I can’t take my toddler

Guys. I’m at a loss. I hate waking up every morning and having to be with him all day. All he does is whine, winge & cry all day. Nothing is wrong and he’ll cry. Something is wrong, I’ll fix it, and he cries. I’m currently looking to go back to work just to get away from him. I’m scared that I’ll put him in danger because I don’t care anymore. He only smiles and laughs with his Dad or anyone else other than me. I want to move out and get my own flat so I can be alone. My partner and i’s relationship is great, but my baby definitely hates me. I can’t take it anymore because I know I’m a great mother, but his temperament makes it so hard.

Your baby doesn’t hate you. You’re the default parent. That’s all 🫶🏻 I totally get it though! Mine does shit with me that he won’t even think twice about doing with his dad

I think something is in the air, cause my son is normally a dream to be near and after his most recent sickness (just a cold) he started crying and crying and crying even when I’d listen and do everything the exact way I was asked to. It was an awful four days of him seemingly feeling better from his sickness but still being all out of sorts. But for us there was thankfully a light at the end of the tunnel

its awful being a sahm, and the default parent, but when he’s in nursery he’ll be so tired out he can’t cause a meance at home, its normal to feel this way and tire not a bad mom

Get some good quality noise canceling headphones! I use mine to listen to my books when my little ones are being a little too whiney. I can still hear them and I obviously check on the and don’t just ignore them but sometimes i just need an out. I need to get lost in something else and not the constant screaming and what not. I hope you find some relief and get to do something for just you soon! 🫶🏼 You’ve got this!

I relate to this so much makes you think your going crazy sometimes when you tell people about the stuff your kids do and you get the response back “ oh they don’t do that with me “ kinda makes you question your parenting but I found out that were considered our child’s safe space so anything and everything emotional they lay it all on us but I would look into nursery or a childminder just for a few days a week worked wonders for me as they say absence makes the Heart grow fonder, another option is if your child is mobile to take them places to burn off their energy like park, soft play even swimming

I’d try to seek some therapy/ counseling.. I know kids especially toddlers can be a lot to handle but saying that you don’t want anything to do with your kid anymore and live alone is really concerning, especially if you think your going to eventually harm your child because of your feelings… get a job if you want to but you really shouldn’t be reflecting those feelings if you were stable in your own mental health. Hope you get some guidance and that things go better for you because I’m sure your kid needs his mama

He will be feeding off your negative energy, it's a vicious cycle unfortunately. Have you tried to work out why he's crying? As they don't just cry and whine all day
