10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Having Kids
Photo by jandyrodax
Our kids are only toddlers for a few years -- so why does it feel like an eternity! At times it seems like we trade one excruciating toddler stage for another, with no end in sight.
nimk99 in Answers just had to vent about her troublesome 2-year-old:
I am at my wits end! He gets so wrapped up in his own world that I have to ask him a question about 6 times. He seems to look for reasons to disagree with us, even if he contradicts himself doing so. He refuses to eat what we ask even if it's something he loves, and he'd rather lose his toys several nights in a row than pick them up. The combination of these usually add up to several time outs, removed toys, and a lot of tears and screaming.
I know all toddlers go through a difficult stage, but when does it start to get better?
Alas. I wish I had a crystal ball too ...
What terrible two, three, or four antics is your little one driving you crazy with right now?

Oh my gosh I've forgotten how incredibly difficult 3 yr olds can be!! 2 just doesn't have anything on the 3's!! LOL! Jake is stubborn, independent, and just delights in being a human tornado right now! And when he is quiet, I KNOW he's doing something he's not supposed to be doing!! LOL! He is re-arranging anything and everything and keeps me very, very busy right now. But oh wow! The hugs and kisses I get when he knows he's truly upset me!
Right now my two year old twins are jumping around and playing in their cribs instead of taking their nap!
Most days they're pretty well behaved. One of the boys definitely has a flair for the dramatic. He throws himself on the ground when he has a tantrum (but he looks first to make sure he's not going to get hurt). If we leave the room, he sometimes follows us to continue the tantrum!
I am so glad you posted this! My 2-year-old is driving me nuts! Everything is "NO" or "NOT"!!! He never stays next to me when we go out either. He is always running off and if I chase him down he "faints" on the floor! It makes me not even want to leave the house!
always avoid the candy isle at the store or most likely you will dragging a screaming kicking kid out of there with your face turning several shades of red you didn't think were possible
Oh no, my son is almost 2 & this stuff has already started!!! I was hoping to read that it will get better - SOON!!! But from the sounds of it it is only going to get worse!!?????
My dd is CLIMBING everything. She climbed into the 9 month old's crib this morning!!!! She will be 2 on the 23rd..
Haha my little girl is 3 1/2 and a total monster face! She loves to tell me she doesn't do anything but it is her 10 month old little brother. Baby Calyx colored on the wall baby calyx ate a whole the cake, baby brother poopyed in pants. Haha I love this stuff. She threw an egg roll at a lady a the chinese restraunt one day but oh no it wasn't her it was baby brother :-)
Wow! I thought my son hit terrible twos at about 1, so it would be over early. Yeah right! He is now 3, and not very well behaved. He throws tantrums like I could've never imagined. He is very strong and thick built, and sometimes I wonder if I am gonna be able to control him.
I have a wonderfully smart, terrible two! When he started the terrible two's at one I thought maybe he was advanced, and by the time he got to two, he would be finished! NOT!! He so proved me wrong! He is a little monster! When we go out in public he runs away from me, screams not to sit in the buggy, and is all over the place! And what gets me, are the rude people in the store looking at you like "Control your kid!" I just want to scream, "YOU COME CONTROL THE HUMAN MONSTER!" One day at the store a women actually looked at my son (who, while we were waiting in a mile long line, was on the floor spinning on his belly) then looked at me and said "Wow, how gross of her to let her kid play on the floor!" And all I could do was turn and look at her and say "Did you wash your hands before you put them on that buggy? Yea well know how many people just walked out of the bathroom with dirty hands and touched your buggy, then you are going to touch your face with it?" She was in total shock! But come up, you make a two year old listen! But I can't complain about all of the bad times, because the wonderful times, and his beautiful eyes, and caring hugs and kisses out way them plenty! THIS TWO SHALL PASS!
