I guess I just get caught up with what others are thinking and saying to me instead on focusing on her.

Either that or they beat their children's spirits into submission. I have an almost 5 year old and a 1 year old and I can tell you, it does get easier when they start talking so they can verbalize what they want. At least that way, they can voice their feelings, and you can explain why they can't have what they want. But no matter what age, no child is perfect. Even adults throw their own tantrums! Don't let others' judgments and dirty looks affect you. You are a great mom!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495796091157215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361277136049990305.post-91025394288585034952013-12-13T07:01:57.506-06:002013-12-13T07:01:57.506-06:00It gets harder to deal with the tantrums when othe...It gets harder to deal with the tantrums when other people butt in and give you dirty looks. It makes me feel like I'm being watched and judged. I hope it gets better soon though. I totally forgot about Wonder Weeks. I'm definitely checking it out now. She probably is in the fussy period. Thank you so much!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767862708171429537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361277136049990305.post-20617710059984595642013-12-13T06:58:04.904-06:002013-12-13T06:58:04.904-06:00Thank you.

It's kind of hard to deal though, I feel pain whenever I leave her crying but then she gets too spoiled if I give in quick. It's so tough but I hope we get through it.

It'...Oh Mama - it's not your fault at all. It's completely normal and means that we have healthy babies, but I remember this feeling vividly! I felt like I had the most laid back baby until 9 months as well! Then they develop their own personalities and melt-down's abound. I'd like to tell you that it gets better, but at 19 months, we still have our fair share. Some days you are able to control them better than others. The dirty looks are the worst though, aren't they!? <br /><br />One thing that I found helpful during this time was to read up on Wonder Weeks. If you Google it, you will find tons of information on it. Basically, wonder weeks are when your little one is about to reach a new developmental milestone - which is great, except that these weeks are typically marked by temper tantrums and disrupted sleep cycles. <br /><br />Hopefully that helps shed some light. When I at my wits end because of her behavior, I would look up to see if she was having a wonder week. She was almost always right on time with them. It helped me understand what she was going through and always gave me a little more patience with her. <br /><br />We're all in this together - despite the dirty looks! :)<br /><br />Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853379122311563772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361277136049990305.post-57899989487623785552013-12-11T10:31:09.316-06:002013-12-11T10:31:09.316-06:00Need not worry!

Around 9 months (same as Kaeyln) he began having these intense tantrums and scream fests. It's totally normal and it isn't your fault. Apparently our babies want a lot more than they can verbalize so all they can do is get frustrated. You're a great mom, don't question that. I hate public outbursts but they are babies after all.
