I hate the terrible twos

[ohgillian]

Y'all are scaring me. DS isn't two yet and we already get lots of tantrums.

Since turning three it was like a flip switched and EVERY THING became a battle with him: clothes, meal times, going to school, going to activities he normally enjoys, getting him in the bathtub. I know he's just testing boundaries and limits but he knows how to push my buttons and it works! lol.

YES! DS loves to argue with me about every little thing.

He also insists on doing everything I do (pour milk, flush the toilet, etc) along with me so the simplest tasks take forever. It's cute, but I have another kid I have to, you know, feed and change and keep alive and sometimes I just want to get shit done and move on with the day.

3 has been worse for us. The emotions are all over the place and she can communicate much better now. Just keep your cool and let them work it out! Hang in there!

Same here.. 2 was a walk in the park compared to 3 so far. But I've been told 3.5 & 4 are really great!

I'm not sure any age is better, they are all different. My little two are 2 almost 3 some days they are awesome and other days I want to alternate between screaming and crying. My 4 almost 5 year old still gives me the same days.

I would say about 25% of the time DD has AWFUL tantrums, sometimes not even provoked by anything. Those can be very trying. However, the other 75% of the time she is delightful so Iknow I have to ride out the tantrums until my little sweetie comes back. I have also learned that I am not nearly as patient as I thought I was.

three is a a nightmare.

Three sucks and I am praying 4 is better.
Also having 2 tantruming at the same time is he'll because they feed off each other.
