I just want to let you know that alot of people understand how you are feeling. Though I've never wanted to take Jamie back to his breeder there are moments when he makes me want to scream. But thats nothing new. People feel like that with skin babies. Its easy to get overwhelmed. There are several things that will help you. First of all belly bands are great! While they aren't a full time training tool sometimes they really do save your sanity. Secondly (and this is where the belly band will come in), you MUST wear him out. Playing with Jamie is the one this that has made things easier on me. He can only go soooo long before he needs to lay down and rest. Heck if you put a belly band on him and put him on the floor he'll probably tire himself out running zoomies around the house. Then put his favorite treat in his crate and put him in there for a little nap. Be sure and put a blanket or towel over the top of his crate to help him relax and sleep.
Also I don't know how old he is. But from the time we got Jamie til he was almost 5 months old he was in a Graco PackandPlay with his blankets and toys on one end and his potty pad on the other. Because from what I've learned our babies can't learn to hold it until they are around 16 weeks. Now matter what you decide, good luck!
