Jessica,

I have some of the same problems you do with my 2 year old boy. He's always had a bit of a temper but usually pretty easy to calm down. The last 2 weeks have been horrible!! He used to throw tantrums 1 time a day, usually at bedtime and be asleep within a couple of minutes. Now, he is throwing tantrums all day long, either because I didn't pour his milk "right", or I tell him I can't play right now. I think to myself, my god, I go to bed listening to this child scream and cry and I wake up listening to this child screaming and crying!! I just wanted to let you know that I don't think you are doing anything wrong, and I've tried everything you have. I just kind of ignore him until his tantrum is over. Also, I have a 10 year old son who did the same thing, I even thought maybe he had ADHD!! The good news is he was just student of the week at school and he makes straight A's.

My advice is just keep doing what you are doing, try not to feel guilty, 2 year olds are very selfish little people. It might help if you could get a couple of hours a week away to yourself (although sometimes a couple of days would work better!!) Hang in there, and remember, it might be the terrible 2's but I call it the treacherous 3's!
