Anyone else dealing with temper tantrums all ready? DS has started throwing himself on the ground and screaming whenever he wants something he can't have or when we try to change his diaper/clothes.
Is this a boy thing? DD didn't start with the tantrums until she was 3 and is still having them occassionally. It's a fun time around this house when they throw one at the same time
We try to distract him or redirect him, but he's so darn stubborn! Just wondering if anyone else was dealing with something similar?
Re: Moms of 1 year-olds...
YES!!!!!!!!! I could have written this post myself. Lucas has started doing this, and it's driving me crazy. We just ignore him, and it usually passes quickly.
I was also wondering if other moms were going through this, or if I was just a lucky one.
Luckily Jackson has never thrown himself on the floor.... But I don't think he has ever seen anyone doing that. (your son probably learned it from his brother, monkey see monkey do!) But he does have whiney fits and runs around/accross the room when he is mad. I just 100% ignore it. I sit and wait until he is done, go get him, and do whatever it is I was trying to do in the first place.
Usually that is the end of it... at least for now!! haha...
Good luck!

YES!! Rylee has been doing it for about 4months now though, she started early. She completely freaks out at almost every diaper change, which makes it really hard when we go out to eat. I'm always scared that she is going to launch herself off the table.
As for when we are at home and she doesn't get something that she wants or get frustrated playing with a toy, she will sit and kick her legs back and forth or she will cross them and squeeze, which makes her even more mad cause I guess it hurts. Oh and I think she is cussing my out sometimes too cause she will get this pissed look and gripe at me.
I forgot to add something I do now with DS. When he screams or makes noises when he's upset I say "Do you want mommy to make those noises?" He stops and says "No noises."
I don't think that would have worked when he was 1, though.
