Little monster


How, people of Reddit... How, do I handle my 2 year old daughter? She has the worst case of the terrible twos I've EVER seen. I mean, I can't turn my back for 30 seconds without her getting into anything, and everything she can. The thing is, getting onto her doesn't work, timeout doesn't work, taking her toys away doesn't work... I'm at my wit's end with her. I'm a fairly patient father. I try not to lose my temper too easily, but this one, oh this one knows just the buttons to push to start the boiler. She knows better, and why I know this is, even after I tell her not to do something, she'll look me directly in the eyes, with this "Idgaf" look, and do exactly the same thing just got on to her for. For example, just last night, me and my ol lady we're sitting on our bed, talking, after a long day of Christmas activities, and I mean literally 45 seconds into our conversation, we hear her screaming and crying. Naturally, I thought her older brother did something to her.... nope! She got into the fridge, gets the Mexican restaurant salsa, and just throws it all over the carpet in the living room. If you're not showing her attention, she will do anything at all to get it, whether good or bad. It's exhausting. Her mother and I are at a loss. We don't know what to do. This little girl just doesn't care. My son was an angel during his 2s compared to her...I love her with all my heart, but idk how much more I can take. I've tried positive reinforcement, timeout, taking toys, even channeling it through artistic activities. Nothing works. HELP! via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2EIC4gt
