Terrible twos?

Warning: this is pretty much just a stupid vent on my part.

 DD has been....let's say a challenge, lately. I am sure it is just normal terrible two-dom setting in but honestly by the end of the day I am ready to collapse and I am getting nervous about how much worse (if it can get any worse) it will be when #2 arrives next week.

She has eaten almost nothing today because every meal and snack time is a battle and I am sick of it so I told her "this is what I'm serving, if you don't want to eat it then you can wait until the next meal."

She is into EVERYTHING which is nothing new but it is just exhausting right now. I'm trying to get things ready for the baby - wash things up, freeze some meals, etc. and I feel like I can't get anything done.

And she did not take one nap for me this week. I can tell that is just making her crankiness worse but I honestly don't know how to make her sleep. Even if I lie down with her or sit in her room with her she will not fall asleep even though she tells me "I tired" and rubs her eyes. Argh.

She also peed twice and pooped once on the bathroom floor this week. I am not even attempting to broach the PTing issue with her now but she will ask to go to the potty, so I take her and as soon as she sits down she says she wants off, so I help her get down and then she stands there and pees on the floor like two inches from the toliet when she has peed in the toliet numerous times before so I know she knows how the whole thing works.

Anyway, I am just uncomfortable and tired and felt like complaining so thanks for listening :)

  • I really feel for you, especially that you're pregnant and about to have a newborn.  My DD is wild.  She throws fits like no other and has gotten back in the habit of trying to claw, hit, bite me when she's frustrated.  Pottytraining over here is fun, let me tell you.  She's pretty good when we're out in public, but she doesn't exactly tell us she has to go when we go places.  She holds it, and I have to make sure I take her.  BUT, she also had two accidents today when DH took her out.  At home she's pretty good, but she will blatantly pee on the floor at times.
