Jma: good to hear we aren't the only ones with a 3 year old who can be a little difficult....we started to not let DD do things she enjoys....with the whole i'll do it myself thing we have said when she is naughty she can't do things herself that she likes to do (ie pressing the button to put the garage door down, watering the garden with her watering can etc) and the seems to be having some effect, yelling or sending her to her room made absolutely no difference at all
im not sure what to suggest about the eating thing, we have a rule that if she doesn't eat what i have cooked (and i know she likes it) in a certain time (she will keep getting up and down from the table) that i just throw her food out and she goes without, now at least she makes an effort to eat some
Hugs to everyone with monster kids. My DS is like a walking tornado. He doesnt listen does things he know he shouldnt, yells, punches, hurts people , throws things, chats back, cries when he is spoken too to try and get out of things etc. Really pushes the boundaries. I have no advice i'm at my wits end with him. were all just lost for ideas on how to fix him. Every day i'm faced with this deamon of "what the hell did i do to make him like this" My MIL blames us and says 'your 1st you always let them get away with things, i did it with brad (DP)" She makes out like we allowed him to run amok and now were paying. It started when he was 2 and has progressivley gotten worse no matter what we try. I have vut out all nasty food additives and watch what he eats and no change. GP thinks he could have ADD but they wont test for it cos he is too young. I even had a peadiatration give me a referal for a MENTAL ASSESSMENT UNIT at the local Hosspital.
So i fully understand what you all are going through. All i can offer is hugs. If someone knows of a magic solution please let me know.

Reading this scares me to death!!!!! LOL. My almost 2year old is the same. I am constantly saying no and she does things over and over again. I was just reading about the table and chairs, Olivia loves to drag hers to where ever and climb up to get stuff. Think they might have to have a holiday outside.
Dont you love it when you say...dont do that and they just look at you and do it anyway!!!
so today's update of bad behaviour is this......my baby was asleep this afternoon and i tried to get DD 3 years to have a lay down with me in the hope she would have a nap, after i while she got up and went out to the lounge room, i could hear her doing something and was calling out to her and eventually she came back and fell asleep in the bed, the baby woke up and i cautiously went out looking for whatever she had been up to (i knew there was going to be something) and there in the tropical fish tank were marshmellows and chocolate lollies left over from her party on the weekend ! the marshmellows were floating and dissolving and the other lollies were on the bottom after i scooped them out i went into the bathroom trying to work out if the fish were going to be ok and there at the bottom of the toilet was the rest of the packet of chocolate lollies ! seriously i don't understand how it would even occur to her in the first place to do those things, when she woke up (after only 30 mins) i asked her why she did it and she said i didnt like them (the lollies) ggggggrrrrrrrr
Arimeh: lol twins huh ? i think most of the time we got the evil one !
we lost one fish after the marshmellow incident, hopefully the others are ok, poor DH cleaned the water out twice and it is still cloudy, the poor fish are probably all on sugar highs !
