So now that Laszlo is quickly entering his terrible two's (is there really such a thing?) - My child has never had anything remotely resembling terrible twos. My mother says they are a myth of ****ty parenting. My goodness. Niiiiiice. THAT's what Jen wants to hear. :-P'''' Hey Jen....two is hard...not enuf vocabulary, too little to be big, too big to be little. Hang in there. hold him while we're standing up...no sitting, no stroller, nada! And of course, when he doesn't get his way, he screams. Bummer to be him. That would be my attitude anyway. Wasn't it you just speaking of an offensive tone in another post???? Dawn Dawn, Thanks...I really love when someone here sticks up for me. Makes me feel good. :-) I was just going to ignore the post, but I am appreciative that you did not. - Jen I am sorry. I was not TRYING to be offensive. I re-read my message and even *I* find it offensive. I am sorry. S P.S. I am not going to try to say what I was trying to say. My husband has a saying "when in a hole, stop digging." S I think I read it the way you meant it I didn't notice it as offensive right away... -- Edith oht nak |

Good for you! I feel for your pet peeve. When people start looking at me I just glare back and say she's two. My son used to have a T-shirt that said "Warning: I am two." --Helen |

My New Pet Peeve
"Irene" wrote in message om... Thank you - I needed to see that! ;-) Lately, it seems like when people ask how Thomas is, my response is, "He's 2. He's very, very 2." I'm really hoping 3 will be better, in his case. Granted, there are also times when he is incredibly delightful, but there are times...I once spent almost 20 minutes trying to get him into the carseat after daycare as he was screaming, "No like Mommy," and I *know* the people across the street were staring. Fortunately, no one said anything. I try not to take it personally - when he screams "Go 'way, Mommy" while I'm driving, I'm often tempted to say, "I'm going away as fast as I can, but you keep following me!" Irene mom to Thomas 7/01 #2 EDD 4/10/04 LOL ... my old neighbour was an incredibly calm mother who used the "ignoring" technique for tantrums (as long as the child was safe). At the age of 3, her extremely determined DD ( now 19 years old) used to shout "Hey! Evil One!" when calling out to her in a public place . Nobody knew where the child got it from (although we suspect that my brother ... about 12 years old at the time .... probably taught that particular phrase to her It did draw some stares at the time.
