I'm curious to see if all boys are as brutal as mine. He jumps on me, hits me, pinches, screeches, just crazy. He's only 10 months so not understanding what is right from wrong yet. Do you have:

Mine isn't like that (yet) but he's just under 9 months. I will say he scratches me though, but otherwise he's a very calm boy

Wait till 1 years old 😅
it seem increasing by time, he having fun play, crash pull my hair
He slap me by milk bottle once and love taking toys to smack around
Constantly move, try to climbing everywhere too
I teach him gentle it work for awhile but if he too excited he just go 💯

Ahahaha I'm just trying to enjoy the gentle phase, I know it probably won't last 😆

Mine has been like this for months now he’s just turned one and just gotten worse. He hits headbuts and everything but not sure why as he gets a lot of attention he only got worse but then there’s days he’s calm he’s just started to walk now so hoping he tires himself out

My first is boy, and so gentle, so sweet. My little girl is a savage, fierce and feral darling 😂

My boy was calm.
My girl is wild..😳

Oh yes absolutely and mine is 15 months

Don't think I'd use the word brutal, but my boy (16mth) is definitely a lot more to handle than my girl (almost 3yo). Definitely hits more and throws tantrums a lot more at this age than his sister did

My son is coming up to three. He has zero sense of personal space and uses me as his own personal climbing frame. He has been very active and wild from an early age. I still get hitting and kicking etc obviously at this age we try to put boundaries in place but it's hard to get him to stop without physically removing him from me. I'm expecting my second boy and don't have any hopes of a calm and chill baby/ toddler.
My boy is super sweet, cuddly and loving too but he usually even takes this too far, I don't have even a minute peace from him. I will say he is far more rough with me than his dad or anyone else.

Oh yes my boy pinches like mad he’s just coming up to 10 months he actually bruises me!

My girl will randomly continuously smack people in the face and just laugh as she continues to do it/try to.
Just normal for their age I think

I have a brutal boy and somewhat brutal girl, she’s pretty chill tho thank god and my fiancé wanted all boys😭

Calmest sweetest boy
Bonkers relentless girl

I have two brutal girls one 5 and one 3 I also have a newborn but there still time to see how brutal she gets 🤦🏻♀️😂
The attitude from 4+ is the hardest part for me. Good luck mummy’s ♥️

My son was pretty chill until 2.5 years old. He's about to be 5 and he has so much energy. He's constantly bouncing off the walls and couches. We've definitely had time outs with the hitting. We also definitely wrestle but there are limits. My son is the definition of a boy.

Relentless is a great word, definitely describes my girl too!

I can’t tell you how much I’m holding on to the afternoon nap.

I'm all scratches above the waist and all bruises below hahahah

No. None of kids ever did this. But my nanny baby did.

please tell me your secret so I can avoid it!!!

Mine stopped napping altogether by 18 months and still sleeps badly at night 😭😭 Enjoy whilst it lasts!

I only have girls and they jump on me but not the hitting and pinching. My nephew does that stuff to my sister in law.

My first boy had moments but for the most part is pretty chill but energetic. Loves tumbling/etc.
My second boy is FERAL but has moments of being sensitive 🤣 he will run head first into a wall and giggle but if you sneeze and startle him it's alligator tears and bawling for 5 minutes lol

Mine was pretty bad from like 13-15 months but the hitting and head butting has lessened significantly. He is still wild but experimenting a lot less with traditional violence, sticking more with jumping/rolling around and diving into and off the bed 🥴

My daughter is one. She’s never intentionally tried to hurt me…now her dad 😂 she might kick when she’s upset.

My first is 2yo he’s crazy too
I’ll be laying on the floor and he just throws himself on to me like I’m a trampoline, not to mention digs his elbows into my chest and thighs sometimes. My second who just turned 1 is on his way to being just like his brother, for some reason he thinks it’s funny and playful to pull hair (not only mine but his brothers too) and to literally slap the heck out of my chest. Boys are fucking ruthless. Being a boy mom definitely not for the faint of heart. I get the feeling I will be wrestling them well into their teen years🥲🥲😭

I was secretly hoping people would say it stops, but it seems like I have years left of this violence 😕🤣

I wouldn’t say brutal though but “wild” or very active ! My baby is almost 8months and he needs to climb everything and everybody, putting his nails or pinching me very hard as if I was a blanket 🫠 he also likes to give head hit like a bull 🤣 he is just very active and needs to be around me for attention. He also pull my hair very brutally… But he doesn’t and can’t understand yet :/ I try to push him away and take his hand to re-do it but gently, I hope it will help at the end

Calm girl and brutal girl, neither match for me.
I have a mischievous girl 😅
She's sweet, but very cheeky

My son dose have ADHD but he can be very calm at times and he will want to be around mom and if not he's in the living room watching a movie or playing that game on my phone Or watching YouTube kids . Or in the room watching TV

At 3.5 my son is entering this phase and omg, send help! lol we go on walks daily to help burn the energy.

I have neither a brutal son nor a calm son.
My son has calm moments, and he has boofhead moments and crazy moments, but he isn't brutal.

Wait until he started walking. 😩😬

my girl headbutts my chest when she wants the boob 😭 she’s very mean towards me but is so nice with her dad

Mines also a biter 😭
