Gosh i feel for you all girls. I'm no expert but maybe because one parent is doing one thing and the other another, bubba thinks well i got away with it with Dad so i will keep my tantrum going and going until mum gives in? Just a thought maybe DP'S and DH'S need to follow mum's lead and be a little stronger.

I think you are all doing a great job and maybe it is just part of development in kids.

Tayneesha seems to be ok at the moment she has her tanties every now and again i just ignore her and move away until she stops and then go and talk to her at her level to say she was being a little silly for no reason etc etc and that seems to work for me. I am not sure how to handle a situation in the shops though i haven't had that experience yet! Maybe give them something exciting to play with so they are not so bored. Maybe take them to the park first before going to the shops to wear them out Oh gosh i just don't know!
When the tanties start at the shops for me i will let you all know what i did oh thats if anything works! Lol

I hope though it all settles down for you all sooner than later.
