[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you need a Saturday morning babysitter. We had one for a while when the kids were little and it was a huge help. You can stop doing so much for them without outright refusing. When they want something, tell them "Bring it over here and I'll help you" or "I just need to wash my hands" just to delay a few minutes. Often times they will resolve their own problem before you get to them. If they don't want your help badly enough to walk across the room to you, they don't want it very badly at all. A parenting coach can help you with the tantrums. You might be inadvertently making it worse and can change your own behavior much more easily than you can change the child's. (Not meaning to "give in" but there are ways to avoid or handle better.)[/quote]
