Not even 2 years old I told him to pick up his toys before bathtime. His response: "fuck you, bitch." Calm as could be, like he said it all the time. Mama Roy was livid. But, I tried to stay calm and employed my mom's favorite tactic- guilt.

For some reason age 2 1/2-4 was the worst time for them..testing me almost continuously throughout the day. Some days when they would go to bed I would be in tears because I felt so guilty for yelling and punishing all day. It wasn't the actual acts of doing bad things it was their attitudes and mouths.

She wasn't listening and was being beasty and beligerant and you HAVE to let her know that that behavior is wrong. It may seem like shedoesn't listen and isn't learning, but I really think she is.

Sometimes, with my dog and cat, I have to remind myself that "I AM THE HUMAN." As if that means anything. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry that I don't have any advice. Maybe I'll come to you for some in 3 years or so.Furrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617566957749784387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32044052.post-43381587401080257662007-05-18T10:58:00.000-05:002007-05-18T10:58:00.000-05:00Ok.

He is just as active, mouthy, could care less about being disciplined, and as much as I may hate to admit it walks all over me. It has been driving me nuts.
