Is it the age?

[visitor1]

I have 1 question on 2 children!

Question: Is it just the age that:

Chelsea (29 months) is
* Refusing to eat breaky, lunch and dinner because 'My cant like that' or 'My cant eat that'
* Misbehaving (biting, pushing, pinching, back chatting, hitting and screaming)
* Refusing to listen
* Refusing bed day and night

Zachery (3 months) is
* Waking alot more (early mornings)
* Not sleeping through (as in 9pm-8am) like he used to
* Having bigger bottles
* Feeding more (some days we only just make it 3 hours..others we make it 5+ hours)
* Sleeping less through the day

[Arimeh]

Yes and yes.

I'm hearin ya on the 29 months. Although there is nearly 2 months between ours - OMG - he bit me today. Monster.

Not happy Jan.

Can we marry them off yet or what?

DD (27 months) is
* Refusing suddenly to take meds, eat dinner (breakfast is fine) and to dress check
* Misbehaving ( pushing, pinching in the face!, back chatting, hitting and screaming) check
* Refusing to listen check
* Refusing bed day and night check, check and double check

DS (4 months) is
* Waking alot more (early mornings) like 5am?? check
* Not sleeping through (as in 9pm-8am) like he used to I'll give this a skip, he still gets a bottle at 11pm
* Having bigger bottles then smaller, then bigger, than smaller check
* Feeding more (some days we only just make it 3 hours..others we make it 5+ hours) CHECK!!!!!!
* Sleeping less through the day check, check

kim sophie is the same with mealtime prefers to play instead of eat, i think its the age for living on air!
also having issues at night time, some are better than others. she goes down at 6.30pm at the moment, i count down the hours til bedtime some days

[mbear]

Sounds like Jasmine is your lil princess.................well.....for this week at least....

[Mak]

OMG - so it is not just our place!

It been a little challenging but quite funny recently (when not completely out of control and no visible damage to anyone - dog included). I was told to put my 'listening ears on' today as I clearly missed the request for chocolate! Hmmm...

Never underestimate the little people!

[Nadine216]

Listening ears ... priceless!!!

[Je$$_84]

I have a DS who progressed from all that to now running off at the shops, pinching things, , violence, verbal screaming and fighting matches. anger, doesnt listen to anyone. has no fear of authority... I am at my wits end...

As for the sleeping with Zach... Normal... Tiahna slept through the 1st 3 months then started waking up 5 times a night... she'l 10 1/2 months and wakes occasionaly 1-3 times....

HUGS... ur under lots of stress ATM maybe u need some time for u... even a meet up with some women with kids... get ur hair done...massage, mani/pedi anything to just help u unwind

[jackrose]

Glad to hear of the positive spirit Nadine and Arimeh - Yay for lots of kids!

LilMunchikins, I like HeyGoodLookings advice of time for yourself...

[Olive]

nadine we do listening ears here too!

[visitor1]

Oh good im glad my kids arent the only ones then!

Mbear..Jasmine is my angel in disguise....she gives Chelsea a run for her money.....she has the pitching and biting and TANTIES down pat....but she is an awesome eater and sleeper....she listens and doesnt talk back to me

Jackrose....got for #2....hey i got 3 darlings now and its mayhem...but soo much fun at the same time....like when they all go for naps at the same time...and i look forward to 9pm cos then i know ALL 3 are fed, in bed and asleep..well accept for Miss Chelsea atm who is being a PITA...but is asleep now!

[jackrose]

Ohhh, that does sound lovely.
The whole, stepping back from the mayhem to appreciate the little things. Very nice.

[Ashlee]

So we're saying that DS KNOWING what I'm saying, such as "Don't pinch the dog Blake!!", and him then pinching and kicking the dog too, is normal?? I swear, everything I tell him not to do, he does anyway and even ups the anti by making it worse. It sucks, and he is only 2 next week! ARRRGGHHHHH!

[visitor1]

LOL all normal Ashlee by the looks of things!
