I don't know whether to laugh or cry - DS has been excessively whingy and whining all day, which is fair enough, he has just started walking so it probably going through a big developmental leap and a bit out of sorts, but by the end of the day I was just OVER it. Tried to cook dinner (burnt it due to DSs demands) then tried to put him in his high chair to eat - TANTY time!! Decided it wasn't worth it so let him sit on the floor while we ate at the table, despite the mess it was all going well......

..............................UNTIL I dared to leave the table to get him a tub of yogurt from the fridge, he cracked it, started throwing himself on the ground etc, after trying to cuddle him, settle him etc he threw the spoon at me.

Stupid I know but this was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak, Showing my maturity I threw his yoghurt on the floor - OMIGOD!! What a great example to set Naomi!!!

I scooped him up (still in anger) and took him for a bath, all hell broke loose, his tanty turned into a meltdown, he was trying to bang his head against the tiles and after about ten minutes of heartbreaking cries, my naked whimpering baby finally calmed down. My stupid reactions caused this, I have no idea how to handle tantrums - they are relatively new to us.

I suck!!
