pulling my hair out

Hi! i think ur not the only mom feeling that way.u will have atough time handling your 1 year old and certainly when carrying a 6 month old baby.your 1 year will require lot of attention,support and commitment from ur side.Actually u shud have delayed ur second child by atleast another 2 years.

well.. all mothers undergone that situation!! lol..its not only you..and its true patience is the key word for all of it..

You're certainly not the only mom that feels overwhelmed at times. I raised my son alone and spent many hours with activities, taking him to the library and park. He was a very easy child to raise, because he didn't always test me and he listened and minded what I said most of the time. I was 25 when he was 2. Now I'm 57 and his son is 2. I babysit all week for him while his parents work. He is constantly testing me, saying no, trying to hit and climb everything. The whole house has safety latches on it.... and sometimes he still works around them. Last Thursday, I wanted to just put him in a rubber room and close the door for the day. Frankly, I love him to pieces, but he was on my last nerve. Nothing was agreeable. I've talked to my son and daughter-in-law about coordinating our discipline, so we are consistent. Sometimes.... You just need a BREAK! It's nothing to feel guilty about, after all we are only human and the brightest children seem to require the most patience. Good luck to you and your little family. If you have a close friend or family member, just put your feet up for a few minutes during your little girl's nap and give them a call. A nice cup of tea helps too. When my son was young, my cousin and I used to chat almost every day.

No, you are not alone in this! When my daughter was that age, I was going through a divorce, I had a tubal pregnancy, lost my job, my apartment and my cars. It was very difficult to deal with at times and I felt like I could break down at any moment. That and your child is going through changes into the terrible twos hahha! Oh, what a wonderful time. I would definitely work on the hitting. My daughter went through a biting stage at one time. I bit her back one day and she didn't like that. It broke her of the habit though. That little nugget of mine, she bit me on my neck and my face! Oh, it hurt! Those little teeth are not pleasant!

You are not alone. I have a two-year-old and am eight months pregnant. My son is at the age where he wants to do everything himself, even things he really can't do. But he throws a fit if you try to help him. There are days when I feel like I just can't take any more. It seems like I used to have more patience with him. Sometimes I think maybe it's partly the fact that I am pregnant and my hormones are different. Or maybe it's the fact that I am tired a lot more often now. Try to make some time for yourself each day, even if it's nap time or after bedtime. I know this is easier said than done, but it really can help.

No, you are definately not the only mother to feel this way. We all do at times. I know how hard it can be. I have 3 kids on my own. When their father left, my eldest was 4, next one was 10 months old, & I was 7 months pregnant. He took off & didn't help me at all. I've coped on my own (I've never had a break) so I have had many days when I've felt like giving up, felt like I just couldn't be a mum anymore. But ... I remind myself how much I love my children. I focus on the joys they bring me. I wouldn't change a thing. When your daughter hits, give her a firm smack on the hand, with a very firm "no!" Take deep breaths & try to stay calm. A one year old is very good at testing the boundaries. If you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to message me.
