If you had a difficult toddler. Did it get better?

Our sons 2 years and 7 months and tbh even as a baby has always been hard. He’s a nightmare at the moment and I often worry the same if he’s ever going to calm down 😣

Outings for us sometimes just are not worth it!!

One of her first playdates was with a mom I met on here, she was 1 then. The other baby wasn’t walking yet and mine was just barely walking. She kept standing up to smack the other baby on the head, the mom never messaged me again 😅

She’s currently 3 and plays very well with her friend of almost 2 years, talks about missing her and everytime they get together they may argue but always leave hugging each other or don’t wanna leave lol so in my case it got better, maybe she’s just more compatible with this friend. Maybe your toddler isn’t compatible with your friends kids

Honestly 2 was fine for us, 3 has been hell🤣

I have been having trouble with my 2 year old but now it’s closer to her third birthday and I can finally go out with her without it becoming a tantrum. I think it really is just a phase maybe a developmental hard time?

Literally a few weeks before she was flailing tantrum because I had to hold her hand in Walmart. Hated being in the car=screaming. Acted like she could never hear me.

Now she sits in the buggy happy to talk to me. Sits in her highchair at a restaurant and eats her food perfectly fine. Listening a bit better. Happy to be in the car. This Easter weekend she was happy and amazing. Ate her food,played with other kids and was happy as can be. It’s like she woke up a new child.

It gets better for sure you aren’t alone

My little boy has always been like this and he's 4 now 🙈 we literally have the exact same issue

😭 same entering the terrible 2’s

My 3 year old is a nightmare, always has been.

it got much better but we have completely switched parenting style. completely got rid of his ipad, strict bedtime of 7:30, no sweet treats unless he’s properly attempted all 3 meals, any hitting or tantrums we would ask once and if he chose not to listen we put him in his bedroom or stop whatever we were doing to go home, as soon as he realised that we weren’t joking and he actually only had one chance he soon started to listen. think me and my partner were being too relaxed and realised we needed to sort it out before he gets older (he’s 3 years 6 months so not quite a toddler) and now he is like a different child x

Things got much easier for us after 2.5, less tantrums more attitude but I’ll take that any day after the hell she put us through in terrible two’s 😅 she’s now 3.5 and very rarely are trips out hardwork

My little girl is my wild child, I remember 2 being hard as she didn’t want to be in her pram but wouldn’t hold my hand and would run off and not listen. She would throw a tantrum if we left somewhere where she was having fun. She’s just turned 3 now and is still wild but listens much better, will hold my hand and never runs off now, thank goodness!
