My dd is at the peak (I hope!!!)of terrible two-ness - she is tantruming daily, runs away at any given opportunity - refuses to hold hands (especially when near main roads), screams to be let out of buggy and then refuses to walk with me etc. etc. etc. all very bloody normal I know.
Anyway as latest battle commenced over putting on raincoat - she refuses but won't let me put raincover on - I decided that if she wouldn't wear raincoat we wouldn't go to her playgroup. She knew what I was talking about but would not cooperate - so we have gone home. Was that pointless? I am not sure when I started bargaining with ds (he is now 4) - parental amnesia has set in early But I am sure he was around this age when the time outs and incentives started with varying degrees of success.
I am just having trouble physically as I am heavily pregnant so chasing her around is not an option - and she is so strong. Strong willed as well as tall and well built.
Tips please before I decide that I cannot leave the house again till she is 3!!!
