    Oh I hear you! Every day is a struggle. Getting dressed is major drama here every day. Good idea OP, I will try her with a choice and see if that stops the drama. I constantly get "na ah mummy, no, stop" at everything.
    We try and do the choice thing here but it doesn't work much. I just have a VERY stubborn child!!
    I'm over it at the moment too. I'm exhausted, i'm cranky all the time and i just don't enjoy parenting a 2 year old? Tell me it's gets easier with the second one!

    Mine has also discovered the powers of the word NO... and is using it to the full. Of course, sometimes he really means yes, but is just in a pattern of saying no to everything.

    Still, I found getting from 1 to 2 much harder than having a 2 year old - the communication skills help for a start!

    I have done the offering choices when getting dressed for two days now with great success. Two mornings tantrum free! It has been bliss. Now to sort out the bath time issues.
