How do you deal when your child stresses you out.....

If your kid is still in a crib and you're getting that mad that you need to ignore them then you're doing something wrong.

Quoting Mommy2LNS:

I put him in his crib, shut the door, and ignore him for a few minutes.

As long as you're not expressing your anger in front of him, I don't see anything wrong with it. Some babies push buttons on purpose, some don't and being a single mom is hard work.
Don't worry bout that anon, a 9 month old will learn that "when I do this, I get a time out from mommy" and they will eventually stop that behavior.
I have to do it with my 5 month old. We're learning 'nursing manners' so if he bites me, I put him in a safe spot for 1-2 minutes. He doesn't do it again for at least a week. It's called cause and effect. Keep doing what you're doing :)

Quoting Mommy2LNS:

Funny. My son is the happiest kid I've ever seen, so I'm sure I'm being a GREAT mom. :)

Thanks for you time, bitter bitch. Have a nice day. ¦]

Yes, you are doing something wrong. Continue to be a shitty parent, young single mom making excuses for yourself. Continue the cycle of shitty parenting. BRavo!

Quoting Mommy2LNS:

No, I'm not doing anything wrong. He is nine months old, and he drives me crazy sometimes. It's part of being a young, single mom. I'd like to see you post UN-ANONYMOUSLY saying that doing what's needed to be a good mom is wrong.





Any other moms have a problem with my parenting style, shove it and fuck off, cause I don't care. I WILL continue to parent MY way, not yours.

Obviously you've never had a colicy baby... 

Way to be a rude, judgemental, ANONYMOUS bitch. :) I'm sure your kids are proud.

That's what I do with my daughter when she throws a fit for no reason so I should try that on him. Thanks for the suggestion.

Quoting SLOmommy:

If discipline isn't working, try flat out ignoring the bad behavior. Only acknowledge him when he's being good and borderline pretend he's not even there when he's being bad. It sounds like he's trying to get attention (new baby and all) even if it's negative attention.

Just an idea... He won't do it if it has no "reaction"

Quoting allycat82080:

These are great ideas. I just had my third child 3 weeks ago and ever since I came home from the hospital my middle child, he's almost two, has not been listening at all. He's such a sweet kid when he listens so it breaks my heart to be yelling at him all thje time. Time outs don't work on him, he thinks it's a big joke and I don't like to spank but sometimes I feel I need to but even that he just laughs at. I don't know what else to do. I know he'll get better but for right now I'm at my whits end sometimes and I wind up crying.
