I have always heard that when kids are two they are in the terrible twos. Will somebody PLEASE tell me that that changes when they turn three? We have been struggling with the listening factor. He has a problem listening to us. We have to tell him quite a few times to quite doing something or to do something we ask. Or...it seems as though we are yelling at him constantly. How frustrating it gets. I think, well, maybe he just needs more attention. It works when he has the attention...but we can't give it to him all of the time. Whatever...just ventings. We will get over it.
Another thing is that he is afraid to sleep in his room. We have never shown any feelings ourselves of being afraid, but for some reason, he does not like to sleep in his room. So alas, the couch is mostly where he sleeps. I assume that will pass too.
Mason on the other hand...well, he hasn't been the swee little innocent boy that we would like him to be either. But he is so darn cute when he gets in trouble you can't just be mad at him. He does get very frustrating for me when I get on the computer, wash the dishes, or make dinner. He seems to want all the attention all the time too. What have I done to my children??? I just get tired of the whining and crying, so maybe I give in too easily.
Hopefully I am not the only one out there that feels this way at some point or another in the children's lives. I remember when I was younger I so wanted 8 kids...but now I'm thinking I can only handle 2. What a difference huh?
Sorry for venting frustrations!

Nope, you aren't the only one. I have four like that. Just lately, in the last week, Sheyna wants me to hold her EVERY time I go into the kitchen to do anything. Simon and Sheyna just bicker all the time, as does Kjelden and Brayden. They are good at ignoring me, but they certainly can't figure out how to ignore each other when need be. Welcome to parenting. Good luck. It does get better. I think
I too feel that way most of the time. Some weeks there are no good days (as far as fighting, whining, bickering, talking back goes) and then there will be a few good days thrown in that give me hope. Carter is slowly coming out of terrible 2's but he still has several moments every day that make me want to pull my hair out. Then he'll snuggle with me... guess we just gotta look for the good moments! And call me when Matthew needs to play at our house. It'd help me too!
