Tell me my five-year-old isn't ruined for life
Since turning five, my son has become absolutely intolerable. Everything is a battle or a meltdown. This morning it was because he couldn't have ice cream for breakfast (we don't even keep ice cream in the house). Yesterday it was because he didn't want to wear a jacket on the walk to school (we live in Canada - it's -25 celcius). He says hurtful things when he's upset - that he hates me, hates everyone, hates our house. He takes 45 minutes ro get dressed in the morning, and any time I pop into his room to give him a gentle nudge he yells at me. We try gentle parenting, we try discipline like taking away toys and play dates. Nothing seems to stick. I'm at my wits' end. I spent the whole past weekend crying in my room while my husband parented because I just don't have it in me. I love my kid, but lately I just don't "like" him - at all. He is rude and difficult, and he's slowly but surely chipping away at my mental health. Please tell me it gets better.
