He is a picky eatter, doesnt want to listen to me, and he has bad tantrums. Help!!
I had split up with my son father since last fall. Raising a child mostly on my own is hard, especially that i have been working. My son is beautiful and grew up fast. He is 17 months old, and has a bad attitude.
How can I deal with tantrums? How can I try getting along with his father when we are not on the same page in raising are kid?
Sam gives are son, pop, candy, mcdonalds, and doesnt wash his bottles well. His mother is a pain in the rear. She doesnt change my son diaper enough to the point when i have him he has diaper rash. N when I tell my son father, he doesnt do anything about it. I work 2hours away from home, and i have no help from my family. I dont know what to do.
gosh I'm so sorry for the hard times...its difficult when you have to do it all...my little one is also having some raging temper tantrums...we call her the drama queen...when she starts in on a whopper we just walk away and don't give her any attention (that is at home..btw) if we are out we calmly take her back to the car and put her in her car seat so she can calm down, which she usually does then she gets a cuddle...they seem to be getting shorter now...but I notice we get the worst when she is tired, and it's more the time of day and her...not sure if that helps...but good luck...you can do it...your a Super Mom!!!
hmmm have you tryed time outs for your son? My daughter is 19 months and they do work! As for you ex and his mom tell them they better take better care of him because they will not get to spend time with him. Thats a loss they will regret
The temper tantrums can be so horrible. My daughter is 18 months old and just reallyyy started them a couple of weeks ago. She threw one for an hour one night, because a phone died and she couldn't watch mickey mouse clubhouse on it anymore. I have tried time-outs and they work for a short time..I usually just try and walk away and ignore her though. I have heard thats the best option. Than she usually comes walking up to us with her arms up for a hug and kiss and says "sorry"...Any other good advice? And as for men, I am sorry to hear about your troubles. My daughters father does the same things. It doesn't help and only makes her tantrums worse because he just gives in. And I agree with mrs_deg about how to handle the situation
how common is your babies name?
