What happen to my sweet twins

[mguitterrez]

I have 22 month old twins that have been so good up until now. We use toi go out the three of us all the time but now it seems like they are ganging up on me. It is stressing me out. We have very little help from family and my husband works all the time. I need to be able to go to the store. ANy advice on how to get them to behave in public???

:grouphug: I just wanted to say I feel your pain. My little guys are 27m's and while I can finally take them from the car to the Ymca without the stroller I cannot take them to the mall or just about anywhere else without the stroller. They jsut don't listen. They look at me like I'm from mars when I tell them no and then do it anyways. And while I'm wrangling one the other is off doing something in a nother part of the house, whether is climbing across the center island in the kitchen or on the back of the couch and messing with the blinds they are all over the map. They have zero sense of no. Not that we don't tell them no. They should feel that its part of their names since we say it so often. Its chaos around here and while I do go out because I have to even thats hit or miss. some days they are great others they throw and grab and scream. I would love to have some advice for you but I really just wanted you to know you are not alone.

My boys will be two at the end of the month. I was just telling my husband yesterday that I may need to go back to work FT. I'm not sure that I can handle them all of the time anymore. They don't listen to me at all - and I swear that they gang up on me! Running in separate directions, they never want to do the same thing at the same time - plus all of the fighting!! Often, if I tell one not to do something, his brother will laugh. I don't stand a chance - they clearly think that it is more important that your brother thinks you're funny than to have your mother upset.

Maybe it is only because I am right in the middle of it now, but I think that this stage might be more difficult than their newborn phase! I didn't think that I would ever experience anything harder than that!

Mine have turned rotten lately too... I'm hoping it's "just a phase" but I'm mainly hope that I can make it through!!!

No advice... just thought I'd commiserate with you!

I am so glad I am not alone. Here I thought I was the worst mom that i could not control my twins! Thanks

My boys are 18 months old and I can see that they are starting this phase that you are speaking about. The only good thing that I can see is that I do work full time and Daddy is the one that will have to put up with it! Yay for me!!
