Sugar & spice my bum!

Isla is close to 2yrs. She is a little (in the nicest possible way ) b!tch lately.

As soon as she doesn't get her way she screams, hits, gives a look that would kill the strongest army, yells NO & throws her self on the floor in true tanty fashion, legs & arms kicking etc.

Now I know its normal for them to see what they can get away with at this age, all about pushing those boundary, BUT OMG she is so much worse then the boys I swear it has to be a girl thing!

Kinda makes me glad I am having another boy after actually wanting another girl LOL!

So mums to girls, how long can I expect this to last?

[visitor1]

Sounds like Chelsea....maybe is a November born thing? LOL

[BhoysGirl]

Kim - you could be onto something re the November thing - FJ has described my niece to a T, and she's a November girl...

[Antheia]

Yeah i would say its a girl thing too. DS never chucks tantys really. DD did and sorry to say but she is worse than ever now at age nearly 4.

[mrsmac]

Maybe its 3rd child thing cause my DS does this but the girls never did!

[Tobily]

Well...my little miss is about to turn 4 and she is just getting worse...and worse She was relatively calm at 2. Now she's pure diva and if she doesn't get what she wants it is UGLY.

Sorry that's prolly not what you want to hear is it.

[Beatrix]

umm yep def a girl thing... Annika and Teleah to the T

and it stops ummmm well im 24 and i can still chuck a good one!!

[{sarah}]

Maybe Zander is a girl in disguise then

[minimatron]

Oh please...my soon to be 18 month old has just started...tell me it stops soon and shes an April baby. Screams, tanties, hits herself or me, throws things kicks....lucky she doesnt talk yet!!!

[Phteven]

It's not a girl thing - Imran is the king of the tanties. Some days I feel like we've been at war all day.

Maybe Zander is a girl in disguise then

LOL , maybe you're onto something. Perhaps I should cut Imran's hair

I call it the Princess Syndrome.
My Miss 4 suffers from it.
Not too many tantrums now as she has discovered how to use logic in combination with that

look that would kill the strongest army

[~clover~]

Well I dunno about it only being a girl thing - DS isn't old enough yet, but BOTH my girls do it.
DD1 is 6, so if you are unlucky like me it could never end!!!!!

[Willow]

Yeah, I don't think it's a girl thing, DD has never really been one for tanties, she actually only started them on a pretty mild scale after she turned 3.
