    Aw, hows it been the past few days? Get the house sorted out?

    Not great.. Rhys cries every time I'm near him. I feel fairly crap :cool: House is getting there, still a lot to do.

    I assume it's probably teething or something normal that all babies go through but he's just whinging all the time he's with me. He's been fine with mum (been there every day Mon-Wed) but as soon as I arrive he starts crying, proper roaring. I'm not horrible to him, I don't ignore him, I sit and play with him all day. Don't know why he doesn't want me :(

    He's just going through that stage. Chris gave me a black eye when he threw a bottle at me, bruised one side of my body by throwing tissues on the floor and I slid and fell on the table, broke my toe (he threw the door open on my foot), all in a week. He really did hate me. I had a dream that he was the Antichrist and projectile vomited every time you said 'Jesus' that week and refused to be left alone with him!

    It passes, honestly. You are not a bad mum, and he doesn't really hate you.

    Are you feeling tired or stressed, or maybe without even realising you're tense around him as you're obviously upset expecting him to cry. Kids are amazing at picking up vibes off us. Does he stop once your Mum disappears?

    All of the above :o No, he just gets worse when it's only us. I'm avoiding/dreading being alone with him at the minute.. will be tomorrow but we've got play specialist visiting in the morning then boogie babies in the afternoon at least.

    I would if he'd eat them but he looks at me like I'm trying to poison him if I give him chocolate or cake! :cool: Might be bribery by mashed potato.. never says no to that!
