It's so bloody hard sometimes, and I really feel for you. Littleboy 2 has terrible tantrums – but only with me – like Kai in company he is an absolute angel. But he frustrates me beyond belief sometimes. And it's exhausting, and so hard to keep one's own temper (I rarely do). Tell yourself this too shall pass. x

Oh man, that is so hard on you. I can't believe how you can stay so strong! 20 minutes of a mild whine had me close to a temper tantrum of my own today, and it was only a whine. Annoying and constant, but only 20 minutes. I don't think I could cope with an hour long tantrum, you're amazing.

*big hugs* You're bloody amazing! I have no idea how I would cope with that. Well done and hang in there. You're right that it will pass but until it does keep yourself sane, do what you need to to get through it *hugs*

Hugs, it's though.

We decided that our children were allowed to throw tantrums, and that they have the right to be upset. It doesn't mean we don't care…nooo, nope at all. But it means that we don't take it as personally. But that being said, at time, it can be really nerve wracking …

Holy Moly, the head-banging sounds HORRENDOUS! Kai went through a very bad phase a while back but it didn't get that bad, now it's a bit more half-hearted (he's not daft). I would really have struggled with that

The hyper-sensitivity has always been the biggest issue here, something I've written about a lot before. And coupled with the lack of speech? Well what the hell are you supposed to DO with them? Everything in their world isn't quite right, but they can't TELL you what's wrong so you end up two steps behind all the time. It's impossible.

Anyway. It's always good to know someone else going through the same stuff, misery loving company and all that

Well comrade. Good luck. It's good to know you on the journey anyway. Here's hoping we survive it x

Crazy. Yes. I shall waste away to nothing at this rate as I cope by running and working and forgetting to eat. Jesus, it's not like I'm particularly sane at the best of times is it?! xx
