Has anyone else heard this? I read about it before and then someone I was talking to today mentioned it to me again. Basically, what I remember reading was that children go through difficult periods ate 2 1/2, 3/ 1/2 and 4 1/2 and then are back to normal at 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Sam has been so much harder to handle lately. We'll put him in time out and he would rather stay in there than come out and say he's sorry or settle down. We had to leave our playgroup early today because he would not settle down and play nice. I just joined the group recently and was so embarassed. They probably all talked about me once we left. I basically just can't get him to listen to me and I've never had this problem before with him. I'm so frustrated and my patience is shot!
Re: DC difficult at half ages? (2 1/2, 3 1/2, etc)
Oh that would be great if it were true. L an the girls are at their 1/2 ages and are giving me a horrible time. The girls just wont sleep. (always did before, now its a constant fight for naps and bedtime) L is just all around mean.
Now if we can only make it to May 13th L will be 4 and May 24th K&K will be 3. Then maybe we will have another happy 6months and I will forget about the past 6months.
Oh, good Lord, I have until October! Please let it be over before then!
