@starlight2054, she had a full blown throwing herself on the floor tantrum Tuesday at the mall play area. I could feel all the stares like I was beating her. I couldn't get out of there quick enough.

I'm at the terrible two's with my second now. I forget how lovely the tantrums are in public lol

I can usually ignore the screaming. It's her not listening that frustrates me. She's so stubborn ( she may or may not get that from me 😬) but so smart and knows what she's doing is wrong. For example she'll say " I don't bite bubba." And then proceeds to do the very thing she just said she wasn't suppose to do. We are working on using our words rather than having a complete meltdown. I know it will get better. I'm being impatient that's all.
