Toddler troubles - Real Mum story on MoM

Hi ladies,

I’m a mum in her early-mid twenties with two toddlers…… Both girls… and ten & a half months apart. I know right. Yikes! Their now 2 and 3 years old. They are usually very well behaved little girls too, except for the occasionally tantrum at Coles or Woolies. But lately…. I feel like i’m living in a live boxing match!!! All they do is fight! They use to be so good…what happened ??? They would sit and share toys as they played….would share food and treats…. and would be courtesy and show empathy towards each others. Now, they fight to the point where they end up hurting each other and get so wound up about it that they start to back chat me, ignore me or simply tell me “NO”. I’m really hoping this is a phase. Anyone else experienced this????

Totally know where you are coming from, we have two that do this, we now out them in different parts of the house and say when you are willing to play nicely together then you can come back. Works more often than not

That’s sounds horrible! My girls fight but, not to that extent!

I experience it with my step children. Aged 3 and 6. They are angels one minute, and then at each other’s throats the next. I just send them off to play by themselves and it works most of the time.
