Fucking toddlers

[ParrotsForLife]

I’m at the end of my tether. DS has just turned two and is in full Toddler Dictator mode at the minute.
I know it’s normal, I’m a rational, usually calm adult, but, fuck me, it’s hard work.
Every suggestion, choice, direct telling is met with No.
Hes launched cups and bowls full of food and drink, unprompted, mid meal, across my —fucking— rented house.
We have 1-2-1 play times, we read books, get out for the day and go to the park etc, he plays by himself for short periods, he’s just a normal toddler and I’m just a normal mum and it’s fucking hard work.
I am rapidly reading ‘how to talk to little kids’ when he’s asleep.

A thought - if it's okay to crate dogs, is it okay to crate toddlers?

@Weezol perfectly acceptable 😜😂

We have a massive playpen for our dd and if we have housework to do (or she's being an utter nightmare) we'll stick her in there for a little bit. We call it the baby jail 😂

I feel your pain! Its just that I work 5 full dats a week so my 26month old is in nursery during the day. The last couple of months been a nightmare!!! All thr time he is home he is making my life unberable... Hope this terrible two stage wont last long! It definitely off put me having more kids for sure
