who's toddler is really hard work?
I love my LG, I do she's my world but she's so hard to please
she's a terrible sleeper, she always has been, I feel like we make progress and then she gets a new tooth and we go backwards. currently she's in a cot in our room, wakes twice a night for milk (screams and screams without it) and then at 3/4 she gets in to bed with me (again goes crazy if I try and leave her in the cot). I'm exhausted
shes also super clingy. she won't go to anyone. if I'm in the room and settled she'll entertain the idea of talking to / playing with dad but no way would she sit on his knee. if I leave the room she cries and chases after me. to make dinner the two of them sit on the kitchen floor watching me. it's awful for poor oh to. he works super hard and long days but tries with her she just won't have it
she's barely interested in toys. she has a very short attention span. she'll play with her toy kitchen for 10mins and then it's on to the next thing, always with me I might add she won't entertain herself but mostly she just wants to play with things that aren't toys and climb around on dangerous things and throws huge tantrums when I don't let her. I'd be happy to sit with her toys, she's got loads with loads of variation but she just gets bored so quickly and wants to do something naughty like empty the kitchen bin.
are other kids like this? I've got friends with kids the same age and it just depresses me hearing how they've slept through for ages and how they'll happily sit with this toy or that toy and even play on their own. I mean I don't expect her to play on her own much it would just be great if I could make a cuppa or shower. currently I can't shower on my own as she climbs onto the toilet and it's dangerous so I have to wait for oh to come home and the two of them sit on the bathroom floor or she's banging on the shower door
I can't say it's a phase she's 15m but she's always been like this, always. she just seems so angry all the time and has a meltdown at anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
anyone the same? or have any suggestions?
