I'm in agreement Rhona, having such a hard time with one child is by no means a reflection on you being a bad mother! As you know I have 3 older kids, I have raised them all with the same amount of love and discipline, yet the middle of the 3 I can't trust with a barge pole, and often feel like nothing I say or do gets through to him. And again, Fred and Winston are totally different as well. A full day with just Winston is playful, fun, easy going, but a full day with Fred (until the digger was up) is a nightmare, nothing keeps him entertained for long, he has bitten, scratched, spat at, and well definitely ignored me. But finally having really stuck at it solidly, with no margin for 'a little bit naughty', he has started responding. It is hard going whether you are on happy pills or not, but having pnd just makes it all seem so much worse. It's great you have a support system with your hv etc, not sure what to suggest with childcare, but Good luck with getting everything sorted (you first). tc xxxx

hi,im sorry i dont think theres much else i can add.i agree with what everyone has said and i think that by no means is this a reflection on you as a mother or woman.
im thinking of you xxx ps,i dont think banning the playroom is too harsh at all,have you thought about having 2 boxes-ask him to fill one with his fav toys...and have the other empty..every time hes naughty take away one of his toys and dont allow it back till the next day...?
