Is the terrible 2's feeling like it's just getting worse (like it is for me, I'm losing it) or is it getting better the closer they're getting to 3?

I'm seriously getting super depressed with the turn my soon to be 3 year old's behavior has taken. I don't know what else to do.

My toddler has some wonderful awesome days where it's like she's the cutest,sweetest toddler I know......then she has threenager days that make me want to curl up in the corner of the closet. Just know, when you're going through the tough or good times, you're never alone 😊😊

@Chelsea 🥹 thank you. I've been feeling like a terrible mom, but it helps to know this is common and others are going through it too.

My daughter had a month and half of terrible twos. Hated any and everything. Threw absolute crazy fits & at some point wanted nothing to do with me and only wanted her dad. I felt like the worst mom and failure because nothing I could do made things better. Little by little our days were getting better & she would even say sorry to me when she’d get upset. She has DAYS where she’s an absolute angel and DAYS that are incredibly hard. There are starting to be more better days than bad ones. I hope your better days are coming soon 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Mine is close to 3 and some days the tantrums are SO intense. But they seem to be becoming fewer, I think every kid is different too. I have a 1 year old as well. Some days are just me praying all day not to lose my sh*t.

Haha 😄 I like that title the new strong willed child

Alpha 👶 babies maybe that's why they are called Alphas

You’re not alone. My 2y old is turning 3 in 2months and there are plenty of days I dreaded and just feel absolutely deflated..The attitude is beyond me sometimes like where did it come from!? He’s little a mini teenager sometimes 😂😭 I found that on the worst days just running him round the park or taking him to do something very energetic and keeping him occupied really helped make the day go by easier 🙈he has his good days and he’s the sweetest little boy. I just think it’s because they r becoming more self aware and have all theses feelings so I do try to understand why he’s throwing a tantrum or get him to talk about why he’s sad or upset which sometimes lead no where or sometimes actually really helps the situation. it’s just a rough road we have to go down right now but it’ll definitely get better hun 🫶🏻 don’t feel guilty your doing amazing!
