Well I worked last week for the first time since Elijah was born & as you all know by now, Elijah was really ill with a throat infection for the whole week. Obviously I still had to go into work as it was only one week I had been offered. It went great for me, i really enjoyed getting out, but have never left Elijah when ill, not even with hubby. My Mum was fine with him but she's not me

Anyway, since ive been home this week, he has started being a right scamp! I cant work out whether it is because he's annoyed & confused that I left him, or whether the tantrums have just started properly now! (Or a mix of the two.)
He has started shouting at me "I dont want it!" "I dont like it!" Really loud & yesterday he pinched me and shouted at me, so I put him straight down and said "no, thats naughty, you musnt pinch" and i walked out. Well this started him screaming & crying. When I went into his bedroom a few minutes later to ask if he wanted a cuddle, he shouted "I dont want it! I dont want a cuddle." So i said "Mummy will be in the other room when you want a cuddle." He was still crying after about 15mins so i went back in and said "its ok you dont need to be upset" after that he let me cuddle him, but hes never been like this before! I think I handled it as best as i could but it upsets me he feels so angry! Any tips or ideas why hes suddenly doing this? Also, if it is just the 'terrible twos' how long is it meant to last?!!! :roll: xxx
