Distraction and more distraction.

Try this

Do you have 10 of those I could borrow?

Just ask for the "loooong sleeve turtleneck that buckles down the back" model. ;)

My son is fast approaching 3..he'll be 34 mos on Sept 19. Lately, his daddy just started a 2nd job where he's working nights. HOLY HELL has that been an adventure. I have become a married single working mother. Now isn't that a mouthful. I get home from work, then about 45 mins later, hubby comes home, is home for about 45 mins and then goes off to his 2nd job. I'm left to deal with the tears and the "Daddy left me.." 's and the "I want my Daddy!!!" Then he begins the tantrums and the throwing things and blatant refusal to do ANYTHING asked of him or told of him. "Choices" have had no effect. Extra loves from Mommy have had no effect. Time out...nope, no dice. Around 8pm, we go and take hubby his dinner and so far, that seems to be ok.....Now. When mine was 9 mos old, Daddy working nights wasn't as big a deal...he adjusted easily. Now it's HELL!!!!

shadow dancer, try getting a largish pic of hubby that the litte guy can carry around, or a favorite hat he can wear.

Just cherish every frustrating minute. They grow up so fast. (My daughters are 20 & 25) One bit of advice that worked for me..... When they are at thier worst and you're about to scream, pick her up and hug her and tell her you love her. At 2 yrs old it didn't always calm her but it did me. And if you do that when they're teenagers, just before you ground them for life...it makes 'em feel so guilty. hehehe... who said parents had to play fair.

My best wishes to all of you with young ones. You... and child.... will get through this. Take lots of pictures, make lots of memories and love the little darlin's when they're the least loveable.
