Difficult age

in October 2011 Moms
This was a rough weekend.  Seemed like DS was always grouchy, took short naps, kept pointing at the TV to watch a Baby Einstein video and as soon as I'd start one he'd shake his head that that wasn't the one he wanted.  When we'd be in his room playing he would suddenly get irritated and just leave the room.  Also, he's become a nightmare during diaper changes.  He never wants to do them, won't lay down, then he starts kicking and hitting at me!  Luckily it was warm this weekend so we could go outside a lot and that helped, but oh man.... Also, he woke up from 1:30-4:30 last night.  Is this a difficult age for everyone or is DS just being a grouch?

    Very difficult.  Lots of frustration on both sides I think.  B has NEVER liked diaper changes so I have been battling that for months.  I think some of it has to do with language development and communication.  For example, B can sa

    I hear you.  DD is usually pretty good (minus being wild and running around) but yesterday I took her to a friend's house and she threw two tantrums because she couldn't have more corn muffins (she had already eaten two!) 

    She was NOT

    I took DD to the park this weekend and we were having a good time until I decided that we should go on a carousel ride. She cried because we had to wait in line, she cried halfway through and wanted to get off, she cried when it ended because she didn'

    I try to remember that there are times I don't want to do what I'm being asked or forced to do.  I just have the self-control to not throw a tantrum.  Our LOs just haven't learned that skill yet.  :)

    Definitely a difficult age, but also a really rewarding one.  I'm trying to focus on the wonderful moments of watching her figure out something new and all the new communication she's capable of, rather than the tantrums and times when we're both

    I have a feeling we will be having this same conversation in about 12 years or so.  I kind of feel like we have mini rebellious teenagers.

    Yes, it is difficult on both sides. I think part of it is that DD has more independent thinking about what she wants to do, but isn't quite able to express is verbally to me which leads to frustration on both sides.I don't know what she wants to do and

    It seems like they are all so demanding, emotional and reactive these days and require so much attention and patience.   

    I will have to say though that DD was acting really out of character last week, having been very irritable and cra
