Why are 2 year olds such relentless little people.
My son turned 2 in December and suddenly it's like where is my sweet, kind , little darling boy gone. Was the same when my 7 year old turned 2.
one day they wake up and it's like they are this completely different little person all together.
How do you survive the 2 year/ 3 year old stages. At the moment I feel I'm so ready to cuss I hate 2 years to the world .. not my son... But 2 gah.
I try to remind myself how frustrating life must be being told what to eat, when to get dressed, etc I try to let him make choices and help as much as possible.
But he is just such a big nasty pasty. A normal 2 year old. He bullies his mum basically. I'm the boss but really I feel he is the boss. There are boundaries and rule but ... The battle is long.
He hits. He throws his food, he is stubborn and no longer mummys cooperative little sweetheart. :( his grumpy, he cries when I say no , he tantrums when he can't get his own way all day long . All day. It's like one big power struggle no matter what we pick and choose on the battle.
I find this stage so hard. Why must they grow up.
How do you survive?

Yes thats two!! Thinktheyre the boss thats the worst bit. Relentless, theres always something going on. It is hard. Just remember its a stage. It will pass. Ans yes its the world and allllll the new things they can understand and do and master and choose, makes them very focused, stubborn and emotional. Its hard!
