Yeah, Josh, I would agree with Zig on that one…if you are saying this to your kids. I consider this more “adult” conversation. I believe taking the positive approach to the whole parenting thing, by having a plan, staying positive, enduring the difficult days, etc., is a good way to parent. As I’ve said many times, when the children get older the bad times are harder to remember. You are going to be a great dad.

zig ziglar says when we call them "terrible twos" we are basically giving them instructions on how to act. he suggests calling them "terrific twos" instead. when i suggested this to my sister she looked pretty angry at me. oh well, at least we have this phase to look forward to with luke.

Just had this discussion with a friend of mine. Two's are easy. 3 is the year they get creative and yup, can be terrible. .-= Barry´s last blog ..E-mail, Etiquette, and Friends =-.

With Kassidy it was definitely terrible 3s! She woke up on her 3rd birthday a different child! I asked God to give me my sweet little girl back! She was fabulous at 2… go figure! We suffered through it though and she went back to being fabulous… of course now she’s getting close to being a terrible pre-teen! haha (Can that be your next series?!)

Kameron… had a lot of autistic tendencies when he was little so he didn’t have “normal” terrible 2 behavior, but from about 18 months to age 4 was REALLY hard with him. He’s awesome now.

Kennedy of course is on her own schedule and own time line. She has moments of defiance, even now at 5 that I think, “Kassidy did that at 3!” But we’re also still recovering from her being treated with extra TLC from all her surgeries and maybe getting a little spoiled with that.

Keeghan is TWO. ALL TWO. Frank calls him Jekyll and Hyde! LOL One minute he’s sweet and cute and snuggling up to you, and the next… well… yes, I’m pretty sure “Terrible Two’s” was made just for him! HA! Thanks for this post! It was a good reminder that I’m not alone!
