Am having a bad day (well lots of bad days to be honest)

It seems like everything sucks at the moment. Have a toddler who has five bad days (tantrums/whining (and believe me this grates on your nerves) and then half a good day. This ratio does not seem to work

Hello ! I have a lot of sym/empahty for how you're feeling right now - my head seems to be exploding at home with Megan as a toddler than it did as Megan as a baby - the days can just be such a frustrating round of one conversation/ tantrum and no amount of distractions cut it somedays.
With the situation you're in I'd encourage you to give a mums and tots group a whirl - generally I've found women to be in the same boat and happy to have a more adult chat whilst the little ones run around like crazy (and they love the contact with their peer group). I usually go ONCe a week and I've had to
miss it this week because Megan and Robyn are both ill - and as she's onthe mend I'v.e been despairing over the difference to the day.

i can understand how you feel about where you're life is at - but if it helps that's where its at for now - things will develop I am sure

HUGE HUGS - you've been so reassuring to me at times i hope i can do the same. Plus where abouts are you we've barely met but if we're ever nearish the same town we should go let the little ones go mental in some funky monkeys/ wacky warehouse way !

ps i was thinking about the naughty cot thing - 1. that's an idea i need to instate soon (cheers). 2. Is he really tired do you think with the teething/ associated cold type symptoms they often get ? megan has actially asked to go bed several times with her current cold you see - its taken me by surprise ... then again it all too frequently leads to broken nights and/or early morninngs ?
can you try rewarding him (stickers or such) for staying in his room until getting up time - someone has suggested it for megan when she's better as she's figured if shw wants me to herself she can wake me up since robyn was born.

and men!!! grumble grumble :D
