Anyone have experience with this? My 2 year old daughter is going through the terrible 2's. On top of that, she wants to do everything her 4 year old brother does.
What do I do???
Honestly, I don't have any tips for you, but I do have empathy. My 2.5-year-old insists she's 3, and absolutely refuses to acknowledge that she's two. For now, we just do our best to let her try "big kid" things, and we're there with a hug if she stumbles.
Oh, and every single other mom of a two year old I know is dealing with the "terrible twos," too. You're far from alone, even if that provides only cold comfort.
When we took my son in for his 3-year-old checkup, his pediatrician warned me that he thought 3s are worse than 2s. My jawed dropped. I wanted to shout: "Have you been to my house? Can it get any worse?" Sad thing is though, he was probably right. My son is mellowing out a bit at 4, but I frequently have to remind myself he's still only four.

Close your eyes and wish for a time machine?

From my experience, I think three is actually worse than two. Just so you're prepared ...
