Yup! Parenting is hard work.

Yup? Apparently reading comprehension is hard work for you, too. She’s a SAHM with a nanny and a DH who works from home!! OP stated clearly he couldn’t get more attention and I believe her.

+1. And it’s good for me to read this as I don’t have your SAH status or nanny (I’m envious but good for you). I’m exhausted by posters saying my three yr old needs more attention when we are giving every single moment we have and she’s still mean to the baby. You give your toddler ever waking moment and he still behaves like mine.

+2. Plus no screens or kid junk food! OP has like the DCUM perfect world for raising kids!!

I’m the pp who said this is normal. I’m also a preschool teacher. I see this
behavior every year in the classroom, and if I don’t see it there; then a parent is reporting it from home.
