Parenting: Dad is the child’s favourite!

First question is this.

I have a child who's just gone three.

He is generally a happy kid, but recently what used to be the odd tantrum have gone into high gear.

Bedtime used to be straightforward enough.

as it could be, but now it's taking up to two hours of delays, tears, hitting, screaming, etc.

I try a bath.

I try play on the floor in his bedroom as a wind down.

I try to stay calm, but recently it's been hard.

I try taking some toys away.

Not worked either.

I got kicked and my hair pulled when trying to put PJs on one night.

Also, it tends to be focused at me.

When dad steps in eventually... we know the eventually, my child screams but calms down.

He has just been toilet trained and also moved to a new teacher in Creche.

His last one was unreal, amazing.

His new one isn't very personal, not sure what he thinks of her.

I'm just telling you this because you often question have there been any changes.

I'm now dreading the night time battle.

I'm an older mum too so I carry a lot of guilt and always blame myself for a lot.

As I never think I'm doing the right thing, that's a story for another day, have you any advice at all as it's starting to cause serious issues at home? Also, I've never written to anyone in my life like this before, but I listen every Wednesday.

Oh, look, there's a lot.

I mean, I also noted the word eventually.

I do.

I think we all did when that came in.

A couple of things.
