Totally normal. I'm not a mum but I've been a nanny for 11years so I know part of the frustration. ...but I don't have to deal with it 24/7 like you and other parents.
Best thing to do when you're close to losing it is put bubs down and walk away. I'm no advocate of controlled crying or crying it out, but if you need a bit of time to calm down, for your own sanity and for baby's safety, it's ok to put bubs down and walk away for a bit. If you're stressed, it's going to be harder to calm bubs because they sense your emoy iond and respond to that.
Do you have family or friends who can babysit while you have a bit of you time? Have you got any medical diagnoses for the crying or are you just one of the lucky ones with a fusser?
I know it doesnt seem like it now, but it will pass.
IIN that I want to chunk my child through a window?
