I’m feeling down tonight and questioning my parenting. 🙁 I feel like such a bad mom. I get so mad at my child for throwing fits for no reason. I hardly play with him cause I’m on my stupid phone so much. It’s just i don’t know what to do while playing with him cause he’s usually off doing his own thing. He doesn’t want to cuddle with me or anything ever. I see all these other kids his age laying around sometimes with their mom walking fully and he’s just starting walking. Idk it could be he’s just independent but I feel I could do better but I’m not sure how. 😭

What about engaging him in some activities? I don't have a one year old, but was told its great to get them into asking them for help (aka, lets go clean the kitchen! Let them play with Tupperware ect) at least thats what I've been told and will do.

You're not alone. My son is in full tantrum mode some days and has started biting. I feel like a failure because I can't make him happy.

You’re not alone at all. I find myself getting upset at my 1 yr old honestly most days. My son will throw tantrums and throw things at me or head but me. Bite me. So yes I get frustrated and I won’t let him on my lap till he calms down. Sometimes I even put him in his crib for a few mins so I can go outside and calm myself down. Don’t get down on yourself. Each milestone in our children’s lives is a milestone in our lives as parents. As they learn and grow we have to adapt. And no one tells us how to do it. We have to figure it out on our own. Just always remember at the end of the day. Our children love us. And we love them. Bad days will happen but better days are ahead.

I feel bad for it as well. And eventually I end up being mad at myself for my son just being a 1 year old. It happens.

It was the same with my daughter. She wasn’t super interested in playing with me she was always more interested in exploring everything. Made me feel bad! I’d just do patty cake and stuff like that to get her attention she loved the singing. So maybe try that🖤

He just started walking so this is something new and exciting for him. He probably doesn't want to be held because he's excited to practice this new skill. When he's playing with his toys, get down on the floor and play with him. Read to him and even if it seems like he's not interested or paying attention, he is definitely listening to every word you're saying. Don't feel bad mama. Parenting is rough and no one is perfect so don't be so hard on yourself. If you were really a terrible mom, you wouldn't be on here reaching out for help. Give yourself a little more credit. 💖

I’ll try the reading to him I never do cause he never seemed interested but thank you ❤️

I used to do that with my son. Before I knew it, he'd actually started pointing at and bringing books over for me to read to him.

Acknowledging that u can do better is a start. So starting tomorrow do better. We all get frustrated and distracted we're human. Jus get down to his level and find toys like puzzles r small cars and trucks to play with while down there. Pray for guidance!
Good luck!
