My kid became uber dramatic and weird overnight

[Deleted]

I mean, he is my kid...he has always been a little weird, but the past 24 hours make me wonder if there is a developmental milestone going on. He is so dramatic; fake laughing, fake crying, mega tantrums over the littlest things. This morning he took his diaper off in anger because I wouldn't let him suck on my makeup brush. Like, he took it off, laughed, brought it to me, and threw it down at my feet. Oh, and yesterday he expressed regret for the first time.

Have others had this sudden emotional/manipulative explosion? I'm exhausted from all the emotions!

The screeching. Oh, the screeching. Abby was never much of a tantrumer, but Caleb screamed at me in wailing tears because I wouldn't let him have any goldfish after dinner. At least, that was the last tantrum of the night. Can't remember the others, but I'm sure they were for equally justifiable reasons.

Evan goes from being happy and laughing one second to crying and screaming the next second.

[showdogz]

Not that extreme but it is kind of funny.

We are feeling ALL the feelings over here, too. It looks like backstage at drama tryouts most of the day. For some reason, it's amplified when Daddy comes in from work.

Yep, it has really gotten worse the last week or so. Yesterday she was crying and laughing pretty much at the same time

OMG that is hilarious about the diaper!

Pey is an emotional bipolar wreck lately. But she is having a HUGE language explosion along with it.

Did he become a 3.5 year old girl? :-)

Evan is still mellow for the most part, but has his moments. We were at my dad's last weekend and I took away the cloth wipe spray. He ran to the bedroom, screamed and slammed the door. We ignored it so after a minute he opened the door, screamed, and slammed it again. Teenage years are going to be awesome.

[charmediamsure]

Yep. Right there with you. We are busting at the seams with toddler angst over here.

We had this angst last week before a tooth popped, then a week of lovey, huggy, happy baby, and now it seems we're back to FML baby again.
