Any suggestions on how to get a two year old to understand that we just cannot watch Mickey Mouse, all day, everyday? Lol.

Seriously though, he likes other shows and we know he does but lately if it's not Mouse that's on then he'll watch whatever is on for a few minutes and then cry and say "I don't like this show" and "I wanna watch Mouse". But we tell him that the show that's on is what is on right now so it's either he has to watch whatever cartoon is on or we're changing it to something daddy wants to watch. And then he'll watch whatever is on. But then again, he'll say the same things, that he doesn't like it and he wants to watch Mouse.

We're trying to get him to understand the life lesson of "you don't always get what you want" but we don't want to be mean about it..

@mommamandy0716, if both houses don't parent the same at least for these thing nothing will change his behavior sadly.

See, we try that too, but he's just so darn stubborn lol he understands when he's in time out that he did something wrong but then he'll go right back to acting the same way. It's just hard because we don't really know how he is raised at his moms. @hart.momma

We've tried everything and it always comes to the point of letting him have what he wants, but I don't want him to think that if he cries and throws a fit then that means he's going to get his way every time. @butterfli_luv

Literally nothing works, we try the whole "I watch something, you watch something" and it doesn't work. We have Netflix and he knows that, if I tell him that Mouse isn't on then he asks if he can watch it on my phone. The biggest thing is, he has an issue with sharing, he doesn't share with anyone and he absolutely hates when things don't go his way. He is very smart and knows his way around things to get what he wants. He has cousins that are the same age as him and they don't watch the same things he watches so we try to tell him that when they come to play then you have to watch something they like and then he can watch Mouse and then at that point, he cries and doesn't even want to play with them. I just don't want to keep giving in and letting him have what he wants and then him continue to be that way when his brother gets older or when he starts school. @hart.momma

No two year old is going to understand that life lesson. We use Netflix. Or I tell my son "mommy gets to a watch a show, then you watch yours okay?" & he says okay. Occupy him with toys. It's not really a lesson you can teach him at 2 when he doesn't understand. & theres no real way to just get him to understand it. Their brains don't work like ours do at our age. It takes time to make the connection
