March 2024 Babies 🇺🇸

It seems like a lot of us mommas are going through it right now but how are yall dealing with the constant tantrums? My son cries and throws stuff, will flop to the floor if we try to go anywhere and had the worst separation anxiety towards Dad. Something that doesn’t help is we have a 2 month old now. We’ve tried to limit the amount of big changes for him. It’s gotten to a point where I dread leaving the house. He’s unhappy at the park, at the library, at church, at the store, etc

I keep reading all these books that say things like "here's what to do if your toddler doesn't want to brush their teeth.." or "here's what to do when they don't want to take a bath.." what do I do if my son likes doing those things? Don't say redirection because that is my biggest weak spot. If I let him wash his hands, he screams when I pull him away from the sink. When I give him a bath, I have to fight to get him out of the tub when the water runs cold. When we brush our teeth, I'm chasing him around the house to get the toothbrush back from him.

Has anyone figured out how to go to the bathroom alone yet? Because I would really enjoy just sitting in silence for two minutes without convincing my two year old to not flush while I’m sitting and not to play with the toilet paper 🙃

I talked to another mom who said both of her daughters stopped taking a nap at 18 months old so now I'm wondering if I should just use this sleep regression to my advantage and cut my son's nap out now.. he does okay-ish.. he starts getting tired by 4:30-5pm and that's when we eat dinner, we pick up our toys, get in the bath, and then get in bed by 7pm. Is this okay?

My daughter recently gets mad over ANYTHING, and when we try to offer solutions, she gets more mad. I try to just let her be but my partner isn’t a fan and we have people who live with us. I don’t want to give In all the time but it’s been so hard recently
