@themusicgoeson Yea that's true. I think breathing is definitely going to be a better option for me. I appreciate all the advice. This stage is so hard! I hope we get through this quickly

@themusicgoeson I have thought of it but I really hate the idea honestly. I just feel like it creates too much of a barrier between him and I. It makes me worry that he will notice it one day and feel like I wasn't fully invested in helping him. I know I don't bother talking to people with...

@katrina2017 That's the opposite of what we are doing so what you've said doesn't really work anyways. He doesn't ever get rewards. For his behaviour and the snacks are just there to make sure he isn't hungry I don't give them during a tantrum or after I just mentioned that we have them and he...

@idontadamandeveit Yea if they say he needs it then we will definitely look into that

@idontadamandeveit Thanx I'll look. Yea that's definitely on the list, something I'll be talking with the doc about later today. But it also takes so long to get in with a specialist or even a pediatrician where I am it's better to be on the list than need it and wait. Canada has great free...

@gmasweetart Yea I'm sure it's all normal. It's just so difficult! For the sleep, were you cosleeping then transitioned? Or do you still cosleep? We have a sidecar setup that he likes and usually uses, but lately he's been having night time separation anxiety so that's not been helping either...

@viktoricus Though I will check that out! I just started "raising your spirited child" I believe the second edition, and omg is it relatable!!

@bemmmy We do have some grandparents near by it's just hard as they're much older and we don't see them much so LO isn't super comfortable with them. But there is a local babysitting Facebook page I've been looking at and considering hiring a sitter for a few hours a day so I can have a bath or...

@1gazza Huh wow ok that's definitely something I'm going to have checked out! Thank-you for the insight

@1gazza I've wondered this but I haven't really seen any other signs that would point to it... Is that possible?

@breety Hmmm yea that definitely could explain some of what's happening. I like the discussing the day part and I think I'll implement that. Sometimes I do walk through what happened after he's claimed down and always make sure to apologize for and discuss my reactions if it didn't work out...

@jimishasmom Lol yea it's dad or nothing... Except at night now so of course when dad's trying to give me a night off LO still needs me to help settle in the middle of the night. 🤦‍♀️

@jimishasmom The wanting dad part is during a meltdown or not. So I don't think it's just that, if dad's around I'm not required lol. He actually seems to get frustrated faster than I do during the big meltdowns.

@jimishasmom Yea I'm starting to think our outings are going to have to look a bit different now. Overstimulating seems to be a consistent trigger. Hubs does take him as much as he can and helps all the time. And usually if all 3 of us are together it's him that deals with the tantrums because...

@2reshane I love the idea but I personally just can't handle talk like that. The whole cape thing would have me turning it off. Which sucks because I know there's probably great advice in that but I do a lot better with facts and statics rather than talk that more aligns with how I would talk to...

@chrissygerzen Yeap looking into that! Thanx for the advice

@ceden55 Thank-you. I try to remind myself of that during the hard stuff but it can be so difficult.

@rakitha Yea exhausted being the key word lol. I'm sure there something going on. And I'm trying my hardest to get him the help he needs. I have yet another appointment with my family doc to discuss other options on Sunday. I'm on Canada so the process to get to a pediatrician or any specialist...

@wmc385 I found that book so condescending and just annoying to read. Honestly I'm finding it hard to find a parenting book that I can actually get through... I have definitely tried and researched and read everything I can get through so far. If there was a summarized version of that book I'd...

@salvationislord Thank-you for the kind words and great advice. Honestly I've meant to journal and just keep putting it off for sleep lol. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a little hsp as well, that's definitely something we will look into if this keeps going.
