Niamh has started copying all Oscar's bad behavoir! I've just taken him for time out for throwing his wooden shape sorter box at Niamh, followed by 3 wooden shapes before I got to him and when I came back Niamh is sat throwing them around, and then had a massive paddy when I took them off her, in exactly the same tone as Oscar, I always suspected that she would start with the naughty stuff sooner than Oscar did, but she's not even one yet!

Sorry for the pointless post, I just needed to vent my frustration before I go insane lol xx

ugh! you are not alone, elijah has nobody to copy from (except maybe his daddy haha) and we have the very same - take anything he wants away and there is a serious tantrum straight behind! i hope it blows over for you soon, im not sure i could manage two grumpy bums!

oooh i see this one coming too!!!

lemme know if you find something that works, Edith has one helluva temper already if you take something off her eeeek

Ooh hun - I feel your pain! Hannah is only 9 months but already she is doing this. She has learned to hit from Thomas and they regularly just sit smacking each other one until one end up in tears . If I pick her up she thinks it's brilliant to smack me full in the face and laugh her head off and Thomas thinks it's funny too which encourages her. They are 2 and 9 months and already they are ganging up on me or fighting like cat and dog - god help me!

I do need to add though for the likes of Jo who have all this to come - they do play together brilliantly some of the time too so it's not all bad - honest

xx

You know what upset me most, she was laughing as she threw the bits, I'm sure she knew she shouldn't be doing it, little bugger lol!

I don't think anything will work, don't know what Edith is like, but Niamh thinks Oscar is god and anything he dose she want's to do, which normally ends up in Oscar shouting "No Neeb, Oscar's!" followed by a screaming Niamh

Think the only answer will be in 9 months when he goes to nursery, or September if I get on my course (please let me get on my course lol) xx

Deb's, Oscar hits Niamh but she's not started hitting back (yet!) I'm sure she will eventually, she needs to stand up for herself at some point

They do play nice sometimes like you say, just not as often as I'd imagained they would when we decided to have them so close, ah well things can surely only get better.....

Lol hun - I don't think I ever really expected mine to play nice together because me and my bro have the same age gap as my two and we fought like cat and dog all our life - although weirdly we do get on quite well so anything other than fighting is a bonus in my house.

My two are actually quite funny because although Thomas is the oldest he is such a big softy and very loving but Hannah on the other hand came out feisty and is defo going to be in charge around here. She already is tbh .

It is so stressful at times hun - I really do feel your pain. I can sit here laughing about it now because theyve been to their grandparents for a few days but tomorrow when they come home and all hell breaks loose again - I will be back here crying for support

(((((hugs)))))

I think that is my main problem, I have them 24/7 My parents live in Bulgaria and Si's on the Isle of White, we don't really have anyone who can take them overnight and only a few friends and family who will babysit now and then. After 2 and a bit years it is starting to take it's tole.

And I have an older bro, but he's 2years 5 months older, we also fought, badly at times, we both have scars but I expected Oscar to be too young to really fight, I forgot about the terrible twos though
