If the threes truly are more terrible than the two

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I'm done for. DS has been a complete mess the last few days. It's all day, every day whining, from the moment I get him out of bed until the time I put him down at night. Naps have been non-existent. He's barely eating, but constantly begging for food and drink, which he immediately discards if I give it to him. I swear to God, if the cat farts in the other room DS has a meltdown. I'm about to have my own meltdown.

Hold me.

yep, something is wrong - does he have his 2 year molars?

Sounds like there might be something else going on but with my oldest, at age two is just when it starts. The terrible twos felt like they lasted all the way to 4.

I thought it could be teething or ears too, but he doesn't act like this when H is home. I think he just hates me right now because I'm boring old mom.

:-( I thought it was supposed to get easier!

We can hold each other, smace!

I do think some people experience terrible 2's at 2, it's just mostly at 3. H was an angel at 2, 3 was when it hit for us. Maybe you're getting the tough part out of the way early.

Can I make it a threesome? DS has a meltdown over every.little.thing. these days. Sometimes I look out tge window praying for h to be home asap

My DD just turned 2 on Wednesday, and it is like a switch has flipped. She doesn't use words anymore, just constantly whines, from when she wakes up until she goes to bed. I seriously considered putting ear plugs in last night while I was making supper, I thought I was going to go crazy. I gues it at least helps to know you aren't alone.
