9 months - I don’t really like this age at all

Skills and Milestones

Everyone I talk to is like this age is great bc their personality is really coming through. Ok well I feel like I need a Xanax to deal with my baby’s personality. He’s basically about to start walking so he wants to get into EVERYTHING and you never realize how unsafe everything in your house is. He cries when he’s put down, he squirms when I’m holding him bc he wants to get down, he’s learning to climb out of his playpen - which he screams unless I’m in there with him. He seems so bored with his toys. He hates being in his walker. He hates being contained in his stroller so I end up holding him on walks. He also throws a massive tantrum anytime he has to go into his car seat and contorts his body in so many ways that I have to literally fight to get him in his seat. I’m so exhausted. I can’t get anything done and he seems cranky all the time.
