My sister has twins - age 3 - I have no idea how she does it!"

He gets into everything...the dog's water dish, the remote controls (he also likes to flip the channels and mess with the volume), EVERYTHING. And if you take stuff away from him, he cries because he thinks everything's a toy. He also only eats when he feels like it, which is almost never. He still drinks a bottle, but he knows how to fart around with it and make milk squirt all over the place. I feel for any parent with a baby that age...it is indeed one of the toughest ages. The baby still can't really talk yet, but they can walk around and get into stuff and they definitely don't have any idea about consequences for their actions.
Hope you feel better...sometimes it does feel good to vent!"

but if nothing else that get us to clear out all our old unused crap so the things we do use can go to those high places bubs cant get in to lol...
My advice move everything you can out of the room you have her play in .. less work less mess , leaves mum time to look after herself :):whacky011:"
an8lemongirl said: "step back ...breathe deep.... it only lasts 18 years per child..... then they move out and you don't know the half of it. Which is some how easier on your nerves but worse on your sleep. We have 7 kids and only 3 left at home.....It never ends all you can do is step back breathe, then step back to the plate and begin the game again with consistency and love. NEVER GIVE UP."

If she is this bad now...just wait!"
DrCOOL959 said: "Lol, I am not a parent but I can relate as being the child to cause my Mom the same problems yours causes you. Me and my brother would piss out of windows, almost set the house on fire, my mom would spank us we would laugh at her. :)
All I can say is it will get better as yours gets get older, you'll have new problems of course but as is only natural. Before you know it they will be all grown up."

joshysgirl said: "grrr...so i had no idea that an 11 month old baby could misbehave so badly. the little turd will not stay out of things, i already have her contained to our living room and she still manages to get into things. she figured out about a week ago that she can turn the tv on and off as well as change the channel and volume-IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! i tell her no and she just looks at me and most of time laughs cause she thinks its a game. she also has no intrest in eating lately, she would rather run around, she's been walking since 9 months. when my nerves are shot like this it's hard not to eat....or smoke. i quit when i got pregnant but there are some in the house and i am so tempted. i know how stupid it is and that my husband would be so pissed but i just want the feeling it gives me...i don't know-these are the moments when i question being a stay at home mom. i know in my heart it's what i want, but god this is tough....terrible 2's??? i have a terrible 1 year old!"
joshysgirl said: "thanks so much nancy. while motherhood is by far the most rewarding thing i've ever done, it is also the hardest. i am a pretty patient person but i can still only handle so much! i have been doing as you suggested and yesterday i duct taped cardboard over the buttons on the tv so she can't press them, lol! it's a little trailer park sheik but hey, whatever works, huh? :laugh: my husband is taking us shopping tom. and he's going to be on baby patrol on sunday while i spend the day getting a start on my x-mas baking. i should be better by monday i'm hoping....well as long as i don't eat all the cookies :th_coolio:"
nancy_mrn said: "As a mother of 3 and foster mom do you mind a few suggestions?
Consistancy, no means no and when the channels start flipping you have to say no, then remove them from the situation so they know mom is not happy at that age a "time out" is short and mom's have to be strong no matter how they scream, but set them in a quiet place for a moment or until they stop screaming which ever comes first then give them something else to focus on other that the behavior you want to change. It does take a little time for the behavoir to change but it will.
My girls are now 25, 22 and 15 and yes I had my moments, boy did I have my moments but hang in there
btw yes do remove all temptations if possible"
