Repeatedly squeezing her body into it, getting stuck. Then whining. She just turned 2. Argh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-twos-1#post-1733306 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 23:07:51 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1733306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: :( I was just thinking, "Oh, wow-- that sounds like Ellie." She's really awful lately for repetitive question asking. Like, "When will K come over?" "In an hour." "When will she come over?" "What did I *just* tell you?" But we're improving. I think.</p> <p>Lorelei has started crying (well, more whining) for no reason and then saying loudly, "Why am I crying?" like she is genuinely perplexed. First it was funny. Now, well... not so much. Yesterday I told her, "Well, if you don't know why you're crying, maybe you can decide to be done now." Oh, the daggers that shot from her eyes! </p> <p>Sorry. At least you aren't alone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-twos-1#post-1733304 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 22:52:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 1733304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhh I thought my daughter was the only one doing this crazy making. I have absolutely no advice and all I can say is, I'm there with you right now :( it's been a long, long, loooooooong few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-twos-1#post-1733217 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:40:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1733217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: see, she listens. She can repeat what we've said, and will acknowledge that we've already said yes. It's like she doesn't comprehend?</p> <p>"I know you said yes but can I PLEASE?!" just kills me. I'm losing my patience. </p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: Chloe will tells us "but I like to whiiiiine" or "I want to YELL!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-twos-1#post-1733209 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:35:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1733209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh yes. We have our days with this. Right now it's everything is a whine or she "yells" at us. It's just not acceptable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-twos-1#post-1733188 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:18:07 +0000 swedishfish 1733188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: hate to tell you this but I have upper elementary level students who act the same way. They just don't listen and assume my answer will always be contrary to what they want. Hopefully it's just a phase for C though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-twos-1#post-1733150 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:54:13 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1733150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh. My. God.</p> <p>The last few weeks have been nothing but crying, whining, demanding and WHYing.</p> <p>We are losing our minds. She asks a question, gets the answer she wants then complains about it. Example:<br /> Chloe: can I have a sleepover at nunnys and pop-pops?<br /> Me: yes! You can!<br /> Chloe: BUT I WANT TOOOOOOO. PLEEEEEASEEEREE!<br /> Me; I already said yes, Chloe. Yes, you can have a sleepover.<br /> Chloe: PLEEEEEASE MOM I JUST WANT TO!</p> <p>OMG. </p> <p>It's like this for everything lately. Today there was a meltdown over whether we can play outside (we can), if we can ride bikes (sure!) and the sleepover. </p> <p>We say things like, "we already answered you" or "do you remember what I said?" and "did you hear me?" and she will answer and even repeat what we've said.. But it's like our words don't sink in?</p> <p>Tell me this is going to stop!! </p>
