    My 2.5 year old is a DICTATOR and it’s hurting our relationship

    @treemoss I had a feeling someone would call me out for being dismissive of comments and I didn’t want to come off that way because I know how that looks. It’s just hard to explain every detail without writing more than a novel that I already wrote. And I grew up with so much trauma, abuse and...

    My 2.5 year old is a DICTATOR and it’s hurting our relationship

    @vera7 I think I really needed to hear that it’s okay to take the space and hold the door shut and that doesn’t mean I’m a bad mother for it. I think I’m starting to realize how high my own expectations are of myself as a mother due to my own childhood trauma and I might really be the reason why...

    My 2.5 year old is a DICTATOR and it’s hurting our relationship

    @grace4nan What do you do if they follow you no matter where you go?

    My 2.5 year old is a DICTATOR and it’s hurting our relationship

    @ai1226 Yes I try to frequently tell him things like “your screaming is making me overwhelmed/frustrated. I’m getting upset. I asked you 3 times. Or “I’m not feeling well, I need a minute to rest. You need to wait please. When I am done, I will hold you. What did mommy just say?” Etc. Do you...

    My 2.5 year old is a DICTATOR and it’s hurting our relationship

    I’m very sorry this is long so thank you if you read all of it. First of all, I try my hardest to hold firm boundaries. Maybe I could be firmer, but my husband and I have noticed the firmer we are the more he pushes back and shows highly unwanted behavior. The problem is becoming so severe to...
