Hi ladies this might be more of a rant than anything else but I'm also hoping there's someone else going through this. Charlie is driving me nuts!! He seems to have changed almost overnight from a sweet, happy baby into a constantly whining, clingy, angry toddler. Changing him is a massive battle resulting in temper tantrums, he won't eat (up until last week he ate EVERYTHING), won't be soothed by me and only wants his dad which makes me feel like crap and whines at everything. Some of these changes in his personality do make us laugh though he has us in stitches sometimes and can be so sweet and loving when he wants to.

I know that babies can get like this when they get more independent/start walking etc and he is learning to walk more and more each day but I'm just hoping this is some sort of a phase. Me and OH are exhausted and taking it out on each other. This past week has been a nightmare with the screaming for his dad constantly and not eating. I know he's hungry but just refuses most food apart from fruit and yoghurt. I've actually worried that I'm a shit mother this week and that I'm not cut out for this even though I absolutely adore him:(
 
Ur not alone my lil monster is nearly 13 months and is a nightmare to change we also have been having tantrums for over a week now just if he wants something he's not allowed have he also isnt eating but has just cut a back tooth so I'm hoping that explains it but yet it he will eat sometimes for his nanny he's really just trying to test us I thought it would be at least another six months before this all started to happen but he is so funny and keeps us all laughing all day so ur my alone :) it just must be there age ... x
