My 2 year old is driving me bonkers

Hugs to you... I know exactly what you are going through... My 2.5yr old seems to be the loudest when I am putting my 4.5 month old to bed. As you said you know you aren't supposed to yell back at them when they are being terrors but I will be honest, I can't help myself I get sooooo ANGRY and I just don't know what else to do. So you are certainly not alone.

The thing that I find that works if you can handle the yelling and protesting is just ignorning them when they are being like that. I find the more that I protest against him the worse he gets.

I have tried the naughty corner, sending to bedroom, taking things off him and he just doesn't care.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE...

Good Luck xxoo

oh how I feel your frustration.. Although Jacob has just started coming good.. I am finding his lack of sleep was the biggest cause of his problems.. Since he no longer day naps some days are worse then others.

Yesterday I "made" him have a day sleep and he slept 13 hours overnigth and has been awesome today...

So my suggesstion is to get on top of his sleeping if you have noticed he is sleepong less..

Where in Melbourne are you? Maybe we should let our 2yo's go bonkers together! Mine always wants to sing or dance when my 10monther needs to sleep!
