@lookx009 That’s exactly it. He won’t leave a mess if I’m hovering over him and micromanaging him but then it’s no fun for me. He doing lots more of independent pkay which is great and I remind him to clean up ness but that’s not realistic. I’m also constantly cleaning the kitchen I mean it’s...

@tasha93 Nobody is abusive. But maybe I am honestly. I will yell in his face when he causes me intense pain. That’s why I asked on this group bc I’m so full of rage. It’s so painful and I can’t control it. And then I apologize and feel such deep shame for it that I’ll get depressed and then the...

@tasha93 I know it’s linked to him being uncomfortable due to constipation and stool withholding. He very frustrated and I rightfully so but he lashes out. That’s what happened this morning was I asked him to try to poop and was helping him onto the toilet when he just lashed out and hit my...

@meki Hugs to you and your husband. I could very well be dealing with postpartum rage too as I have a daughter who is 5 months. I’m seeing a therapist again yes :)

@lizlugo51 He would jump right over a baby gate lol the only way for him to stay in his room would be to lock his door which I don’t want to do. That just feels wrong. I’ve stood at the door before while it was closed and he will throw his books all over the room because he’s so upset. He’s...

@meki I couldn’t agree more

@kyleeak This is a good answer. For mealtimes, it’s less about him eating or not but more about him sitting in his chair instead of running all over the house or throwing his food or utensils. I’ve tried redirection for this, saying we don’t do that, taking him to a separate room and talking to...

@patriot46 I don’t get it

@dtom Awesome set up! I think you nailed it.

My 3 year old son will hit, kick, slap, and bite if he’s upset. I’m sure it’s developmentally normal and within reason but when he bites, it sends me into a rage. Like I just want to slap him across the face and to be honest I’ve had to stop myself. His bites leave welts and bruises on me. He...

@dtom Can you explain your set up a little better? Are the mattresses both on the ground? What size is the baby’s mattress? Love the set up so much I’m going to screenshot it for when we move.

Also what do you mean by risky play? Like climbing trees?

@sabrina_ I will check out that podcast!

@lizlugo51 I am totally comfortable with him crying during quiet time but he will destroy his room if he’s stuck in there or will just make a game of it by running out and laughing as I take him back into his room. And I know he’s tired but of course I can’t force him to nap. It’s actually more...

Update: did my son read this post? My son went to sleep on his own during nap the day after I wrote this post. No fight at all. He laid down in his bed and cuddled his animals and fell asleep. The night at bedtime was a little bit harder but he really did well with trying to stay in is room at...
