Thread: Acting up?

What did I miss, why are you laid up if you don't mind me asking.. As for Connor has his routine been thrown off? Kids are creatures of habit, or he could just be hitting his terrible twos waaaay early?? Either way I hope he settles back down soon.

Noah was doing the same thing a few weeks ago and finally stopped.... Nothing I did worked except for sitting him down and telling him biting isn't nice but Id say it a little serious and he'd get the pouty face and hug me... He stopped ... His new thing is throwing everything... And if he throws it he loses it ( a ball is diff but a block being thrown at someone's face is what I'm talking about) .. Noahs def into his terrible twos early

I wonder if he is acting up because of the discomfort and pain from the diaper rash? I know that if I am in pain or discomfort I can get pretty snarky with people. I hope that both of you guys start to feel better soon!

Sorry, I didn't really post it here- I fractured my ankle, so I have to stay off it and see an orthopedic surgeon wed to see what to do from here. :/ it has been kinda crazy, we were in chicago, last night there i got hurt- we came home, he hasn't been sleeping w/ me cuz I've been on pain pills, plus daddy is home every day w/ him since I cant do anything with him- I wondered if that was the prob, he's not sleeping with me, im not in the floor/outside/etc playing with him like usual. But please oh please no terrible 2s, he's only 11.5 months, I can't do this for 2 more years...lol

Aww..the pouty face gets ya every time. My concern is with Connor being so young, he doesn't 100% understand. He knows no, he knows be nice and be gentle, but I don't think he gets why im so upset?

I wondered that, but he has only been like this with me. Not phil or phils mom, just me?

I would say that it's because you arent able to do as much with him an he doesn't understand... I would just keep telling him no and not nice and he'll eventually get it. I know it's hard...but just keep up with it.

Oh honey, i'm sure it's a reaction to you being laid up. Tom's 4 and we've just been through the same thing with him whilst I was in hospital. He acted WAY out of character, angry, aggressive, fighting with his daddy and misbehaving/disobeying constantly. He is Mr Chill usually, so it was really strange behaviour. He was like it the whole time I was in hospital and the first day I was home. But now he's back to his normal self. He's probably cross that mummy isn't there in the same way, able to do the same things and is almost 'blaming you'. Tom was like this, but it was his daddy he blamed for me not being there... all his anger was directed at daddy.

He was so confused at the new situation he found himself in and didn't know how to express his feelings, or ask the questions that were in his little head so it all came out as frustration. I'm sure it's the same with Connor. Plus, don't forget, he's just a baby and babies are constantly learning their boundaries, testing, pushing is the only they can learn right from wrong. Every baby goes through this stage and most will hit, bite, kick, punch and test you to your limits as they are learning what they can and can't get away with. Stay strong, remain constant and talk to him. He will be fine. P.S. - hope your ankle gets better soon! x
