Son has became very naughty in the last week

He screams in your face when he wants something or throws it at you. He throws rubbish on the floor and even behind the TV, when I tell him to tidy up he throws a tantrum and cries even when he isn't playing with the toys and if I tidy them up my self he doesn't react to me putting them away. I find my self raising my voice to him a lot because he doesn't listen, I tell him more than once to do something he ignores me, starts to cry or runs away. Like I know he's only a toddler and he knows no better. But it's starting to drive me insane I'm patient as I can be with him but there are a lot of times I snap at him. Honestly I feel like I'm good in every department when it comes to looking after my little ones but the behaviour side of things yeah I can't deal with it I just get frustrated too easily which I know is on me, I promised my self I would break the cycle of raised voices but I just feel major Mum guilt everytime my son goes to bed. Like I look forward to his bed time every day because he's just being way too much. I am handling 2 kids just fine (my baby is 4 months old) if I be honest with my self. Like I see so many parents with good children at this age but my son is just a little 💩. I know he will grow out of it but the tantrums are only just starting for me. Like I even hate going out with him to the shops because hes so loud I just find it embarrassing, like I know I should just ignore it but just feel like a failure when I get looks. Like the other week I was so proud of my self I took both my little ones out, my son in his buggy and I wore my daughter in her carrier, yeah it was really good but like half an hour into being at the shopping centre he started playing up and my anxiety was through the roof and I just hurried my self in every shop which is what I hate doing. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I feel like I could have written this myself, except I have twins and they are both going through this at the moment. Once slightly worse than the other. I don’t have any words of wisdom but hope you can find some comfort in it not just being your child and the possibility of it being developmental at this age.

I feel you! This is my little boy too 😫 the tantrums are getting worse and worse! My little girl is 9 months and I feel like superwoman when I'm out with both but my toddler, obviously, has no understanding of embarrassment or danger so it can be very nerve-wracking when there is one of me, two of them and I'm out and about. At home, he hits, throws, shouts and screams, bites, throws himself on the floor etc. I just ignore until he is ready to calm down and then we cuddle and apologise, when and if he wants to. During the tantrum, if I try to cuddle or touch him, it gets worse, hence the reason I ignore (making sure he's safe of course)

This has just started for us, we had an "easy" 2 year old until last week now all hell has broken loose!

I’ve always had a more difficult one but atm it’s pure hell. Waking up at 4am last 3 nights shouting from the moment he gets up. It’s the wrong tv program the wrong breakfast the wrong juice. Anything for a shout and scream really. Me and my partner literally feel bullied at home haha clock watching till bed time. Please please let this pass. Definitely agree with no understanding of danger and embarrassment. I really feel I can’t take him anywhere! Even family members make comments - so hard to know the best way to deal with it. I’d love to start potting training but would be impossible atm x

This was me the last 2 days, Its soul destroying 😢 Mine was being such a terror in lidl he tried to throw a bottle of wine I just caught it in time

@Clare yeah my heart skipped a beat earlier my son threw a car and it missed the TV by a centimeter not even joking really couldn't deal with him breaking another TV

On days like these I feel like I'm on a toddler assault course. There's something every minute and you're just running from A to B like a maniac
