re: my kid is being a brat

Quoting Baby Factory 2000:“ That's a time out offense in my house”

Yeah - Igave a time out. How do you think I got bitten the second time? She got up from the time out, charged me headfirst like a ram, all while screaming, and CHOMP on my leg. LOL (but not really).

She is feeling MUCH better. She was quite sick with highfever Sunday and Monday. Poor thing. The fever broke yesterday and she got her stamina and energy back, and was royally pissed off about being stuck in the house all day again!

I hate it when their sick and they start acting out! You know it's not relaly their fault, but you have to wonder about how much of it is a sympathy play

I know - it's a fine line. They need more TLC and indulgence when they are sick, and you can understand b/c you know they feel like crap. But once they start feeling a little better, it seems there are often bad, bad habits to break. This morning all I had to say was "would you like to go to school today?" She grabbed her coat, ran to the door and said "bye mama." I think we needed today apart from each other LOL (and here I am at work on BG...)

She is almost 18 mos. Someone told me this is when the terrible twos start...

Oh yeah, we go through that all of the time! We just had Grammy down for a visit too, so breaking those habits was really fricking hard! It takes about a week to get back into the swing of things. My youngest is about 15 months and it has already started...I think it just depends of the kid
