lol this has become more and more obvious to me! Apparently I had it easy with the older 2, they were nothing like this at this age! Holy cow. This little guy is making me bonkers. He pushes every button and has a smile while he's doing it. So since I am a rookie at terrible 2's, when does it get easier? 3? older?

Hehe! My sympathies are with you. My eldest two were little angels when they were that age! Now my daughter on the other hand.... blimey, how i've not sold her on ebay I'll never know! She'll be three in October and is showing no signs of growing out of it! In fact the older she's getting the worse her mouthis getting! "It's not fair! Leave me alone! I don't like you!".
LOL! If I were a first time mum I would think I was doing something wrong! But I can't figure it out with her! Perhaps it is something to do with being the baby of the family. Her two older brothers do tend to spoil her a bit!
Good luck and I'll be watching to see what others say here!!

Erm...soap in the mouth! I think that's a little harsh! I would only resort to that for swearing, and that she doesn't do!

Some children are just more passionate and strong willed than others. My oldest was an agel compared to my baby. He's only nine months, and throws fits like a 2 year old, throwing himself down on the ground, kicking screaming, crying hysterically if he doesn't get his way! (:
If he were my first, I would honestly NEVER have another Baby, EVER!!! (: I think some children are just bound to be more difficult than others, and you just have to tighten the reigns a little, to keep them in line, and try your best to teach them to be respectful, and obediant at this age, because I wouldn't even want to think about them out of control as a teenager! (:
Good luck!

Let me begin a story by telling you that the terrible two's are nothing , believe me you want them to act out at two because there is nothing worse when you have a two year old who is as sweet as can be and never bad and then they turn four and all hell breaks loose lol . My son was the perfect two year old and I used to brag about how lucky I was but then he turned four and became a nightmare for getting into everything and a four year old can cause more havoc then a two year old lol . One morning he went down and found a pair of scissors and brought them up to his room , he cut up all his clothes , his blanket set that was Nascar racing ( which was not cheep ) for his birthday , his sisters dolls , the hair on the cat and his own hair . I sat down and cried when I saw what he had done to his room , there was nothing the scissors had not touched anywhere to be found . He innocently looked at me and said , I didn't do it , must have been Sissy . I knew it was him . Believe me it was a long year that year . I decided then and there that I wanted everyone of my children to go through the terrible two's at the age of two and not four lol .
But seriously it usually last about a year , by the time they are three they have calmed down considerably and when they are four they are much better yet , depending on your child .
I have a two year old now and there are days I feel like ripping out my hair as you can't take your eyes off her for a second but I just keep trying to remind myself that she will only be little for such a short period of time and try to get as many pictures of her deviousness , just so I can show her when she is older .
Take Care and enjoy !!

My daughter is not especially naughty. She just has a very strong personality. But dealing with it 24/7 can sometimes be a bit much.
I also think having older siblings makes them grow up "attitude" wise alot faster.
All of my children (including the little one) although they play me up at home, know how to behave when with others.

My 16 month old is already in the terrible two stage. He's always into something, and he always blames someone else. He makes messes, and blames the dogs or my husband. lol He throws the biggest fits. Sometimes I question my parenting abilities, but everyone keeps telling me that it's just a stage he is going through. I'm hoping it doesn't last long, though!

heehee, i told one lady one time, cuz she said that my boy was being good, i told her he's 3, but now just hitting terrible 2's, cuz while he was 2 he was great! i thought, "boy i slid thru that stage easily", BUT now he's acting up more, BUT understands me more, so he backs off fast...well so another lady came up to me and said, "honey, they are terrible 2's forever and always, there will always be tantrums, and the 'no' word and fuss and fights", and she laughed and walked away. i'm scared for the teenage years, HAHAHAHA!

Never- Parenting is hard- The hardest job anyone can ever have- but it is also the most rewarding job too! My daughter was also great at 2- I didn’t have the terrible 2’s to get through- She started at about 6- attitude- I have to put her in her place every so often- grounding- loosing privileges- etc. Maybe it’s the I can get away with it syndrome- because daddy is away—could be he is just acting out because he misses him- Routines change- You’re expecting-, etc. Hopefully it will all get better and he will be good : )
