i have a 26 month old DD who it goes without saying i love with all my heart. Shes amazing and full of character and so funny but sometimes I feel like i'm not doing right by her...
She is hard work and takes a lot of discipline and trial and error, she prefers to run around burning off energy than to sit and play with me, and if i try and take her any were like swimming or a toddler group she spends the whole time testing me and pushing boundaries. Because of this I sort of feel like we never have any good quality time together because a nice day out turns into tears and tantrums.
I mostly have a lot of patience with her but sometime I snap and shout at her like tonight I feel like ive felt the whole day shouting at her and now shes in bed I feel very guilty but dealing with a toddler and a new born is tough and some days are harder than others.
Her and OH have a wonderful relationship, they run around mad playing and laughing and I just feel like the one she tests and the one who disciplines, and its starting to get me down...
Although I'm the one she comes to first if shes tired and upset and we do have a close bond I just feel like I haven't found the right balance of enjoying time with her, I always try and sit and color, or teach her her numbers etc but shes just not interested at all...
I dont even know if i'm making sense or getting my point across and dont even know what im asking really... maybe if anyone can relate to my ramblings? feeling like a bit of a crap mum today
