I don’t know my daughter anymore???
Lately…she’s been…a menace honestly!!! She’s not following what we say, disobeying me, getting into everything she’s not supposed to! Hitting me, throwing tantrums, screaming in the car, throwing items, throwing food and I feel like I don’t know her anymore.

It can be part of her being a toddler my son started acting the same way!
My baby draws my blood on a weekly basis like a vampire 😂😂😂
Yes it’s a part of being toddler but as a mom and my experience I can suggest you that when her days start show her extra love like playing , hugging , cuddling , singing her favorite rhymes give her kisses all the time and it changes her behavior through out the day because I used to get frustrated and annoyed but then I started doing jumping playing with my toddler and he gets calm & happy through out the day. Let’s try this even if you don’t feel like to because in the end they are our kids and
Crying is the only way they are communicating with us so stay calm and if she does anything unapproved do still calmly and politely tackle the situation. I hope it will work for you as well
I used to feel this way but I read somewhere "your baby is not trying to give you a difficult time, they are going through a difficult time." It kind of helped me calm myself down and approach her tantrums with a bit more grace.
Same. She’s a tiny tyrant. I need this phase to be over w already
Aaahh haha I call my daughter a menace almost daily (not to her, but when someone asks what shes doing its usually "oh, just being a menace...again" lol). From what ive read its also a part of them realizing theyre an individual human, and exploring that, while still completely lacking emotional regulation skills. So biting, hitting, pinching, tantrums, crying, screaming...its all either figuring out how their environment reacts to them, exploring the idea of "choice", trying to communicate when they lack the words, a total lack of emotional regulation, or a combination. It's so hard for us to deal with, but its even harder for them. Imagine the most overstimulated you've ever been, and now Imagine you're incapable of speaking, while also learning like 50 new things a day, and thats basically a toddler. It'll get better tho, you've got this!!
Yup my daughter is the same right now
