Disappointed

I feel like i am failing..my little one has so much energy, is a bundle of joy and just feel like i am holding him back. He would like all the time to get out and run and i don’t have the energy..there is always so many things to do..from changing him to feed him change again , wash dishes, clean the floor..clean the house, wash clothes etc and while i do all this the tv is on most of the time(another guilt) and i am just tired..When we get out , he doesn’t want to stay in the buggy, he wants to run and i always find it so stressful when i am by myself as he is screaming 😔 he is very curious but i cannot manage the buggy, holding him or run after him, he also doesn’t want to hold my hand to walk he will just run in the street..and all of this puts me off..i try to get out w him every day but some days i just cannot mentally..i don’t know what i want with this message..maybe just to let it out 🥹

I could have write this. Same… exactly, word by word. Only difference is, that I have a daughter

@Gabriella i am sorry you are going through exact same situation..😔 i feel bad most days about this but also i am stretched to the max and feel like i give whatever i physically and mentally can . I hope the situation will improve soon for you 🙏probably when they understand a bit better..i am hoping will be easier.

Have you tried a backpack? My son loves the backpack as he can see better what’s going on but when he gets out it’s easier to handle him as I’ve still got 2 hands. I’m looking at getting some reins, a bit old school but I think it’s going to be necessary as we have a bolter 🤣

Highly recommend reins! Makes a huge difference if your toddler is a big explorer as he can’t run off

@Sarah I was thinking about reins too , i ll give those a try 🤞thank you x

@Heidi i will get some reins , thank you 🙏

I had the same exact issue with my son (he’s almost 5 now). It was so hard. He was fully out of the pushchair by about 18 months and that was after months of him kicking and screaming and me carrying him home whilst pushing the pushchair with one hand. Get some reins for when you’re out and about. Honestly, they were a lifesaver. We had the little backpack ones. I’ve just bought a lightweight sling carrier from Senarah for my daughter, just incase she decides to take after her brother!! it’s brilliant and permanently in the bottom of the pushchair xx

@Kate Omg i have the same issue with him , my back is done.I will get some reins , i also bought Senarah carrier but managed to put him once only and start kicking that he wants down 🙄he wants to be walking and running non stop , i think was he’s dream to walk honestly..he started at 10 months..and since then is non stop ..is soo hard.
