The terrible twos need to be over. The tantrums are out of control.
Is it too early to drink?

It's like overnight he decided he didn't need to listen to us at all anymore. I know this is the age of pushing boundaries but I'm finding it REALLY hard to be patient with him. I need yoga... and all the wine.

joi922, my favorite is when he's asking for something and then he gets mad when he gets it. The other day I was getting him breakfast and he was going between cereal and waffles. He got melted down because we didn't have waffle cereal.

Had a parent teacher conference this morning at DS1's school. It went really well! His favorite subject is science (not surprising) and he interacts really well with the other kids and has a lot of friends. A great way to start the week!!
ETA: of course, he fights with his sister and doesn't listen to ME, but I'm super glad he's doing well in school.

Yep, same here. Asked for waffle. Had a meltdown because I had to toast it first. Sigh.
I need to start joining the Parenting drinking thread.

YES! Whyyyyy do they not understand that they cannot eat stuff frozen or in some cases, cold or out of the box? No, DS1, you cannot just eat the mac and cheese without me cooking it first - insert meltdown.
I'm with all of you on the Terrible 2s. DS started around the 2 1/2 mark - I'm ready for Monday and thankful for Daycare after most weekends! I do love that kid tremendously but goodness he is exhausting.

Enrolling both kids in head start come the first of the year. Dd will be three and therefore qualified. I need that half day break. And I didn't think I would ever be one to say that.
Digging in to re potty training dd today. She had totally regressed and I hate it. Plus she wants to do everything herself. Yesterday I found her with the wipes trying to clean herself up after she pooped. Poop on her hands. Poop down her legs. Poop. Everywhere. Dnw.

One of my cats is annoying the hell out of me. Either DS1 or I feed them... Twice a day. For the last 3 days one decides to climb all over me, brushing against me, licking me, and having an annoying meow too. All because she wants to eat. Then when I ignore her she goes and scratches at ds1 door because oh many he'll get up and feed me. Seriously cat. Did I mention this happens early? Before anyone is awake for the day?
2s tantrums are the worst. I hear 3 is even worse than 2.
It is. Because then they can talk back.
I have a friend who claims everything before 4 is easy compared to 4.
I have a personal theory that every child and parent combo will have one really difficult 12 month stretch between 1.5 and 5.5 years old. Which one is worst depends on your particular kid and what really bugs you as a parent.
This weekend flew by. I need some coffee for sure. Then take DS1 to preschool, and run a couple errands with the easier 1:2 ratio. Also, we are flying to visit family on Friday so I need to get my act together and get everything ready.

My cat does less now that she's on a diet. At 5am. When I'm trying to get the baby back down.

PSA: y'all please make sure the chest clips in your car seats are level with their armpits. I'm seeing a lot that are to low and that could be fatal in an accident.

Having a slow morning. Did some laundry and just trying to feed Alexis so we can go out and run errands. Toddler just wound up and aimed and kicked Alexis in the head. Not happy. It's the first time she's been aggressive towards Alexis.
