Losing my temper w my 2 year old?!

Question

I need advice, I’m starting to lose my temper with my 2 year old. I’m 24 weeks pregnant, and he always wants to be held, throws fits when I don’t want to hold him, or need space. He throws the wose tantrums. And never listens.😭
I’m also with him 24/7, I barely get a break away from him and I’m going insane. My boyfriend works weekends only and plays video games all week. Doesn’t bother too much about helping out with him unless it’s playing w him for only 10-15 minutes.
Kind of bullshit. 
I’m so stressed and beyond my breaking point, I have mental break downs and I can’t even sleep anymore without taking melatonin or something. I’m going insane, and I don’t know what to do.

Answer

I don't have the problem with the boyfriend part, but I'm a stay at home mom with a 2 year old and I was constantly overwhelmed.  I would cry every single day because I felt like I couldn't take all the touching and the crying and felt close to the edge.  I talked to my doctor and was prescribed zoloft and it's helped a lot.  I haven't cried at all and I have a lot more patience now.  They considered me already having PPD and major depressive disorder and I cried and cried at the appointment because I didn't want anything to be wrong with me and I wanted to be normal.  See if there is anything your doctor can help you with.

Answer

Yes my 16 month old is so clingy, which is fine, how could she not be I’m with her 24/7. I only nanny 3 days a week but she’s with me. There’s basically no separation. But I find myself getting very irritated every now and then when she’s climbing on me and I want left alone, we only nurse 1-2 times a day now, but I can’t stand it. I want a break before the next kid and I get mad when she wants to nurse. Which is NOT fair to her. I hate that I feel this way, and I don’t want her to catch on to those feelings when I do have them. I think I’m just overwhelmed in mommy world cuz its been non stop for16 months. She will be 2 when my 2nd baby is born. I’m hoping we can be done nursing so she can learn a little separation so it isn’t so hard on her with a new baby.

After reading everyone’s post it helped me feel better like I’m not the only one . I have a 3 year old and it has definitely been hard . My patience is way shorter than they where and I’m easily aggravated. I feel bad because I know it’s my hormones but he has also been a little out of hand with the crying and not listening . I’m ready for this pregnancy to be over with so I can get my hormonal balance back .

Answer

I'd have a word with your boyfriend! tell him to get his act together.

Answer

I think our babies are going backwards. my 3 yr old is the same way but she has a lot more attitude with her outburst I really habe to hold my slef together so i dont do something that will hurt her when I reach that point of breaking. the best thing ive done for her is ecplaining to her that if she behaves she gets a treat. it kind of helps with not having outburst but it doesnt help not having to talk to her about her attiude through out the day. if I can go the day without outburst then she has had a good day but if not no treat. also gibing them things to do, things that you need to get done around the house like cleaning rooms doing laundry or washing walls. keeping them occupied helps you get things done. don't cave mommy you got this .

Answer

I am right there with you, only 22 weeks pregnant though, I do the same thing and end up feeling like the biggest POS right after. I think try to breathe and walk away is the best thing to do. You don’t wanna be so stressed out so let him have his way until after you get comfy with new baby then work on putting him back in the right direction. It’s not wroth the stress when they have no clue how frustrating they are. Good luck momma ❤️

Answer
