Pain in the ass toddler...

Anyone else? My 21 month old's new favorite word is "no" and she is super clingy. I'm thinking of selling her.... 

I hear it's because she can sense the new baby, but it is super annoying!

Re: Pain in the ass toddler...

  • I vote that you sell her so she doesn't have a mother who calls her a "pain in the a**". That made me cringe in sadness.
  • I have a 2 year old and 3 year old. Sometimes they do frustrating things, but I would never call them names to their face or behind their backs. They are babies. I love them. I am cringing now to think other people call their babies names too. My 3 yo is currently sleeping on me after crawling in my lap interrupting me while I was trying to do some charting for work. I am happy to have the cling. Work can wait.

  • OP, I feel you. I didn't think about the whole sensing the baby, kind of thing. Now, I wonder if my 4 year old stepdaughter has been acting like the spawn of satan the past few weeks. She's excited about the baby, but I really wonder if it's got something to do with that. 

    Just the other day, I was mentally begging to my husband to take her to his parents or outside or anything other than my kitchen. I asked her twice, "Els, pick up your shoes and put them in your room please. I'm trying to cook and I keep tripping over your shoes." She blankly stared at me like I was speaking to her in chinese. My husband asked her the same thing. She responds with, "I don't have to, my Mommy doesn't make me." So then for the 685435452135th time we have the whole, "This is Daddy and Shel Shel's house.....yadayada." She then finally picked up her shoes, turns around, walks TWO STEPS and drops them in the floor then runs to her room and slams the door screaming, "NO!" So frustrating. 

    Lately, everything from eating dinner, peeing in the potty, and going to bed is exactly like the above in some variation or another. She is constantly battling me and it makes my heart hurt. Christmas Eve she informed me that she "doesn't love me because I do nothing for her." I give her my world. Step parenting is hard. Pregnant step parenting is harder. :/

  • Oh sorry. I forgot. Calling innocent babies names is totally cool. What was I thinking. I will change my answer:

    My little bastards are always asking for hugs when I am trying to watch tv. Don't they know that I need my time to be me and be free? Little jacka**es. I should just dump them at the firehouse. Who needs unconditional love anyway. Argh!! You with me??

    If you're not here to support please leave. This was a mother simply. Venting about be frustrated. I highly doubt your kids never get on your nerves. She didn't call her kid names she used a descriptive word that you got your panties in a bunch over. God I don't have patience for people who are holier than thou today.

    Would you have been just as upset had she said one of the following:


    My toddler is trying my nerves
    She's driving me insane

    Or called her a:

    Brat

    They all mean the same thing, just different wording.  I don't understand why you're so upset about this; she's just venting.
    Exactly wording matters. Like the difference between calling a woman a "unpleasant lady" vs "bitch" vs "cunt". Some words are inflammatory and uncalled for.

  • I was in fact, trying to pack her lunch. I usually let her eat and then I tell her to go away while I watch tv. LOL

    I'm still fine being here. As I've said before, it is nice to come here and see how people outside of my circle think. It is not the same as how I think. Please spare me the "go to babycenter" speech. If you are all fine with calling babys such mean things, g'on with your bad selves. It won't make me cringe any less.

    once again there was no name calling %-(

  • OP I agree, DS has been totally clingy, it can definitely be exhausting having a starfish stuck to you. He's in a stage where he can't walk on his own yet so I have to hold is hand everywhere he wants to go or else he throws massive fits, this goes down all day long. I'm running out of things to do with him, he's never been the type to entertain himself.

    @Flashy‌ DF and I say the same thing, except this next one will hopefully be our "easy" child!

    I agree with other pp, being a parent is hard and definitely tests your limits sometimes, venting to your SO or even other parents is healthy IMO, and it doesn't mean you love your child any less! No one said anything about calling their LO bad names to their faces. We're all adults and sometimes use adult words or phrases to express ourselves.

    Well we know what assuming does.
    Makes an ASS out of U and ME
    ASS-U-ME


    Ooh good one. Except that I was not assuming anything. I read that she thinks her toddler is a pain in the a**. That's not nice.
  • @chelseaamb11 I nearly fell out of my chair when I read, "I'd bet my left boob..." I'm not sure why I found that to be so comical. I guess because my left boob is bigger than my right boob ATM and its the 'chosen one'. Bahaha. Thanks for the laugh. I needed that this afternoon!

    I believe you are 100 percent a hypocrite in denial

    I like it. Can you make me a song about it? It would be very catchy. Make sure to credit me for the idea.

    Yup, I'm not nice. Pretty amazing you can infer that from one post.


     In general, she's an amazing kiddo and I couldn't imagine life without her. Currently, yes, she's being a pain in the ass. Sorry, not sorry. 
    Maybe should have added that love part to the first post. It was pretty unclear in the midst of wanting to sell her.
  • I couldn't give up my left boob, that seems to be my good "producer".

  • I didn't see a joke. I saw a person who genuinely thinks her child is a "pain in her ass". Do I think she wants to sell her baby? Most likely not. Do I think she sounds extremely ungrateful (especially if you are someone who has suffered from infertility)? Yes. Therefore, I am cringing again.

    So do you think women who are having terrible pregnancy symptoms and complain about them in the symptoms thread are extremely ungrateful as well? It's not fair to expect women who haven't experienced infertility or already have children to hold up to a certain standard of "gratefulness" and not talk about how difficult pregnancy and parenting are because they didn't struggle to have children. No one here is not thankful for their children or their pregnancy, infertility or not.

    Lots of people most certainly are entitled and ungrateful. Just because you use a baby board doesn't mean you are grateful. I will not ever be persuaded that it is okay to call your child a pain in the a**.

    It must be really uncomfortable to be cringing so much. Maybe you should spare yourself the discomfort and stop reading this post.

    You are right. It is making me feel like I need to poop with all the faces I am making. But no poop comes out! Really frustrating. Kind of a pain in my a**. Like babies.
  • Wait, so a person who has a child after infertility/loss can't have regular human emotions?  That's the kind of thing that keeps women with PPD and depression from getting help.  

    This. I had a loss before dd and I love her very much but like I said she can push my buttons. Just because someone has infertility or anything like that doesn't mean they can't vent about everyday frustrations. It's better then taking it out on the child.
