I agree, I'd also invest in a water pistol and shoot him with it (don't let him see you do it). Then have some shit to distract him with after the water surprise. Opening a cabinet to pans and spoons for him to bang worked for mine.Get a sparring helmet...snip..
Man o man im guilty af so i know i don't help at all. I'm trying though. Really bad when he wakes up at 2 and starts wailing. He won't chill unless i lay down with him in the lounge chair in his room. 100% on me but i fall for it every time. Tried giving him 30 minutes of crying in bed before i caved just last night. He shut right up. He wins again. SmhDon't fall for his shit.
My mother did that on his first tantrum, with her. She said he hollered for an hour straight, then she sprayed him and he immediately stopped. Told her not to tell my wife but really what do you think of that? I really really considered it yesterday.I agree, I'd also invest in a water pistol and shoot him with it (don't let him see you do it).

I recommended it because it works. It does not hurt them and immediately breaks their thought process, then you divert them. BTW I'm also the mom that during teething rubbed their gums with alcohol and wasn't beneath being generous. It worked for both of us, YMMV.My mother did that on his first tantrum, with her.

ha ha hahaaaaaaaaaa bumpy, wait till they are teenagers and visions of trash compactors dance in your head.The thought seems really fucked up but it's just water, right?
I mean yes it's water but how wrong is it?
@see4 buckle up bro. It gets bumpy
Well I've always thought you to be the wisest of the wise here in tnt, my mother being at the top of the list, (3 hell raising boys) so I'm gonna give it a whirl.I recommended it because it works.

Today one is a state trooper, the other a Ph.D. EE last but not least is a RN. None of them are addicted to any substances, rarely use alcohol, but one did develop a gun fetish (again, never let them see you use it).

Youre right
Oh you’re just getting started lolI doobie leave we've reached the terrible twos, just shy of. absolutely loses his shit if he doesn't get his way. Banging his head on whatever is around. He's had a forehead bruise for weeks now. He get it from momma. Not the bruise, the losing his mind.

Sorry bro can't like that.Fuck yeah we won!!! We really needed that! Go Cowboys!
Thank you, and kids play that tension between parents like a highly trained musician. The thing with the water pistol is it's shocking so it breaks the frustration loop in their brain. But you have to be ready to divert IMMEDIATELY or they re-orient and go right back into frustration loop and the second shot of water doesn't break it. They habituate rapidly.Well I've always thought you to be the wisest of the wise here in tnt, my mother being at the top of the list, (3 hell raising boys) so I'm gonna give it a whirl.
My first thought when my mom did it was he's not a fucking cat but in hindsight she's seen it all so what tf do i know.
Really, much appreciated, because it's made tension that my wife and i have never had after 13 years together. , Annie.
Obviously there's no reasoning with a toddler.
Lucky you had a girl, boys neurological systems are less developed when born and they lag for a long time.The night we brought my daughter home, I put her cot next to the bed...
She slept well till some point in the night she put up a crying spell.
I sternly said from my side of bed, "stop your shit, we are too old for this!"
She piped down and went to sleep. She was a good sleeper after that. and we have not sat up one night with a child in the 6 years we have had her.
