I'd like to think I've got a lot of patience, but here lately, Arianna is driving me NUTS!!! I know she just wants all my attention (what 3 year old doesn't) but I just feel like I really need a vacation or something! I feel bad saying that though. Not only is she demanding of my attention, but she is being way more whiney and snotty lately too. Maybe it's the start of what is to come with her having to share my attention with her sister? Sorry, I just needing to vent! I feel a little better now!
My kids have been wearing on my patience too lately! Matthew turns 2 today and the last week he has really been starting the "terrible 2's" with tantrums, hitting, and throwing stuff around when he gets mad! Andy was never really like that so I am not sure how to handle it. I have a feeling it will get worse for him once the baby comes too! I feel like with all the stress right now I am not able to handle it a well as before too Hopefully our kids will start behaving for us!!!
Jesse was 14-months when johnna was born, so I really babied him because I felt so bad for having another baby when he was still so young. It was a big mistake because he turned into such a terror. He is the most cuddly kid, but he definitely demands the most attention! He isn't as bad about it as he used to be, but it was hard for awhile. Good luck girls.
My five year old has been acting up as well... She is talking in baby talk, being super whiny, just all together getting on my nerves! I don't know what her issue is but I cannot deal with her acting like this and taking care of a newborn at the same time!
My son is being pretty good most days but there are days when he won't nap and I so want him too. I think with me being pregnant it makes it a bit harder. That and he kicks me in my stomach when I change his diaper and that really makes me mad but I know he doesn't really know what he is doing (he has special needs).

Well David does throw fits and hits some times but not often. He has a little bit of an attitude but it isn't that bad. Some days I wish I could have a break since it is just me here at the moment.
My son has been acting up really badly lately, too. He has picked up this horrible attitude the last few weeks, arguing with me and backtalking. I hope it is just a phase!
We're trying to teach Ethan a lot of things and get him into a different routine before Lexi gets here. His attitude has been pretty good, but there are things that he does that get on my nerves. My nephew is a little over two years old and my sister is having her baby on Thursday. She says that he's been really getting on her nerves, too. I think our kids know that the world is going to change soon and this is them rebelling.

My son who is 2 did the same things when I first told him I was pregnant. I messed up and would always refer to the baby as my baby. He really thought I was going to replace him or something I think. But then I started to say things like, "Tyler your going to have a baby sister" or The baby in my tummy is Tyler's baby". He really turned around and was proud of "HIS" baby. You should try that.
I was so happy to sign on today and see this post My DS who is normally very well behaved, has been a terror lately. He isn't being a very good listener and has been questioning EVERYTHING we ask him to do.
AWFUL! I am wondering if I am reacting differently to him because of hormones and what not....But I think whoever said they know things are about to change him the nail on the head.
Yikes! Hopefully everyones little ones get back to their sweet selves soon
Wow, sounds like we have the same three year old daughters!!! I have had it with the attitude, whining and down right not listening to a word I say. She can be so sweet and cuddly one moment and the next we are fighting tooth and nail and I have to admitt she is winning most of the time. It is truly wearing me down to the point that I am terrified of having another girl!
Thank goodness my boys are behaving, for the most part. I really hope this is a short lived phase.
Ravyn is really pretty good and loves being involved with "baby brother", she will share her toys with him by putting them on my belly. anything I've bought for him she'll look at and say "cute, is it baby brothers (bruders)"? And I say yes it is, and she's fine with it. I have to give myself blood thinner shots everyday and she knows thats for baby brother so she always wants to help me, I let her wipe of my belly with the little alcohol wipe. She's been very sweet, I just hope she stays that way!
this post makes me feel a bit better. my 6 year old step son has been a monster lately! he is normally really well behaved (well for a 6 year old boy! haha) but lately has been flat out defiant. we say one thing he does another....EVERYTHING he knows he should be doing he does and when we try to talk with him or give him time outs he just laughs at us and walks away. taking toys away don't even work...he just responds oh ok, cool!! grrrrr.....we wonder if its the baby coming but he seems so excited. we just try to give him pos. reinforcement and involve him in the baby stuff as much as possible..we are at out wits end trying to figure out how to handle him and get control of this....hoping it passes soon for all of us...
Seems like all the little ones are sensing that everything is gonna change soon. I know my little boy who is 4 is really acting up!!!!! He is driving me absolutely insane lately! All he wants is for me to do things with him ALL the time! I try so much to spend as much time with him as possible, but between work and being so tired all the time its so hard. Last night we went to bed together and watched Shrek! He loved it!
I must admit that my patience has been wearing thin lately too...All Ernest wants to do is be under me and it is sort of annoys me now....I didn't mind it at first but now I just want to relax...between work and school too I just don't want to be bothered, but I have to breath and realize that he's not 2 yet and all he wants is mommy's attention...
