Not sure what i want to gain from this post. I guess i want some advice, support and a bit of a vent so here goes.

DS is 5 months old and is getting a bit impossible. Love him to bits but lately it is impossible to leave the house with him. The problem mainly stems from the fact that he is a bit of a creature of habit and doesn't sleep very well outside of the house. Although lately he doesn't seem to sleep very well in the house either lol!! He gets really over tired and gets really upset which in turn makes me really upset. I have been in tears so much lately because of this.

Ds is a pretty big bub and i find it difficult to hold him for long periods so if we are out and about i find it very hard to rock him to sleep for a bit of a snooze. He is ok in the pram but will only usually go down for one really short nap which doesn't really help his mood. Plus if we are somewhwere like mothers group where there is limited space i cant take my pram in. I know i should stay home with him more but a get cabin fever staying at home all day and i feel in a better state of mind if i get out and about so i need him to learn to be a bit more flexible in his sleep environment. I just dont know how to do it.

Lately he hates the car and screams and screams all the time in the car and wont go to sleep like he used to.

Im not sure as well if he is maybe getting teeth which is causing this crabby behaviour.

Im at a loss and dont know what to do. It seems like everyone other than me does a better job of keeping him happy and its not good for my self confidence. He seems to always be on the go (without actually going anywhere obviously) and i often feel like he loves dh and his grandparents more than me as they can have him giggling uncontrolably (sp?) but i cant. What am i doing wrong. How do i relax and just go with the being a mummy flow. I get so stressed about making sure he has had a sleep feed etc before i go out that i think i make it harder for myself.

why am is such a useless mummy??? Why dont i know my son yet??
