    man i'm getting confused with the other dad's thread and having clown baby in the title of this one lol.

    anyways Futureman, will she not stop screaming or have you not let it go on for long enough to tell yet?

    We have let her go for about 5 minutes but at that point you realize she's more determined to scream than you are to block it out

    i'd say its just a phase that you have to get through (as with everything babies/toddlers/kids), sucks i know, but is what it is for now.

    So she just adopted the dark, she wasn't born into it. That's probably the problem.

    My son just turned 3 and it's like a switch clicked on because he's having the worst temper tantrums, telling daddy he's the boss and the words no and I don't want to have been his go to non stop.

    This is crazy and nothing like his first two great years. I hate the age of 3 and I'm only 2 weeks in

    stay strong....it's gotten a little better recently (3 1/2) but for a little while every time I said no to him...he'd scream NO!!!!!! back at me. All the stuff you said happened too.

    Its kinda crazy because we have been very lucky with his temperament and lack of embarrassing or frustrating moments.

    I feel he's probably a little frustrated with us as well because we are really trying to push this potty training with him and he refuses to tell us he has to go. But if we leave him naked he will go by himself to the toilet and use it properly. But if we leave a pullup or undies he just pees in them.

    Me: Do you need to use the potty?

    Him: No

    Me: You sure? You don't want to potty in your pants.

    Him: No daddy, not right now

    Me: :killme:

    Change it to
    "Let us know when you have to go potty" and repeat it every 5-10 min. It'll cut down on the power struggle.

    And eliminating pull-ups will help him learn faster. Pick a weekend where you can cut off the outside world, load mini Bankz up with water, throw away the pull-ups but keep him in underwear/clothes, and keep telling him "let us know when you need to go potty" every 5-10 min.

    My son woke up crying and said his head hurt. We quickly figured out he had a fever so we let him sit with us for a little while. My wife asked if he wanted to watch Paw Patrol and he responded "no, football with daddy." I was thinking this is all pretty great until he puked all over me. Ugh.

    first cold of the little man's life, stuffy nose which is tough with breastfeeding or pacifier, and just not feeling great. hopefully he comes out of it soon.

    We moved him to his own room this week, so naturally wife is worried about something different every night this week that could kill him. I've tried to soothe her and help, but at some point she has to just let it go.

    I'm sleeping great. No remorse.

    oh I'm not gonna give her the big boy pants talk or anything, I'll be sweet to her cause I know it's tougher for her.

    But I'm also not going to feel bad about balancing her out, letting the little man be independent as he grows up, learn lessons the hard way etc. This is just the initial stages of that haha

    I've found in my small experience that Antibiotics work pretty quickly with the little ones.

    Strep is the worst especially when they can barely communicate what's wrong at a early age.

    We are moving for September 1. The place we live now is where we've been for about 3/4 of our son's life and the only place he remembers. Any suggestions on easing this transition for him?

    What's the best way to clip a 2 month old's fingernails? I haven't tried it yet when she was sleeping and that's what I keep being recommended to do, just worried that I'll clip her finger (which I've unfortunately done almost every time now) and complete ruin her sleep.

    Yeah I read that too, but then you can't even see what you're doing and possibly going to get saliva right in a wound if you bite incorrectly.
