What Happened to my sweet Children?

[UmmSamiyah]

They have both lost their minds and I don't know what to do! I am tempted to throw them both into the walls but I know i can't do that Whenever I tell DD to do anything she either doesn't or does it on her own time. and my little man! he used to be so sweet I get so upset because he deliberately does stuff to either torture ( i use that word loosely) his sister or disobey me. He is so disobedient!!! I am really trying to be patient and give them space but they really don't listen to me and especially DS he is 16 months he is capable of causing a lot of destruction and not understand when I say no. I guess what I need are coping skills. Thank you for letting me vent!

NAK

Sorry, no wisdom to share...but i eagerly await other's replies. My DD has begun to do the same, but it's probably in response to the arrival of our new son. Its so discouraging, but I'm sure that there is a way through it. Anyone???

I hear you.
I think the body-snatchers have made off with my sweet ds.
The one I have now sound like Homer Simson.. yelling "DOH!" in frustration, clenching his little fists in toddler-rage and throwing fistfuls of food on the floor with all his might.

Doesn't want to go in the car seat.
Shoes on! Shoes off! Shoes on!! DOH DOH DOH, throws little self on floor face down... DOHHHHHHH!

Sigh
I hear you, oh yes I do.

Monique,

I think they've run off w/my sweet children....I'm not liking who they've left behind for me to deal with My 17 m.o. and my 4 yr. old are bonkers. I remember about 15-18 months not being my favorite age...now I remember why.....

You are not alone in this....this will pass, this will eventually pass, right? These are the days I cannot fathom that I will have another one in a few months.....

Big hugs!
