what most others go through but I am exhausted.
if anyone is/has gone through this, what advice do you have. All my days are exactly the same where nothing gets down and I get screamed at for just going to pee or making lunch. I am so overstimulated I can not even cry about it

I felt like this with my eldest, I struggled with the baby stage & was constantly eager to move on to the next stage. I think because of this, I'm wanting to just absorb every moment of my youngest {granted my experience of both of my daughters are completely different}. I get what you're going through completely & my husband feels like that as well😅 I'm not sure that I've got any advice, as I just got through it. Sending hugs🤗 I can reassure you, that you will get through it & things will become easier.
That's so so hard. Don't feel bad! Anyone would find that hard and society pressure to enjoy that kind of stage is a bit ridiculous. My boy recently is crying in the pram too and he is a strong walker but won't hold my hand so has to stay in the pram for safety and what worked yesterday was blasting Bob marley through my phone speaker 😅 maybe worth a try. Normally I just sing but wasn't cutting it without backup music apparently! I use some honeysticks crayons, which are edible could be worth a try? I can't really make food without screen time either
