My DD just turned 2.5 this week. I’m due in 4-6 weeks with number two.
DD is so so headstrong and difficult to manage. I spend my days constantly battling her and trying to keep her safe. Getting dressed is a battle, eating a battle, any transition from one thing to another is a battle. She runs off when we’re out, she hits and sometimes bites. She is verbally pretty much fluent so I don’t think it’s frustration.
im starting to wonder if I will ever be able to leave the house with the two kids at once. The thought seems impossible at the moment. Do all 2 year olds go through this? We’re not struggling so much with tantrums (although they do happen) but more with defiance, hyperactivity, lashing out.
