Toddler tantrums

Is anyone else finding the tantrums really hard? My little one has dropped her nap so when she’s with family being cared while I’m at work she won’t nap although she still needs it but not as long as normal…. I manage to her to nap when she’s with me but finding the days she isn’t napping she is so hyper (overtired) by 7 and just then becomes a little devil like throwing bath water everywhere, pure screaming meltdown because she doesn’t want her Jammies on and then refuses everything or dummy , her teddy, cuddle and just have to sit and let her ride it out but it literally is so hard and just breaks my heart watching her like this!! Within minutes of her going to bed she’s out like a light!! I have such mum guilt as I only see her for hour when I get in after being in the office and feel like it’s not really quality time as wrestling to get her changed

Yep, we’re exactly the same with the pure screaming for no reason of for the most minor things, throwing things including bath water out of the bath like you and she’s certainly testing the boundaries as much as she can. I feel guilty for getting so frustrated but it’s hard to deal with at times

I am too! My little girl has been awful lately. Today was the worst literally tantrums all day. She’s screams, throws herself on the floor or throws what ever she has in her hands. Today she threw a toy in my face, then screamed because I told her it wasn’t very nice. She’s also dropped her nap and is so ratty. As much as I hate to admit ,i’m finding it so difficult to enjoy her company at the moment.

We had a meltdown for over half an hour the other day when i had to put her to bed , she obviously wanted something and i couldn’t understand what it was so i didnt let her go back downstairs so she had a full blown tantrum. I left the room after half an hour as couldn’t cope no more and she stopped immediately i went back in and she was fine. But yes everything is a battle now 🤦‍♀️ she has -1-2naps a week and by the time her bed time comes she is clumsy and gets upset over everything she falls asleep fast. When she has a nap the bedtime routine is so long as she just refuses to do anything, will sit on a potty for ages and bare in mind thats the only time she really wants to sit on the potty the other times she has to be reminded to go a thousand times and still refuses 🤦‍♀️ this age is not fun 😂
