Griff has hit this awful stage...he will scream holy hell and throw himself on the floor, hit me in the face. We can't hardly go to the store anymore b/c he wont get in the buggy...he wants to be carried or run around like a damn monkey. I am NOT one of those parents who let their children run wild and do nothing. I can't stand that, If I tell you once, I mean it...there will be second time. Granite that Griff is still little so that rule doesn't really apply yet. But he does know when he's doing something wrong, so I will pop him on his butt and say no. One of these days I am going to go off on someone....we will be in a store and Griff is pitching a fit and get a crazy look from someone. I just wanna say "what the hell are you looking at, you never seen terrible two's" I feel like going up to them and slapping them.
I will catch myself laughing sometimes, I will be in middle of disciplining him and he will give me a smile and I can't help but to hug him. He's just so dang cute! I mean look at this face!

Oh hell! I still go through that and Brea is 3 1/2. I feel it's worse now because she is so vocal with her voacabulary that she knows just the right things to say that will make me tear her ass up when we get home. I gave up with the front part of the buggy after many battles. Seems like if I put her in the grocery part she is fine.. Hell, I even let her pick out one thing.. non chocolate or a lot of sugar and let her munch on it while we shop for groceries. I dare someone to say something about it. It's not like I'm not going to pay for the damn thing ya know? :) Hang in there. you'll find what works for you guys when your out in public to keep them sane... Sometimes it works and sometimes it still doesn't. The joys of parenthood. Lord help us! :)
ReplyDeleteOHH yes i love tots and tantrums! lol
ReplyDeleteAbby is actually the only one of my 4 who doesnt have the FULL blown ones AMEN! lol
Oh I am totally with you on that one! Jimmy is 17 months now and just starting to act a bit more umm....independent? lol He has starting pitching a fit I bring him inside (he loves to play outside) or if I try to get him to do something he doesn't want to. Usually I can distract him with something else to make him forget what he is upset about, but I am not looking forward to the months to come! And I do the same thing when he makes those cute little "upset" faces, it is just so hard not to laugh or smile!
