please tell me my child wont hate me and things will get better?!
Our lives are completely and totally upside down right now. were in the process of renovating our nEw house and moving out of our apartment.
We (my dh and I) have been spending endless days/nights there till 1am trying to get done. So renovations are done and now were in the process of moving but its taking 3 days. Dd is still sleeping in our room at our apt because its a one bedroom. I'm completly exhausted taking care of her all day and then going to the house to work from 9pm till 1 am! So by the time 7am comes around and abbys up I'm exhausted.
Her schedule for the past. Month is wake up 7am change diaper get boTle put her back to bed and she sleeps till 9 thenb we get up for the day. She doesn't ever eat breakfast just her bottle. So this morning was unlike any other morningg I do the same thing except she's screaming after her bottle so I pick her up and take her to lay in bed with me. Well my babby doesn't cuddle or relax, she proceeds to slap me in the face, pull my hair, bite me and then pinch me so hard it drew blood. I'm now in tears, I'm 110% stressed out. Thers no place safe for her to play at the apartment because we are living on an air mattress, we have a tv and her crb nd high chair! That's it! A few toys. ( This whole shinanagains is normal for her which is where I'm at my wits ends). So I need some sleep as lastnight the work went till almost 230 am! So I kiss her give her a few toys a bottle and put her in her crib. I feel awful I haven't stopped crying I got no sleep, she's playing nice in her crib but I just feel like she's being neglected beause its the only safe place for her to play while I sleep or get packing. I don't want her to hate me or feel like I'm not giving her enough attention. If I'm packing and he's in there playing I'm 100% interacting wuth her but my heart can't help but break! I feel guilty if I try and get some sleep. It. Breaks my heart when she crys because she's used to crawling around being free!
I know its temporary ( we sould be done with the transition by this weekend) I. Just don't know what to do. Maybe I'm just complainging. I just need to know that I'm Trying to make a better life for us at our new house and this is a small price to pay to get there and that she won't hate me for it.
As far as the acting out I just don't know what to do. I'm very very consistent with being stern and telling her no but she giggles and thinks its a joke and goes back for more. My mom thinks she could be doing this because she too feels like her world is upside down, she did it a little before all of this but now its 10x's worse! Any suggestions?
Sorry this is so long thank you if you've read the whole thing!

Meg - I can totally relate to where you're coming from as we're in the middle of a large renovation at our house too. DD literally spends most of her day in her PNP playing unless we're out and about, because there is no safe place for her to play. Just keep in mind that it's only temporary. She will not hold this against you...

I can't promise she won't hate you when she gets older - teenagers usually do hate their parents.
But I will promise you that a one year old won't remember a thing about this move.

Re: please tell me my child wont hate me and things will get better?!
awwww Sweetie!!! You can ALWAYS drop her off here ya know? Even for a a few hours, few minutes, anything. We have tons of toys and are used to the maddness! and Noahs awesome with babies! You have my number? Anytime, I'm serious, don't feel weird asking ok? I would love to do it! To see my cutie Abby  And if you ened help at the new place, me and DH are here!
As far as sleep and whats happening. It is OK. she wont remember this at all. Your doing the best you can do and thats enough if not MORE. So just vent and let it go. Trust this will all be better so soon!

Awwww just remember how resilient and adjustable babies ar3e. If she is not freaking out daily she is fine! It is temporary and as soon as you get in your new house it will be a faded memory

This is a totally temperary thing. It happens. A lot of pple have gone through it and will. We eventually plan on moving and there's going to be chaos and disorder for a short time. B4 you know it you'll be in your own home
She's not even going to remember any of this. Heck, give her a toy and distract her she forgot already.
