I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828972 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:11:00 +0000 ValentineMommy 1828972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Yea, it's crazy! The doctor asked us at 12m to keep a list and I was shocked when I added them up. Granted, most other people wouldn't know what he's saying, but we do, and the doc said that's what counts! He was an early talker though - his first words were before he was crawling. I was, and still am, shocked that it doesn't help with tantrums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828962 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:08:47 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1828962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @ValentineMommy: Wow, ok maybe not!<br /> @ValentineMommy: 100 words?! That's amazing! DS maybe has 16-18 words right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828956 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:07:15 +0000 ValentineMommy 1828956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I was hoping to avoid the whole stage myself (yea, I know, haha) because at 18m DS says well over 100 words. The doctor is really impressed with his verbal skills and the dude still goes completely nuclear during a tantrum! It's so frustrating! :crying: I really thought the communication skills would help, but it didn't for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828938 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:03:18 +0000 Mamaof2 1828938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: My DS was very verbal early on and DD was delayed and DS still had worse tantrums than his sister :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828933 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:01:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1828933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I think my kids are easy/hard in different ways. My girl is definitely more dramatic/emotional whereas my son is very "whatevers!" about a lot of things... but his tantrums are definitely more intense when he doesn't get what he wants whereas my daughter just whines and cries, but in a softer way. She's also quick to apologize and admit when she does something wrong. DS is still too young to do that stuff so we'll see what he's like as he gets older...</p> <p>I think part of the reason why DS's tantrums might be "worse" than DD's was at his age is because he doesn't have as many words to communicate yet. DD was very verbal early on so she was always able to get her point across. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828899 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:54:12 +0000 Mamaof2 1828899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: my sister always tells me that girls are easy when young and hard when they are older and boys are the opposite hard when young but easier when they get older (and by older I mean tweens/teenagers)</p> <p>so far its been true for my kids - the young part</p> <p>obviously there a gazillion other factors playing a role here too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828897 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:52:56 +0000 ValentineMommy 1828897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 18m old son, who was the sweetest child on earth up until a few weeks ago, now slaps me when he's angry. And then laughs in my face. </p> <p>I'm going to say boy tantrums SUCK. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828879 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:49:02 +0000 Freckles 1828879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: @mrsjyw: You gals are giving me hope.

I have a 2 year old daughter and am expecting baby #2 who is a boy. I totally thought boy tantrums would be easier since my daughter is super dramatic and crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828816 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:37:01 +0000 chopsuey 1828816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boy has gotten pissed a few times, but he hasn't thrown any crazy tantrums yet (20 months old). </p> <p>DD threw some really bad ones during the weaning process :( but don't really remember her being tantrumy either.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828806 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:34:21 +0000 Freckles 1828806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: @Mamaof2: :meh: :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828803 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:33:38 +0000 Mamaof2 1828803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy for sure!!</p> <p>My DD's are "cute" in comparison to DS's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828802 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:33:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1828802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes - boy tantrums are much worse, in our experience! J is going to be one wild toddler... we already don't plan on eating out for the next couple years - not only is he more physical, he's super loud too. N has never had one of those crazy fling yourself on the floor type tantrums, and J has already had several. He's 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-who-threw-worse-tantrums-boys-or-girls#post-1828794 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:32:25 +0000 Freckles 1828794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People have been scaring me lately, saying boy tantrums/fits are worse than girls. Please tell me it ain't so... </p>
