Hi,
I am a mom of a 18 month old boy.
It can be very tough, he can go from a really good day to nothing is going to make me happy in less then a minute. me and my partner work low pay jobs to make sure he has everything he needs from diapers to clothes, yes it sucks but with not a lot of jobs hiring there's not much we can do. While we try our best i can say we really fall short, as almost all new parents do sometimes. But what really it just the iceing of everything is the backseat parenting we get from both grandparents " you should let him walk around the house with his blankie" or "you should get frustrated when he doesn't want to clam down". I find it hard and hurtful when they say these things, not only because i feel like i am giveing it my all but because it makes me feel not good enough to be a mom.

Hi! Do you love your child? Sounds like you do. So I don’t know you but let me tell you: you are doing awesome! Keep your head high. None of us are perfect. All we can do is our best!
ReplyAs a parent and grandparent I can say this: grand parental advice is from someone of experience, so while it may not be what you end up doing, take the advice into consideration after all they could be right. however, i imagine a lot of grandparents also like to spoil their awesome grand kids so maybe they just want him to be happy and have everything he wants (mostly i think it is just them remembering what they did and "wanting" you to follow suit) but ...you should still know its okay to stand up to those "ideas" you don't necessarily agree with, i think it all depends on you.
and if you give your child all the love you can you are already doing better than others - don't worry. be encouraging, supportive, firm but fair, and loving above all. toddlers have a way of throwing fits and making it seem like the world is going to end one minute and being all lovey the next...they're testing their limits, etc. fact is, each child and person is different, we have different ideals and methods to our own individual madness.
