I’m male. I coparent. I have my kids (a 2 year old, and a 5 month old) on Sunday evenings while their mother is at work.My 5 month old cries, as most babies do. I try to go through the checklist: too hot, too cold, change diaper, feed a bottle, too loud, change scenery, or anything else I can think of.Tonight nothing worked. None of the things I did helped. He just kept crying and crying. I reached my boiling point, I had had enough.Their mom came and picked them up and took them home. I love my children but I was glad to see my 5 month old go home with his mother.I wish I knew what I did wrong tonight because he wouldn’t stop crying. I tried to remain calm, but at a certain point I’m human too and I start to get frustrated.How would I be better able to manage this? What could I do better? I’m trying all I can think of but none of it works. It’s at the point to where I honestly just can’t stand being around my son when he cries because it’s so loud and irritating and I can’t seem to be able to get him to stop. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2U09M98
