I’m so done with this parenting business.

I’m the first one to admit that I am an impatient person. But even so, I tried the whole positive reenforcement and firm voice and empathetic approach and all those. I tried encouraging good behaviors and I tried timeouts.It’s not working.I just dragged my 30mo from playground as he literally threw himself into the sand head first and rolled around while screaming because another kid was playing with yet another kid’s toy that he wanted. He is really strong and I cannot even pick him up without getting hit or strain my back from trying to picking up a kid who is moving with the force of a giant tuna fish out of the water.Edit) I brought a whole bagfull of his toys. No, he doesn’t want them. He wants other kid’s toys. Argh.Eventually we did the whole “wait your turn” and “share” and thank yous and please. Then he wants to run off with this stupid toy, almost ran into the street. When I stopped with a firm voice or yelling at this point because he is about to dart off into the streets with cars, he threw the toy, rolled 8 times in the grass. When I tried to grab him he kicked me in the gut as he was flailing his arms and legs, and threw sands in my face. I’m already getting bruises on my arms and stomach.He cried the whole way home in the car. Like, wailing. Full on screaming.Even at home on normal days, he takes rejections badly. His first instinct is to scream and fuss and cry. He doesn’t say what he wants. He just throws fits.I’m so done. I want to walk out. I feel like I’m going to turn into one of those monster moms. I’m at a point where I’m yelling at him to stop but i know this is the wrong approach and he probably doesn’t understand me anyways.F this parenting. I don’t want to hate my child but I’m definitely hating my dealings with him right now. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MvhyWG
