my two year old is sending me round the bend... he is a screamer. and he does it all day every day, for the littlest of things, when he wants something, when he is frustrated, when he is happy, hungry, and i hate it.
just wanted to rant... i know it is lack of communication skills and he has unfortunately picked it up from his mother... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Sending you all my sympathies!! My sixteen month old has just mastered that super-annoying high pitch whinge for anything he wants, and it is driving me around the bend!! I am considering trading him in for a better behaved model!! (nah, not really, I'd miss him, but it was a nice thought for those three seconds!!) ------------- Anna and Quinn 10 July 2004 www.quinnariki.blogspot.com and one more on the way.... http://lilypie.com">

I was going to reply last night, but got stuck on the phone...
Maya never really did the screaming thing (maybe because she was quite verbal quite early) but I can sympathise with how frustrating it is because she whinges instead, and whinging is one thing that really gets under my skin. I don't really have any advice, other than that the more words he learns the less he will scream (in theory) so it might just be a waiting game... (PS. LOL about the communication skills - I hope Maya hasn't inherited my 'foot in mouth' disease -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Nice to know I am not the only one with this problem! I have a 15 month old who cries all the time for no apparent reason and it really wears you down. When I attend our coffee group all the other babies play happily and my wee boy just crys the whole time - it really makes you feel like a faliure at times and does not make for enjoyable outings. He also head butts things, throws himself backwards and generally hurts himself if he is frustrated (which dosen't take much) Maybe its a clingy stage, or teething or ????? maybe this is what being a Mum is all about :o) |

Hang in there ladies, it does get better. Liam used to do same thing - screaming all day long, crying & very clingy - it was thoroghly depressing.[:^] But now that he's 2 1/2 & can tell us what he wants he's a lot less frustrated...although now he follows me around the house "Mum, Mum...*whining tone*... ------------- Liam Blake 10-12-03 & Kye Jarrod 12-09-01 |

we have Paris who despite always being great with communication and all that kinda stuff, and has always beena happy child, has decided that crying over everything right now is the way to go. if she can't do something she cries, if i ask her to hop on the toilet - she crys, if i say i'm going to do her hair, she cries. everyday little things like asking her to put on her shoes make her cry, it's as if she just can't take being asked to do something. I know maybe it's just cos she doesn't want to, but come on, we have to explain EVERY LITTLE THING to get her to do stuff sometimes. It is wearing me down, i think she cries more now than she ever did as a baby! nice to know others are going just as batty as me. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

| Kobe grunts or moans if he wants something and it drives me crazy. Im getting firmer though and wont give in until he asks nicely which he is quite capable of doing. He doesnt like asking for things but if I has him if he wants something its always 'no thanks' to everything! or I get 'muuum where are you?' constantly even if I tell him where i am its still where are you until he can actually see me |
