I try and pick my battles, that is if it appropriate I will ignore it. I think this a really important stage as this is when they are learning to stand up for themselves and put in boundaries for themselves. The challenge for us is teaching them to be assertive and not aggressivie

DS asked daddy for something that I had already said no and daddy asked DS what mummy said and DS said mummy said yes :O I couldn't believe my ears and that he was playing me already lol

I pray it passes quickly

Aaaaargh it really does do your head in some days doesn't it!!! I also try to pick my battles, in fact tonight I told DH I thought he needed to pick his battles a little more lol....like the get out of the bath one tonight, it really wasn't going to hurt to say ok you can have 2 more minutes but then you need to hop out if you still want to go and listen to some music. Then there are those days where EVERYTHING is a battle omg. But I wanted to do this, I wanted you to park the car there... (yes I'm serious lol)... ahhh deary me. I sometimes tell him that when he stops whinging about it and speaks nicely I will listen again. I find the problem is that every day it seems what worked the day before doesn't work the next day..... lol eeek! And that's why we have BELLYBELLY!!!
