My two year old said he hated me?
I know this will make me sound over-sensitive and ridiculous so please don't point that out. Yesterday my son was very difficult for me to handle. Everything was a reason for him to throw a tantrum. Every demand I didn't give in to caused him to throw his toys around. throw his furniture (wooden) around and at my furniture, attack me and kick, punch and pull the dog's hair. Towards the end of the day, I couldn't take anymore. I ended up not just raising my voice but screaming at him to stop his bad behaviour and to stop hurting the dog. I yelled at him that if he tried to hurt the dog or break/destroy his toys and the house, I would pack up all of his toys and take them away. I also told him that I was sick of him acting that way and that I couldn't take anymore. I really was at breaking point. After my outburst (that I regret ed immediately), he threw his chair over and yelled out hate, hate HATE mum-mum. I was so stressed I just burst into tears which upset him and he came over and hugged me and said sorry (he was better behaved after that). Today when I said i love you, he said it back to me for the first time (usually he just nods his head and gives me a kiss). I'm still surprised and upset about what he said yesterday though. I know older toddlers say such things but he only just turned two. Hearing him say he hated me really hurt? Has your toddler said something similar to you?
