Radio silence here these days due to massive work and I literally want to drop kick my computer into the Intercoastal and go to the beach instead of work today. Instead, I’ll work some more and maybe blog and THEN drink heavily until I pass out.
We’ve entered into the toddler fit era of life. My almost 2 year old is not terrible by any stretch. (Although there are a few people who were lucky enough to witness him at his most loving and patient time ever thanks to air travel and lack of naps… can we say overtired and cranky? Good times). In general, during regular routine days he is a good kid save for the occasional “oh mama it go bye bye” type incidents with the toilet. He does however have fits which are short lived and are over things I find totally comical. Is it bad I laugh when he lays on the floor with his head on his hands screaming?
We have fits over things like not getting an apple fast enough and being pissed I cut it up. He wants it WHOLE dammit and he wants it NOW. I can’t wait until he is 16 and gets told no he can’t drive the car to Target to buy that inappropriate t-shirt. That should be fun.
Do they make ludes for mothers?

It’s called beer. You can get it over the counter.

The toddler fits are so funny. My 17 month old literally lays on the floor and weeps when certain things don’t go her way. She likes to lay on one particular rug in our back hallway that my husband I now call “the weeping rug.”

I really didn’t think he was that bad. I mean, by your standards he was bad, by my standards he was a toddler.
But the flip flop incident was comical.

Funny.
I take Xanax. Seems to help.
Maybe its time for daycare? Time alone for you is not bad. Maybe you have a project that needs to be done pronto, but the boy needs his apple a certain way and can’t communicate it to you among other things that need your attention.
You would not be a bad mom if you were to take your sweet boy to child care two or more days a week during business hours.
Just my 5 cents.

So you’re saying she’s a shitty mom because she doesn’t put her son in daycare? Maybe that’s my problem.

Yeah. They’re called ludes. Or, you know, we could go with Joelle’s “beer” idea.
