I'm saying the two's is the worst age!?

[MyBrownEyedHandsomeBoy]

My DS. Exactly 2 and half, is just so hard work. It's exhausting.
He's super needy, whingy, resistant, there's absolutely zero reasoning, he's persistent, impatient and just naughty!!

I dread taking him out on his reins these days. I just thought I'd take him and the dog on a nice walk. How * wrong was I!?
Persistent on going the other direction so he will pull and end up twisting round on the reins and go all floppy and resistent. Can't get his own way so he will sit on the floor just scream for ages. A woman even opened her front door to see what was happening! It's embarrassing! I passed 2 other people who made comments "oh dear, someone playing you up".... "been there before love"
Ahhhhhhh 😩 I just wanted to scream.

I HATE the 'terrible twos' I can't wait til it's over
Please please tell me I've not got much longer of these vile tantrums to go 🙏🏻

I've found 0-1 the hardest for all three of my kids (now aged 19,17,12)

I agree. I’ve had 6 kids and that age in my opinion is the absolute worst. I’ve got teenagers and they are not as hard work as a 2 year old. I feel your pain. But thankfully it doesn’t last too long so hang in there.

It definitely has its challenges, but the way you describe your son makes it sound like you don't imagine what the world is like from his perspective.

A lot of tantrums can be avoided if you pace things like naps and snacks, allow quiet time, give warnings of change, voice what you think is frustrating the child.

They will always play up a bit, but there is scope to improve things!

I had a nightmare two year old. She's coming out of it now (three in a month) and is actually starting to be pleasant to be around. I hated it when I was struggling with tantrums etc and people would say 'five is worse' or 'wait until they're teenagers'. Made me feel shit, like what's the point, is any of parenting good? I would say just run your own race, this is a hard bit hopefully won't be too long,

0-13 hardest. Eldest is 13 😂😂

14 - 15 is sheer hell
