I know at the end of it all someone is gonna tell me that only I know what the right thing to do is because she is my child and I know best.

I don't. She's 2 and at the moment having the biggest scream fit ever. In her room and i refuse to go to her because she had just been really abusive about 10 minutes ago and it was really getting to my head.

what is the right thing? I tried letting her throw her tantrum on her own, i tried talking to her nicely down at her level, I tried holding her in my arms but she wants none of it. and her tantrum didn't stop. it just escalated.

It started at nap time. her usual nap time. Sleep has always been her biggest enemy but things are better in comparison to when she was a baby.

I sleep with her for all her naps and her night sleeps from the time she was born till now.
this can take between 15minutes to one hour.

you know that gentle parenting stuff.

well i think its turned her into a monster. especially nap and sleep times. thinking OOHH SHE DOES EVERYTHING TO GET ME TO SLEEP. IM JUST GONA MAKE IT A MILLION TIMES HARDER EVERY NOW AND THEN TO SEE IF SHE WILL DO SOME SUMMERSUALTS.

thats how i am feeling.

shes still screaming. im still ignoring.
i ahve scratches from her today and i dont hit or smack her so I don't know where this abusiveness is coming from.
Most times we are good friends but nap and sleep times she tries very hard to make me an enemy.

Now i wish I leep trained her. I wish I taught her that she doesnt need me to do a gazzillion things just to rest and have a good sleep. I iwsh i did that CIO thing to her wich ppl seem to detest.

I have a 6 month old to care fro too and on top of that I am in my first trimester of pregnancy.

tell me something.

anything

now

thanks
