I’ve posted about my defiant toddler many times before but I’m really at a loss now. She deliberately disobeys. Like, she knows what “no” means and if she’s doing something she knows she’s not supposed to I can ask “do you want to go in timeout?” And she’ll answer “no” and SOMETIMES stop.. I can’t take her anywhere cause she refuses to listen. She runs wild, screams, throws tantrums etc. At home she’s just as bad and absolutely nothing I do or say helps. Timeout doesn’t work, hand poppings don’t work, a pop on the butt doesn’t work, I’ve tried getting down to her level and calmly explaining things or trying to make sure she knows that I understand her emotions and things like that but I’m not even kidding when I say nothing works with her. I’m constantly telling her no and even though she knows she’s going to get into trouble she will do it anyways and then cream this blood curdling scream when she does get in trouble. I’ve raided Pinterest for days, write everything down, tried everything I found... idk what else to do. Everyone keeps telling me it’s “terrible twos” or “she’s just strong willed” or that it’s normal for her age and all of that might be true but there’s gotta be some kind of something that will help me teach her to listen to me and such.

Our daughters are the same age. Born the same day if I remember right. Jasey also says no. She’ll scream No to me sometimes. She runs and hides when I try to change her diaper. She kicks when I try to hold her still. She cries until I get her out of the grocery cart. She hits us when she’s mad. She’s almost 2. I promise you it’s normal for toddlers. I’ve raised 2 kids already and I’m on my third and she’s at the “terrible two” stage as well. You need to be consistent most of all. If you don’t want her saying no, let her know that every time she says it.
Jasey is a pretty good kid and easy to watch but is difficult at times to take her out somewhere. I’ve never seen a toddler not act that way. There is the rare instance a child will just sit still when you go somewhere. But... don’t stress yourself out. Stay consistent with her and she’ll learn. When you go out in public try YouTube on your phone. I don’t let my phone babysit my kid but it does wonders when you’re out and about and need enough time to finish what you need to do. There’s lots of kids shows on there. Jasey loves Cocomelon, baby shark, baby car, etc.
I believe it’s not working for you right now because this is her toddler phase and she’s learning what she’s allowed to do and not do. It takes time. And kids try your patience. That’s why consistency is important. Like mentioned above, read up on it and see what it says. I get emails about Jaseys age and what to expect. It helps!
@alexis.moore16. First. Unblock me you coward. Secondly show me proof of your house with YOUR name on it and show me car titles with YOUR name.. Not in yo mommas name.
Y’all done lmao. I have a beautiful life, wonderful baby, boyfriend 2 cars a degree ANDDDDD a home to tend tooo.. yawn. Frankly, I’m tired of dealing with such trash lmao. Y’all are so upset that I’m better than you, in every way. Next time, ask me how I did it, instead of getting angry because you aren’t where I am in life. No matter what you all say, how many of you men comment and try to break me down, it won’t ever happen. I’m too strong of a woman.
I know a lot more about life than most people I know, and I’m proud of that. Pop your child, don’t pop your child I don’t care. It’s your life lmao. I’m happy regardless because I have a lot to live and simply be happy for. It must suck to be so miserable. Imbecile. Lmao. I didn’t receive a picture, you guys are still talking shit while I sit in my home, with my family.
@monkeysalwayswins, think what you want lmao. My checks will always be bigger than you. It’s enough to feed your whole family if needed :)
@monkeysalwayswins, @cams, where do we mail the pics of us in our scrubs? 🤔
Oh, and @sandycheekz, probably wears scrubs at her job too.
Only 20, and I’ve clearly accomplished more than you, which is why you are in awe.
Where do I mail my certificates to and my videos of me playing 16 instruments?
@dee2115, lmao like you’d actually mail something that doesn’t exist. 16 instruments and a certificate? Damn that’s all. No job? No car? No home? Damn girl
@alexis.moore16, well you’re the one bragging about everything you “have”. I’m just sitting here listening. 😂 did I need to write down all of my belongings, family, career..etc.
I tried ignoring you and your still trolling. Stfu dusty ass bitch and learn how to fucking read. You illiterate, grade school drop out. Go do something productive like give your kids the attention you are desperately giving me. Go knit, learn how to play 8 instruments like me, graduate college like me, have an obedient child like me, have a man with good paying job like me, work in a hospital like me, love yourself regardless of what some random bimbo on the internet thinks of you, like me! Wanted my attention so bad, surpass me. Then you’ll get it the way you want it.
@monkeysalwayswins, I left high school when I was 17, and started college. I graduated earlier this year. I have had my own place for 2 years now, and I got my first car at 16, working at chickfila, second car this year. Sorry love. Please reach my level of success then try to deliberate my life and choices.
I guess it’s a good thing I’m not a drinker. I bet you get drunk and pass out with ya kids running around snotty nose 😂 sis get ya money up, then worry about me and mine.
Damn! How’d you know?! Will you come wipe their noses for me? I’m too drunk to find a Kleenex. That is..after you’re back from your mommy taking you to the doctors.
I might then I’ll cry, I might even feel depressed about it and cry myself to sleep, Dee. Lmao or I might, not give a shit like now. It’s pointless as hell to continue arguing with me. Misery loves company and you won’t be accompanied by me. 🧚🏾♀️
I can only assume like how you only assume, right? My child also doesn’t hit others lmao! So, as I’ve said I popped him, and now look where we stand today. AGAIN, to each their own! Bliss bliss bliss ! You seem like you need a good date or something honey. Go blow off some steam elsewhere. This is one argument you won’t win, simply because every child is different and reacts different. Needless to say, I just don’t care for you nor your opinion baby girl. Back to my prize child I go!! Let me know if you need a babysitter . :)
@monkeysalwayswins, you are literally ignorant as hell. You don’t deserve anymore responses from me
LMAO. You’re a joke. I hope that one day you’ll see how dumb your comments have sounded.
@alexis.moore16, so let’s lay out some facts since you say that I’m the one assuming. You’re 20 years old, but say you have a 7 year old. And when you were 14 you spanked someone else child.
All sounds right to me. 🤔
Dee, I can only imagine how your child runs around hitting you, and disobeying you as you whisper “no baby don’t hit mommy” while mine already knows to keep his hands to himself! Kick rocks lmao bad mommy’s attacking good mommy. Must be something in the air 🤪
It’s not a sign of bad parenting. Mine are disciplined without violence. I use time out, take away outings, screen time, etc. Even then they can still be little turds. It’s not for lack of trying on my part. They’re just strong willed children. Not all kids can listen and follow the rules at a young age. They lack impulse control still. Patience is a virtue.
@cams, as for her child I’m sure that didn’t work which is why she’s here lol. Good parenting tho. I give you mad props !
Lol I’d love to babysit. You considered my comment rude, well that’s on you. 😂 get over yourself girl. Go play with ya babies or something. Mwah☺️@dee whatever. Not gonna argue with you lol.
@alexis.moore16, talking about grown people business.. you gotta wait for your mom to give you a ride to the doctor 😂😂
Talking about grown folks but sis can’t even legally drink 😅 lord have mercy

My mom swears that she’s such a good kid when she stays with her, and any time she’s home with her daddy she minds so well but anytime I’m around she’s just totally different I guess lol the taking her out thing is the hardest because I don’t ever have a babysitter so she literally goes everywhere with me which I don’t mind until she starts showing out and acting crazy and wild 😩 how do you get the emails though? I’ve never knew about that lol
@caseyann19, start an account at babycenter. They’ll email you each week with new things that might be going on with your growing toddler.

It’s not that I’m for hitting a toddler, because I’m not. But at some point when you run out of options, a little tap nothing hard enough to hurt the child but to remind them who’s in charge. My nephew is 4, I’ve never hit him although his mom has always told me too ! I used a different approach and it worked with him. He listens to me more than his mother. On the other hand, this 2 year old, I met when I was 14, was horrible tbh. He hit me, never listened, broke a lot of my things, couldn’t take him anywhere couldn’t tell him no. Basically like your child. So, one day, I popped his lil self and he slowly started listening. To each their own because every child is different.
If she isn’t even 2 yet then she most likely isn’t understanding why she is being punished for her actions. It’s takes work but a lot of redirecting can help. Also, kids feed off of our emotions so if you are getting stressed/ upset when she is being defiant she will most likely feel that and react that way. Sometimes it’s best to walk away for a few mins then come back and show her why she can’t do whatever she is doing.
I try my best to make sure I’m calm before I ever discipline because I don’t want to do that out of anger or anything and I repeatedly explain to her ever if she is still too young to understand but I know she feeds off of my emotions so sometimes we both just end up frustrated and it just goes nowhere 😩
Mine is the same. Runs plum wild. Nothing helps. She minds my husband but not me.
My daughter minds my brother the best but is usually pretty good with her daddy too. My brother has that “intimidating” look to him. He’s like 6 foot something and like 200 some odd pounds and has a deep voice 😂 he’s literally never had to do anything more than say “Dakota Grace” and she immediately stops and goes and gives him loves 🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂😂
I agree with consistency and redirecting and trust me I use that more than anything else but like the rest she doesn’t get it and it doesn’t work no matter how consistent I am with it
@alexis.moore16, why don’t you go babysit ol wise one 😊
Funny when the Op is nicer than a random person on her post. 🤦🏻♀️ nothing about my post was rude, nor was I being a smart ass..unlike someone.
@caseyann19, I know it’s hard. My son is 3, and he’s still difficult. Just try to stick to it and do like a being good chart with some smiley faces? Hopefully something will change for you!
At this point, a little tap not to overboard should help out. The article might as well, it is YOUR child. I’m sorry this is happening! She does need to learn “no” So, don’t stop saying no.
She's not even 2 yet. It isn't intentional malice. Read up on childhood development. Stop saying no, stop hitting your kid.
@laniejay, well props to you for being one of those moms and as I respect your opinion I disagree. There’s a very fine line between discipline and abuse. If I “lightly pop” my daughter’s hand while she’s trying to stick a fork in a wall outlet and then explain to her why she shouldn’t do that, it’s discipline. If I yank her up by her arm and swap her back side a few times because she done something I didn’t like, that’s abuse. But that’s just the way I see it. Your opinion isn’t what struck my nerves it was your judgment towards me that I didn’t appreciate. Since our parenting styles are so different though it would probably be best if we just stop our conversation here and let things go. Have a nice day and merry Christmas! 🙃
@caseyann19 cool, kudos to you for being a wife whose husband can "lightly pop" you... or whatever cutesy name you want to use to make you feel better about it. I an definitely "one of those parents" who uses fact based information to provide my children with the healthiest environment possible
@caseyann19, why you giving your kid metal utensils and why aren’t your outlets covered? That’s your fault and she shouldn’t be punished.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Almost lost my s*** on this rude lady...
My son threw a horrid tantrum at Target; it started in the bathroom. He was yelling and hitting me, screaming he had to potty even though he had literally just gone. After 10 minutes of him hitting me, screaming, kicking, and rolling on the floor, I yanked his pants up and had to get our quick trip done. He was kicking me and pulling my hair, so I just held onto him and whispered and tried to calm him. He's never done this before. It took 5 minutes to ...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
