Terrible Twos and What Parents Go Through

                                                                                         

Well this is a great subject & one I think most parents have had to or are dealing with.

I think my son started terrible two's at 18 months. Okay that was not fun at all, neither for our son or my husband or myself.

I have read that this time is so important to the childs development. The child is testing, learning bounderies, seeing how dad & mom react. The toddler wants to see what response they get, etc. That seems to make since to me.

They also say it is so important for parents to be as patient as possible & not go off the handle or get upset. Well the people that write these articles, I wonder how many of them are parents?

I try to be as patient as I can, but sometimes when my son does something so off the wall or a distructive thing over & over, it is hard not to get really upset. My favorite isTemper Tantrums ( or not ) aren't those such a blast. Or when they sit there & say no to you over & over again. I don't beat him or anything, but it is hard not to yell at him.

My son now has started taking over answering me like I talk to him, example: Listen to me don't tell me no, No mommy thats not enough, I said no I mean no. The other day he asked me if I wanted a spanking. Sometimes it is so hard not to laugh, other times you are just plain in awe.

Anyway, timeouts do not always work & yes I do realize I am only dealing with a two year old. I am the adult here, but sometimes it feels like it is the other way around. I know this is just a faze, gosh at least I hope so.

I know that all children are truely different & some parents have an easier time of it than others. Why this is, well maybe it has to do with the different personality for each child,etc.

I love my son more than anything, that is a fact. He is such a doll most of the time & has very good manners for only two. He always wants to make sure his family is okay, like if I drop something he ask mommy are you okay. He is very very smart for his age. These times make it all worth it.

I just wish terrible two's were a little easier on parents & children. I guess if it was an easy time they wouldn't call it terrible twos.
