[quote=Anonymous]OP first off as every mom with multiple kids swear - your kids will be totally different!  Usually opposite experiences.  Always one hard and one easy!!!  The harder the easier vice versa in fact!

So dont assume it'll be repeat if another. My kids are polar 180 in every way.

Next, every kid has phases.  Also the harder earlier sometimes will become most talented/successful later.  And they will changed. DD is now 10 and pretty much stuck to me like glue.  My best friend and I love her to death.  But she always preferred me v DH.  DS was very very attached younger to DH but now in MS he looks to me for support.  Ironically while DS has ADHD and anxiety he was much easier than DD who was a lot harder younger.  Now he needs more help than her.

Just illustrating that it's hard to know what will happen as they get older.  Do get him checked out per pp on neuro issues but keep in mind as well it could also be personality and age driving some of this.  They change so much through the years and it will always be something. I find it mentally exhausting now but less physically challenging for example.  It's sports and activities and school and vacation planning nowadays which is just as hard if not harder than chafing them around.  Every phase is something but at least there's variety 😀 you should try to go away for a few days and give him to DH cold.  Break the cycle of you being there.  Maybe a nightmare for DH but it sounds like if you are around the cycle wouldn't ever get broken.  DD never slept through the night either until 2 1/2 years old or so.  She is great now can sleep like 11-12 hrs.  So another example if changes. Good luck![/quote]
