BR: My child is driving me crazy today.
I've never felt this way before, lol.
He didn't sleep well (meaning I didn't sleep well), I don't feel good today anyway, and he's being a royal PITA. You know that saying "I have to love you but I don't have to like you right now."? Yep, that kinda sums up my day.
Toddler mommas, tell me you've felt this way before?
Re: BR: My child is driving me crazy today.
LOL. So glad I'm not alone.
Seriously, usually I love being with him all the time but right now I'm feeling like that would be a good idea.
It doesn't help that DH is OOT until tomorrow so in my head I'm dreading the rest of the day/night as well. Sigh!

16 read! my read shelf:
That makes me feel worse ...
for the times that I want to just hit his off button when I am "spending time" with him.
:-/
Me too but it also makes me be like "hello, this is Mommy time, shape up, Kid
Don't you want to spend happy fun time with Mommy?".
Last night J had a temper tantrum and hit her head on the stairs flailing and screaming for Daddy while I tried to wrestle her upstairs for a bath. I burst into tears. I was like "fine, take her. it's my half hour a day with her and she wants just you. Fine, great. Door slam".
It wasn't pretty, but she hurt my feelings - - so it goes both ways sometimes I think too
Aw, we have this happen in our house too. I get so frustrated, upset, sad, teary, etc. Last night Z didn't want me putting him to bed, he even pushed my face away from him with his chubby little hands. Finally I just threw him at Mike, okay, I didn't throw him, but you know what I mean, and followed that with some my-feelings-hurt-kind-of-words.
Then Mike says to Zac, "Tell mommy, love you, night night Mommy."
Zac's response, "No."
It happens to all of us.
And it hurts the same.
:-/
Happens to me too, and I'm a SAHM. Dan has been putting N to bed since I can't do it very comfortably anymore and the other night I decided to give him a break and do it. Well, N didn't want me. It kinda broke my heart too!
Kids are stinkers.

I've felt this way at least once a day every time I'm home with her for the whole day. As I get further in the pregnancy and she gets further into the 2s attitude, it gets more often.
My boring blog
Oh, I so feel you. I've been working on a blog post about this so other moms can commiserate.
Nora has been a BEAST lately. A BEAST, I tell you.
She is throwing temper tantrums like it is her job. Need to change her diaper? Temper tantrum. Need to put her in her high chair to feed her? Temper tantrum. Need to put her in the car to go somewhere? Temper tantrum. Pick her up from daycare to take her home? Temper tantrum. (That last one feels REALLY good as her mommy. Yay.)
The other night, she simply did not want to do anything. Didn't want to be picked up. Didn't want to be put down. Didn't want to go in her high chair to eat. Didn't want to play. We had to just lie her on the floor and let her scream. She was rolling around, kicking her legs, kept looking over at us for dramatic flair. It was like 15 minutes before she finally calmed down.
I don't get it. I thought this crap wasn't supposed to start until they were 2?
But I'm with you--until recently, I was always one of those sickening moms who enjoyed pretty much every minute with her kid. Nora was such an easy-going, happy infant. Now? Not so much.

Sounds like my evening with Liam every night:( Weekends are better, he has his moments but he seems to do ok when he is with us all day. On the evenings, where we only have like 1.5 hours max to spend time with him, he is a nasty pants and it breaks my heart. Thankfully, he still likes me to snuggle and sing to him before bed.
Hang in there, toddler mamas!
From talking to some of my other friends, I'm thinking it *might* be a girl thing. Don't even get me started on the screaming/shrieking. Girl is hitting octaves that I never knew possible. Michael has taken to calling her "Mariah Carey." My ears are ringing just thinking about it.
It's just a good thing she's cute. I'll leave it at that.

Nope. It's a boy thing too.
Zac has the ugliest whiney cry. He gets so worked up over nothing, and then we call him "Farrah" because he's about as attractive as she is when he starts getting all dramatic.

Ha! Good to know that boys can be "diva," too.
