Oh man, well i hope it gets better because this is killing me. i was feeding chino on the bed this morning and evie climbed up next to me and we were having a nice time then out of nowhere smacks me right in the eye - i thought i was going to have a massive bruise. anyways i pushed her away as a reflex and of course felt terrible. she is so up and down. her 2 bottom eye teeth are almost thru so i know thats adding to the situation.
I really need some gentle parenting tips for how to deal with her. i told dh we should be mega-praising the good and telling her off once and then letting it go for the naughty things. but i feel like all we do is tell her off! the good bits are way way outweighed by the bad bits
i just want my girl back
meanwhile, i have the dream baby. sleeps and eats, sleeps and eats. evie is still sleeping in our bed at night, but i swear i wake up more to her than i do to him!
have you tried the "naughty corner"? I have done it with aston, and I had to say that it works. the warning is all i need to do lately. having said that - tomorrow is another day, and it could all go pear shaped.
Evie is testing your boundaries hun. plus the adjustment from being the only child in the house to having to share mum and dad is big for them. Laura gave me such a hard time with nathan was born, loved nat to bits, but gave me heaps.
in times of immense stress for me I use this mantra "this too shall pass".
Tara, Emelia was the same in the beginning..she would be fine one minute then the next would act out and do naughty things to get attention which was understandable but very frustrating. we did the praising when she did good things and that made her happy! i did let her get away with alot of things which was a terrible mistake cos now she can be very difficult when im trying to tell her no.
i just had to make sure i involved her in everything i did with Jack as much as i could anyways, now she is a big help...its a hard time but soon it will all come together its just Evie adjusting to the new routines. your only human hun and your doing a wonderful job
tara sophie is really testing the boundries as well!!! seriously she has changed over night!!! adn does everything naughty with the cheekiest grin on her face!!! im tearing my hair out, that and bad day sleeps!!!
so tired, bad bloating and today was the first day of no m/s!!!
Another boundary pusher here...but i ignore it and she stop...naurthy coner doesnt work here...Chelsea finds it to fun...and theres no place in this house that cant entertain her!
