I recently did a post on issues regarding my DS and feeding and it did help to chat to other mums and get a positive outlook on the matter and i'm hoping that this time the same will happen and i might get some professional advice as well.
i have begun to hate my behaviour towards my son and am seeing cracks in my parenting skills.before i had him i had it all sorted in the head ans knew most of the stuff necessary to bring up a happy and healthy kid, and i probably still know most of the stuff now, but i cannot apply anything to him...and often resort to shouting at him and forcing him against his will colh heartedly...and then i realise what i did and its too late!i feel like breaking down...whats wrong with me...he is only 14 months and i expect things from him that maybe a 3 year old cannot do!i just dont know how to manage his behaviour...he seems to annoy me most of the time...heres a few of the things he does and believe me they are minor but when he does it i feel like ripping my hair out...he chucks food on the floor, he gets on top of me and immediatly is ready to get off, he hits me on my face as well as my partner, he chucks everything in sight when something doesnt go his way and he has already had three massive tantrums!i know how pathetic!i agree but in the moment it happens i feel he is doing it deliberately...am i going crazy?i find myself shouting at him and frightening him and it then kills me..just today i remembered how fragile and vunerable he was when he was born...and even though a whole month down the line he still is vunerable and is still my baby...so how can i misreat him so much?please help me get out of this rut and better myself and help my son become a intelligent and loving kid.
