Hoping all you ladies have some good tips, or advice for trying to remain patient and calm with a testing toddler whilst pregnant (& eventually with a newborn)..
I just over 32 weeks and my 2 year old is definitely starting to enter that “testing phase”. His really not a bad kid, and is generally happy go lucky. But lately the tantrums are becoming more frequent, and all I am hearing all day is “I want, I want”, or “Mine!”, or just other generally nagging/whinging (like whining the entire time you’re making their breakfast or lunch).
I do my best to stay as clam as possible, and not raise my voice, but it’s getting harder and harder to not react, or let it get to me emotionally. I am practically ready to throw him at my hubby and run by the end of the day.
And then on top of all that, I feel guilty about it!!
Please tell me this “eventually” gets better lol?!!
Love to hear from you seasoned mums of toddler and bubs!
