Two Year Old out of Control

Well I took her to the park today on your suggestion and she was perfectly behaved til we left the park and got back home. Now she has reverted right back to terror again. I am not sure as to why unless its the confusion. I tried to sit down and play with her and she didn't want anything to do with it.

My third child is going to be three this April. I smile when you said that she was perfectly behaved til you left the park. My daughter used to throw tantrums when we go out and she doesnt want to leave. Try ignoring her tantrums and when she stops, tell her that if she behaves, you will take her to the park. In case of my daughter I try to tell her if this behaviour continues,'no more going out!' I suggest that you try different methods to discipline her. Try a few times one method and if the behaviour doesnt improve try another. The important is to not give up. My two going on three insists on sleeping on wee hours of the morning. Last night she slept at 3 am. I know that if I were to wake her up now which is at 8.30 in the morning, she will sleep at a normal hour at night. But she is so full of energy and letting her sleep is giving me so much peace. My plan is to put her in school next year and the routine will set my life back to normal. Right now I am going with the flow.

Thanks for the BR! Both of us have to be patient right now. At least when your 3 month old gets older you will be a more experienced mother. It is hard but there will come a time when all these will be fond memories to be shared with your children and your friends.

Her dad and I are not on anytype of speaking terms. We can not actually sit down and discuss and he's only home about a week a month if that. It's his wife that is primary caregiver at their home and everyhting is her way or no way. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is. She is really too young to ger her involved in those activites.

That is a possibility- Normally she is only supposed to be there a day or two and ends up staying for a week or two at a time without my consent so it's possible. They just recently started enforcing my bedtime for her and according to them she is a perfect angel. I also thought maybe it's because she has her little sister at my house that is almost 3 months old. I am not sure I know in the very beginning there was issues with her behavior when the baby came home from the hospital.

She gets plenty attention one on one.One whole day a week me and her spend together and she also gets 6-8 hours a day of me to herself without interruptions. So I don't think it's that I am depriving her of attention.
