When did they start throwing tantrums and being defiant?

my babygirl is 16 months old today and is a complete monster/mess... i dont know what to do about her and its driving me nuts! It looks like a tornado hit the downstairs and she wont leave her pull ups on. to make it worse.. she likes shrieking and screaming for no reason..

I tried time-out, and redirection. My dad popped her on her thigh a couple times and she just copied him and started laughing..

any advice? please help. 

hahaha, my youngest started throwing tantrums at like 9 months old! She's got a temper on her. My oldest never really threw tantrums but started being defiant around this time until close to 2 

lol When you figure out let the rest of us know....:) 

SO do i just let her run around like a crazy woman with her bare a$$ out... she is currently naked with a tortilla in her hand watching dora..lol

My daughter is 18 months and wont keep hers on either it's driving me crazy! When she starts throwing her fits I just wait it out as long as shes not hurting anyone or running into things and when she's done I make her clean up the mess.

It doesn't work that good on pen 

Blue washable crayon was a mess to get off... magic eraser didnt work... or soap and water... had to repaint.. SMH 

Mine is doing it now and it started a few weeks ago. He is 19 months old now. Little punk! 

My 3 year old has been naked all day. I think she is going to be a nudist. Eh I don't care anymore as long as she wears clothes when we are in public 

Idk if i cant let emy be naked all day.. she is starting to explore her self... lol.. idk if i can deal with that. 

Ash is in the no stage and for 3 days and for 2 days I told her they were going in the trash and put them in a bag and "threw em away" in the garage. So yesterday and today so said no and tod me to put her toys in the trash! Lol 

lol nobody tells you about all this crap when you first become a parent! 

i know.... well my mom *kind of * warned me.. by saying cherish the moments where she just sits and stares,,, and if u blow air in her face she giggles.. because that will be over before you know it lol 

Them exploring themselves is "normal". It's gross knowing they touch themselves. We tell ours no to not do it but again,she doesn't always listen

Hairspray is great at getting off pen, especially out of fabric.

The whole nudist thing is just a phase they go through. My boys, not so much, but my daughter loved it and still does. She also loved "NO!" and "MINE!" at that age so I just put her little rump in timeout. 

My daughter started when she was 2 and she is almost 5 now and still throws them! My 2 yr old isnt too bad yet.

My preacher came by to check on my son and there was my daughter taking off her pants and exploreing I thought I was going to die 

i know the exploration is normal... but soooo awkward... 

Emy tells me no...all day.. boy o boy.. i think im getting it back in 10-fold... i was a pain in the Arse when I was a kid..lol 

Very awkward especially around the hubby. He yells at her all the time. 

my 3 yr just started stomping his feet when he doesn't get what he wants, and then he rolls his eyes too. so I'll flick him in the forhead if he does it and put him in a time out. he doesn't like getting flicked but still does it anyways. 

What a funny thread about toddlers

I'll try the hairspray my daughter loves "NO" makes me so mad even points her finger at me 

Since we are on the subject of toddlers...My daughter has her first crush and its Shane on Up side down show! She flips out when he comes on, yelling his name and says I love my Shane. Its so cute!

no lights a fire in my kid.... she screams it at me..lol

yesterday at target we were walking through the toddler clothes and i stopped to look at something.. and she grabbed a shirt and said " cuuuuuuttteee!!!" and i took it from her and she threw a fit.. screaming and crying until she was choking and arching her back so i just bought tha dammn shirt..lol.. sooo embarassing 

My daughter threw a fit the other day in the store because I wouldn't let her run around I picked her up and she got mad and started yelling Help

reminds me of my 6 yr old. we used to tease him that his girlfriend was my brothers then girlfriend. I asked him if he had a girlfriend the other day and he told me not anymore because Uncle Joe married her so now she's his aunt and can't be his girlfriend.
