So Confused.
My husband is convinced our toddler is spoiled. He works, I’m a SAHM.
Our toddler is in the middle of the terrible twos. She constantly tests boundaries, she gets so frustrated she screams and full on meltdown. Because I’m with her all the time, I know when she’s tired, hungry, need a nap or snack, has a poopy diaper or the beginning of a melt down. I’ve been working on distracting her when I know she’s about to go into a fit. When she does, she looks at me and say big beth ( big breath) and will breathe loudly and we both will laugh. She will later come and say I sorry mama.
My husband thinks she’s spoiled. He doesn’t see how much work I’ve done with her to get her to self regulate. Or to even listen to me when I say okay, you have to time out now” without a meltdown. He thinks because she cries when she doesn’t get her way is me spoiling her. I’m kinda frustrated because how else do I explain this is what toddlers do!? She cannot tell me how she feels so of course she’ll act out.
