What has been the roughest year for you as a parent, as far as your LO's behavior goes?
Man, year 3 has been ROUGH. It has really tested my patience as a parent. Add a 2 year old into the mix and it was extra difficult. LO1 is almost 4 and and I'm really hoping we can catch a bit of a break!

Right at 3 for sure. I had a really hard time learning her triggers, figuring out what worked best for avoiding them/dealing with them, etc. It got better by 3.5, and at 4, we're in a good groove!

We are having some MAJOR emotional meltdowns right now...it started around 3.75 and is still in full swing the month after turning 4. She was a very easy 2 to 3 year old - had me thinking terrible 2's weren't even a thing!

So far 3.5-4 (he'll be 4 on Monday). I'm ready to tear my hair out. And I've been told by 3 of my sisters-in-law that 3-5 was SO HARD it didn't really change until they turned FIVE.

3 was really bad. He turned 4 at the end of March and it still seems pretty bad. The tantrums aren't as often/long but man. He pushes buttons like you wouldn't believe. I do have to say he is getting easier to reason with but only when he feels like listening.

I found the months leading up to 3 really, really tough..... I think we are getting into a bit of a groove now she's actually 3 but damn the attitude.
