I'm pretty sure my kid hates me.
He's fine when other people
are around, but as soon as grandma and grandpa leave, or daddy goes to
work-- he screams inconsolably.
I chocked it up to teething or a
wonky nap schedule the first couple of days, but it has become a very
consistent pattern of happy and content around everyone (the kid doesn't
know about stranger danger) and wailing miserably when left alone with
Mama.
I'm a nice person. Really. I am trying very hard to be
accommodating to your needs, and comforting to your fears... and patient
and loving even though I am tired and heartbroken.
But all I get is anger and tears and gnashing of teeth.
Well, there would be gnashing of teeth if there were more teeth to gnash.
I
am still holding out hope though, that this might all have something to
do with the aquisition of teeth and not as much with an innate hatred
for a small one's maternal parental unit.
Sigh. Tough break.
I tell you what.

Again, I'm sure you are WAAAY beyond this, but Ethan screamed all the time with me at this age, too. :) I think he was just bored...the next 2 were so entertained by their siblings that they were much happier... except during big sibling naptime, when they got grumpy with just boring ol' mom again. :)
