does anyone ever wish their toddler was a baby again?cos i cant wait for my 20 month old to get to about 3!!sounds awful, wishing her life away!i know some who say "oh i wish ......... was that age again" but i really never have felt that.i see new born babies now and i dont go all broody.i even feel sorry for the parents!! do you think this might be due to the fact my daughter was terrible with colic and i have really bad experiences? i dont think i ever want anymore!!lolthe thought gos through me and makes me cringe!!does anyone else think like this?!!!lol x

Get over it and have lot's more kids.

hi there i had post natal depression when ,my son was about 6 months old although he was a good baby .i feel like that sometimes but he is generally good i know some of my friend s feel the way tou do its prob becaiuse youve had such a hard time im sure it will pass,im lucky i suppose ive not had any problems with my two year old ,do you think you could have a slight depression cos they say it can set in at any time ! she will improve im sure if you have any major concerns see your health visitor she might be able to shed some light on the situation.hope this helps!!

Yes. I felt that way after my first son. He seemed to scream all the time. It really affected me at the time. They do not come with books telling you what they want. You will get over this feeling though. Do you have help at home with her. Not all babies are like this. Only you will know when the time comes if you want more children. But for now I think if you had some help you would not feel so overwhelmed. Maybe put her in day care a couple hours a day to have time for you.

Yes, I think every parent does at one or other stage. Do not feel bad. I hated the stage between 18 months up until about 2 and half years. There were so many communication errors between me and my daughter. I didn't understand what she wanted and they get frustated. They also have to learn how to handle their feelings and in the prosess you have to work through a few temper tantrums. NOT NICE. But then suddenly everything fell into place, she knows her boundaries (altough she still tests them sometimes), we understand each other and they are turning into their own little persons. You are almost there! Just remember that every stage has is own advantages and disadvantages. Some people are better with babies and some are better with grown children. I have never been a babies person, and enjoy my bigger child immensely. I will definitely have some more children though, as no two children will ever be same and I do love her so.

lolI'm happy not to have my child be an infant again because she had reflux and it was a nightmare. glad to have her be a happy healthy 3 1/2 year old who loves life. plus who wants to go back to changing stinky diapers.

yes my daughter had really bad problem getting to sleep on her own in her bed and had colic too, now she's older i find it alot easier and would never wish for her to be a baby again, sleepless nights are a thing of the past and i don't miss them one bit, my experience with my daughter been a small baby has put me off having anymore kid's.
