I can't imagine my sweet happy snuggly boy being bad either! Lol I'm in for a rude awakening Im sure.<br /> Ohh he does like to sit on his dads lap and bang the keyboard and look at my and smile and then I would tell him no while laughing and he would do it again and again. It was to cute though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-685625 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:02:52 +0000 HLK208 685625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: awesome and awful - explains 3 entirely. </p> <p>DS was the sweetest little boy!! Everyone always remarked how well behaved he was in public. Then he turned 3. It's been SUCH a difficult age! However, I think I've learned how to handle the disobedience now so when DD turns 3, I can be more prepared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-685617 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:00:24 +0000 skibobrown 685617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At one year DD is already trying to test me. She is one opinionated little lady (although still very sweet otherwise). She will definitely throw herself on the ground and scream when I tell her no. She also purposefully tests me sometimes, and thinks it is very funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-685611 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:53:12 +0000 iheartleopardprint 685611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS started testing the waters at 2, now at 2 years 7 months tantrums happen more than what I would like! Sometimes I can avoid a melt down, other times there is no stopping it depending on how tired/ too much energy/ hungry he is etc.</p> <p>My daughter on the other hand is a complete different personality, and like you I could never picture her being naughty! We shall see lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-676279 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:50:51 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 676279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't start acting out really until about eleven months and then it was mostly just learning boundaries and testing them. Now with DD here, he's definitely acting out more but he's fourteen months, so it may just be a combination of her and his growing personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-676264 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:47:22 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 676264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: agree! 3 is when we first saw willful and deliberate disobedience. 3 is...interesting. as i recently said to a friend, it's awesome and awful. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-676169 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:28:06 +0000 Weagle 676169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10.5 months old, and we have been correcting behavior for at least a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-676035 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:55:51 +0000 travelgirl1 676035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: ha ha, I always assumed I'd spank too but now she's here I can't ever imagine wanting to spank her and god help anyone else who tries. I don't know how sweet babies ever turn into naughty, mouthy girls, but I guess they all do to a certain point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675985 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:45:33 +0000 Lindsay05 675985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 9.5 months and she definitely has attitude and knows how to use it. I find myself saying NO quite frequently and even see some defiant behaviour. YAY! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675922 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:32:31 +0000 Maysprout 675922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months was the first time I knew she knew what no was but she decided to do it anyways. She loves light sockets, so if I'd walk into the kitchen for a minute she'd try to get the covers off the light socket, naughty monkey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675720 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:05:39 +0000 rachiecakes 675720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS isn't 'bad' but he knows when he's doing something he's not supposed to. He'll mock me and go, "uh-uh-uuhh!" and shake his head no while he's doing it.<br /> It's naughty, but I think it's adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675602 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:52:00 +0000 loveisstrange 675602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 1 and definitely has a saucy streak and makes her opinions (and displeasure) known. She is sneaky and loves to laugh and grin when we tell her no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675560 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:47:19 +0000 banana 675560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old hasn't been "bad" yet. He just doesn't want to do things and throws tantrums. But he hasn't outright defied us yet. I know it's coming though. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675489 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:38:21 +0000 Mrs. Bee 675489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for charlie i would say when he just turned 3! i don't think olive is "bad" yet at 17 months, but she is certainly opinionated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675474 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:36:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 675474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 2.5 year old hasn't been "bad" yet. She is high strung and has gotten into a few things like makeup, but never bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-675231 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:10:31 +0000 betsyboop 675231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started to test me at around 8 months. When we would go out to eat, she would try to suck on the edge of the table, and I always told her no. She would do it and be looking at me the entire time, waiting for me to say something. She also does this with her high chair buckle. I just know she's going to be a handful when she becomes a toddler. Oh boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-674922 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:29:58 +0000 prettylizy 674922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She already has a naughty streak at 1 year old. She's crawl over to the entertainment unit, toward the blinky lights, and then she stops and looks over her shoulder to see if anyone is watching. If she catches our eyes, she grins like the cheshire cat! THEN, she decides if she can get there before we can stop her. She's so sneaky but I secretly love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-674888 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:22:15 +0000 Cole 674888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say that around 18 months they start testing the waters-- for example you tell them not to throw their spoon on the floor and they smile and chuck it. But at that age they really are just checking out how everything works and their impulse control is not good at all (I just stop giving back the spoon). </p> <p>It probably isn't until 3 that they actually decide to go ahead and disobey you, up until then it is usually lack of impulse control and ability to think things through. </p> <p>Don't get me wrong though, by 1 you will have moments where you wonder what is going on in her head! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-674844 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:12:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 674844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months old and I wouldn't say she acts badly, but definitely has started to "fake" little fits. Sometimes they're pretty hilarious. If she wants something you won't give her, or you take something away - or if she wants to nurse (not hungry) and I give her the pacifier...holy crap. She throws herself and kicks her feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-do-los-start-being-bad#post-674839 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:09:43 +0000 PrincessBaby 674839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my LO is almost 4 months and is the happiest little girl with a HUGE personality! I cannot imagine her being "bad" when I spend my days knee deep in big gummy smiles, baby giggles, and open-mouth slobber kisses.</p> <p>When do they start behaving badly?</p> <p>Eta: obvs I know it will be a while but I'm just wondering when! DH said something about knowing he's going to have to spank a chubby leg a whole lot when she's older(we were both spanked and I always assumed I'd spank) and I just stared at him wide-eyed bc I cannot imagine spanking my sweet girl EVER(!), and I also cannot imagine her doing something that bad- lol! When will my attitude change? Haha </p>
