Watch. Daniel. Watch. Daniel. Repeat. We were traveling this week and I let her watch it when she woke up at five am, then every morning she woke up and would start shouting for it immediately. At 5. I guess at least I don't have to worry about her deciding what she wants to watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201253 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 07:15:54 +0000 Rockies11 2201253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is exactly the same age and I have exactly the same fight every single morning only she alternates between ba ba black sheep, wheels on the bus, and those playdoh eggs that fingers unwrap with toys inside. I am trying to read the news and drink my coffee, but every 5 seconds there's screams of "BUS" "BA BA" "EGG" and so forth. I have no solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201252 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 07:14:06 +0000 Smurfette 2201252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this drives me crazy! R does it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201247 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 07:06:18 +0000 Cherrybee 2201247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>^^^^ THIS HELPS ^^^^^ </p> <p>Thanks everyone! :happy: She has been a beast this weekend! Its good to hear its pretty standard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201246 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 07:01:46 +0000 blackbird 2201246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also dealing! I turn Mickey on. No Mickey! Guppies! I turn bubble guppies on. No I want Mickey!!! I've also started counting to 3, then choosing for her. Not sure if that'll work well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201227 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 06:16:42 +0000 travelgirl1 2201227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a bit of this too. I usually give her the choice of the two again or say I can take them away. If she's still wailing I take them away and wait for the following tantrum -which I ignore - to finish. The twos are awesome! Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201211 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 05:36:42 +0000 hilsy85 2201211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have similar battles. I usually just say " You can pick one of these or you can watch nothing/play with neither". It's a tough phase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201210 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 05:32:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 2201210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a little of this too. I have no answer. Our biggest battle most days is getting dressed. I offer her two outfits. She picks one (or walks to her drawer and chooses another one, whatever). I go to put it on and the thrashing starts. I try to reason with her- you picked this one. You like this shirt. Sometimes I can convince her and sometimes I start to lose it until Dh steps in and I have to leave the room. It's so frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201196 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 02:37:10 +0000 Cherrybee 2201196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked back and noticed I posted the same thing 3 months ago!! She perked up between these two posts! Maybe there is hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-very-opinionated-but-indecisive-stage-help#post-2201195 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 02:14:13 +0000 Cherrybee 2201195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh god, I don't know how to handle this. E has reached that total asshole stage. She's 22.5 months and terrible 2s are in full force. Everything I do is wrong - she whined and wailed all day yesterday. </p> <p>We usually let her watch nursery rhyme videos on youtube in the morning while we drink our coffee but recently every video we put on is greeted with a mini tantrum, "noooo! Humpty", so you put Humpty Dumpty on and she screams "nooo! Wheels on the bus!" and throws herself to the floor. So on and so forth until I lose the will to live. </p> <p>She's like this with activities (when she's inside she screams for outside but lasts 2 minutes before she's screaming for inside again), toys.... everything. I've tried giving her a choice of two (toys, tops) but she will want neither and throw a fit. I've tried giving her every toy at once but she just throws a few, collapses in the middle and has a tantrum!</p> <p>Help please :happy: . Tips, advice, commiseration - all welcome! Or just tell me this bit doesn't last long.... please! </p>
