Honestly don't know how I will cope!

My dd is 15 months and driving me crazy!
She used to be a really good sleeper and now it is such a battle every time. I am starting to get so frustrated with her behavior. She has started throwing tantrums already and I seriously don't know how to control her sometimes! I wasn't prepared for this to have started already and thought I had a few months before she would start throwing herself on the floor screaming every time she didn't get her way! How do you keep your sanity!? Not sure why I wrote this just wantedto vent my frustration, I am going insane, thank goodness for work tom - never thought I would say that! Hahahaha :doh:

Sending big hugs and sympathy, they are feisty at this age! My 15 month old head butts the ground when he doesn't get his way! Ride out the poor sleeping, a day will come when it's no longer an issue, in the meantime I have grown used to sleeping with a baby lying cat style over my head, yanking my hair as his sleep aid... People have stopped commenting at work that I look tired, it's a permanent look these days!

Fwiw I found fifteen months one of the hardest ages because it's such a shock. Then it was smooth sailing for us until this week at 2.5 yrs...the meltdowns have become epic.

I just try and remember calmness is control and role modeling and distraction are the keys to moving through the day.

Not sure how you stay sane, I am too far past that point! :rofl:
Certainly wasn't there when all three of my kids decided to chuck tanties together and I literally had to drag them across the floor of the pancake parlour back to their seats. (little mongrels have figured out that I can no longer pick them up, being heavily pregnant and all - and they thought they would get away with it because 'dad' wasn't there to make them behave.
