Counting down
My child goes to the daycare from middle September and last 5 months I can't handle him anymore. He is requesting 50 things per minute, not a single second break. I don't have capacity to deal with him all day, alone. No, I don't have anybody to take care of him, as my husband is not able handle him. Only way how to survive with him is to be outside, but I am so exhausted that I can't do that anymore. I am totally empty, exhausted and I don't have even mood to see him. My husband stressing me only more by being *** every single day. What is this live about?
That is so rough. I'm sorry you're going through that. I hope time goes fast between now and mid September, so you can get a break soon. I wonder what his pediatrician might suggest for managing his energy level while you're exhausted.
With my son, when I can't get outside with him to burn off his energy, I have him run from the living room to a chair in the dining room and back, until he's tired. We also like to toss a small inflated ball in the house, usually just before our bedtime routine.

@frankTortoise7154 that is tough and I hope this phase passes soon. I know how exhausting it can be with kids but sometimes they just seek attention. With my kid, it’s always that I have to sit down and build blocks or be completely present that he then starts playing independently, just sitting down and listening to him does the job.
