I don't want to be around her

I'm sitting here at 5.30am after a night of DD2 screaming. She woke up at midnight and screamed, literally screamed non stop until 2am. I was at my wits end last night and now that she's woken up only 3 hrs after the whole episode I feel like I haven't had enough time to get over it. She woke up whingeing as usual and I just don't want to deal with it. I don't want her near me. I am so angry. Last night wasn't about her being in pain or sick or anything. She just didn't want to go back to sleep. She tries every trick in the book to get me to go in there and she lost the plot because I wouldn't let her have 'no more sleeps'. Im in tears because she's pushed me to my limit and I don't like her at the moment. I love her but I don't want her near me. I feel so awful for feeling this way. She's so beautiful and when she's good she's wonderful. But not right now. Not sure where I'm going with this...I'm pretty sure I posted a similar thread a while ago....this phase of parenting sucks

No advice, just some commiserations.
My DS has been a terrible night time tantrum thrower. At his peak he was waking 3-4 times at night and screaming for around an hour each time. It is for no real reason- he wants the other parent, he wants no blankets/blankets, he just screams and screams. It drives me mental. He is 3.5 now and does it only occasionally now but during the (really freaking) terrible twos he was nasty. Combined with the 1-2 hour mega tantrums that he would throw several times every day, I didn't like to be around him either.

Thank you so much for letting me know that I'm not the only one. She is capable of being an angel. I just keep telling myself that things will go back to the way they were eventually but the guilt I feel is horrible. I guess I wouldn't be much of a mother if I didn't feel this way though....

DS was the same, when he was good he was the most perfect, compliant, sweet little boy - then the wind would blow the wrong way or something and he would turn into a hell child!

This too shall pass!!
