Is this a phase? Does it end? Do we all just go insane?

Question

I’m not sure if it’s this leap or what...but my sassy baby is out of control. I consider myself patient...but every day I am ready to throw in the towel by 9AM. We can’t even leave to go somewhere. I am just stuck in the house with this crazy baby. 
I love her dearly. More than anything ever. But the tantrums...the throwing herself backward, the testing limits, the constant whining when I am not right next to her...or sometimes when I am. It’s just a lot. 
Here’s a picture of my grumpy darling. The one who ripped off her bib right after I said, “please keep this on.” 🤦‍♀️😩

Answer

honestly just get out of the house and go for a walk. it's so helpful to get some fresh air. my son was being WILD the other day, so we went to a park and when we got back, he was so much more calm

Answer

We're in a leap. And at home.
It has not made my depression any fucking easier! Omfg I am exhausted!
She's all over the place. Happy, hysterical tired, happy again. Freaking roller-coaster 🎢
Deep breath! Meditation helps me a tiny bit. Not a lot, but a little. If you can squeeze in ten minutes in while she's napping or something, then that might be nice.
Point being - take some you time to gather yourself whenever it's possible.

Answer

I agree it might just be a phase and pent up energy, but with my kids I have always not really given in to those things. If they start crying and I know it's just a tantrum I stop and tell them you need to stop crying first then mommy will .... 
Also if it's acting out type things, they get 2 warnings and then it's done. We put away the toys, food, whatever it was they were not doing right. 
My March baby is super happy and actually has pretty good manners and understands when I tell her these things, knows what the words mean. So it's worth a try if it's your parenting style, they are so so smart and understand so much more then we give them credit for ❤️

Answer

Well mine is doing this too. Then yesterday she didn't get her way, so she bit me, hard, I still have a mark. Im ready for this phase to be over!

Answer

Same here. I love my daughter but the tantrums get old fast! We go outside to the yard when it gets ridiculous and it makes it sooo much easier! She gets too distracted to throw a fit. 🤷‍♀️
I taught her to blow on the dandelions so now she goes out flower hunting and keeps her busy.

Answer

We. Are. The. Same. 😫 I hope it’s a phase. We can’t go outside just yet as it’s not as warm as I’d like it to be. The tantrums are becoming so overwhelming 😅 we got this momma! Sending lots of good vibes to you!!

Answer

I posted recently about mine being a grunt little turd. Started right before his birthday. Seems to be getting a TAD better... you aren’t alone mama!
