Super strong willed toddler.

I've found that my daughter likes having choices. I give her the option between two things that are acceptable to me. Like, do you want to take a shower or a bath? Do you want Mama or Dada to give you a bath? For the most part she'll choose one of the options but there are still times she just says no lol. Gotta stay patient and consistent when that happens.

The thing is she like likes the. Bath but wants the

Vessel am cleaning her with and she has her own little bucket to play with and I am like I'll let u play but let me get soap out of your body and hair first and then u can play..I seriously repeat Everytime as calmly as I could but she just kept snatching from me and I lost it

She had lot of bath toys to play with and I tried redirecting first but that's all she wanted to do is get snatchy with me and. Amm like I am gonna let u play in water but u need to get cleaned first

It's just too stressful 😭

Sounds to me like you need a break and support. Maybe it's not your daughter that's the problem.
Seems like you and your husband need to work out new boundaries and responsibilities

*deep sigh that's sounds like it. ☠️

To be honest, stop doing a bath every day. We used to do one everyday and then she turned 2 and hated it. It’s not worth the fight.
Or let her play for a few minutes and then start. We have three different water things, but my toddler will take the one I’m using out of my hand every single time. I will stop trying, stand up and give her a few minutes to play. Then try again with rinsing her hair.

It sounds like you are rushing the whole bath time making it miserable for both of you.

We also stopped doing a bath every day. More like every other day unless he got really messy.

Recently we started a marble system with my son and he’s been really receptive to that. He gets one marble in the morning and one marble in the evening in his jar if he has ears and makes demands without whining. He can then use the marbles towards fun activities with us later.

I shout a bit or give a deep voice and have her watch a show so I could gather my energy. I too get little irritable at times when my toddler does something dangerous or loses it because she didn’t get her way. But same overall loving little girl that has moments like us all. we deal with our children more then anyone we aren’t going to be 24/7 Ms.Rachel we are human and get burn out. We aren’t perfect but regardless I make time each day to balance out our little back and forths (my child is a big talker). Arts and crafts and some activity she loves to do a hour before bed or bath and just moments to just sit interacting throughout the day as much I can as I wfh. I say that to say you are definitely not the first mom to loose it at times and then get frustrated when your not helped much and judged for not having consistent energy to manage toddler up and downs.

My daughter loves baths but she hates hair wash baths. I find foam toys that stick to the wall really helped and is a great distraction. It’s almost like playing with magnets on the fridge . Every kid is different but might keep her excited or busy enough to give a quick bath. They can be found in Target or dollar tree same thing regardless which store

Thanks girls our bath time improved when I set boundary with counting down the numbers from 10 to 1 and then we stop the tap. I let her stay in the bath and I switched her bath time to evenings before bedtime so I have time too. She plays until the water completely drains and then comes out herself now.. 🥺 I bought one more small bucket for her and told her the big one is mine with which I bathe her and small one is she can play with.. that helped. And I also put some new balls inside with foam oetters for her to play
