Parenting after 35

Terrible 2s

They have begun.  And I know the 3s are worse but these 2s are worse than with DD.  DS is a STINKER!  Man, it is good he is cute because I'm ready to pull out my hair with this deliberate disobeying, testing and now hitting (which gets immediate correction and timeouts).  Oy.

    I agree with it being good they're so cute since M's right there with T. When he's in a mood I swear it takes all of my strength to keep from breaking down in tears :(

  • Yeah, you did see my post from Sunday, right?  :)   Plus, C's a redhead and he has that reputation for being a handful, too!

  • I think boys are worse than girls in that respect :) J is 4 now but it's getting harder and harder to control him even though it should be the other way supposedly. The baby seems easier, though it's still too early to make conclusions since she is only 8 months old.

  • I'm not sure if I'd rather have the two's or the three's. K is still acting up since S came, and it's far from cute. I am not impressed that tantrum two's turn into wordy arguements at three. The arguements get quashed here very quickly, I don't want to keep Advil in business more than I have to. But I'd rather have a tantrum two than a surly teen. Hang in there!
