I remember when my sons were little and understand your frustration.
My family doctor advised me that when I felt at the end of my rope to put my son in his room with the door closed and go into the living room and put on music and use earphones if I had to so that I would not hear my son yelling.
He was hyperactive and yelled a lot. It did him good to learn that we need some alone time. It was very difficult at first and I cried about it but It became easier after a few days. It became a habit for years for us to spend our own time apart for about a half hour every day.
He learned to entertain himself. Don't make it a punishment. It is a time for him to play by himself and a time for you to calm down.
I am praying this works for you.

Veronica perhaps there are some groups in your area for single parents. You could always go there and meet up with other single parents and let the kids play together. If you are feeling stressed or frustrated try not to take it out on the little one as they don't understand why you are reacting the way you are. Best of luck.

The first thing I would have to suggest is you need to look at why you are stressed. Find the answer to that and you will find there are solutions to your problem. I have bought up my two sons for 8 years by myself and all I can say is that it does get easier as they get older.

Try to figure out what's most important in your life! the things and people who are stressing you out or your little guy! then make a decision which ones need to be givin' up so you can have some peace inside! praying helps! meditating! Saying"this too shall pass"!

Your child looks to you for love and guidance , it is your place to provide that. A lot of people go through stress, but they need to learn to handle it, not take it out on those around them, It's part of excepting responsibility for your life and your child.

Is there anyone who can help you out with your son, eg. your mum?
This is work stress coupled with kids stress......very tough. You need to ensure you rest enough and if someone can assist you in taking care of your son, it could help you cope much better.

is there any way that you can go to the gym and take your stress out there? or walk away from him and scream your head off or punch a pillow or whatever....and then later tell him that it's not him you were just upset and show him lots of love....

firs of all calm down.. nothing will solve ur problem if ur so stressed up and frustrated.. ur just making the situation even worst... kids are really active specially at an early age... u were a kid once.. so what do kids wanna do.. play... u can do it... relax... bring him to a fun arcade.. have fun with him...

The only thing to do is your Best! That's all you can do. Just like your saying now. Just know every night when your child is asleep. Think to yourself, did I really do my best. How can I improve this situation. Trust me it will get worse, until there around 5 years old. Just do the best you can do!!!!!
