A mother has revealed she thinks her own daughter is ‘horrible’ as she deals with tantrums and whining.
On social media, the mother complained about her daughter’s behavior and it seemed that all the parents agreed.
“To think two year olds are horrible,” she said in the post.
She added: “That’s all, really. I am being driven to the limit of insanity.”
The mother explained that her daughter may be adorable, but 90% of the time she found her acting like a nightmare.
Like most children, her daughter spent her time whining and screaming, and acting as if everything her mother did was the end of her life.
She added: “When she’s sweet, she’s a sweetheart, but 90% of the time she’s complaining, crying, refusing to put her shoes on, acting like I murdered her when I brush her hair, running away from me, throwing cops of Almighty God.
“The nursery says she is ‘quite emotional’ and has BIG feelings.”
The mother revealed that she was struggling with her behavior and being the best mother she could be.
She continued: ‘How normal is this? I’m trying my best to be a calm but fair mother.
“I give her 5 minutes to calm down when she starts wearing one, I get down on my knees and try to talk to her to explain that we need to wear sunscreen/shoes to get to the fun part.
“She’s just pushing me to my limit and sometimes I get so frustrated I have to leave.”
The mother shared her feelings on the Mumsnet forum, where she soon attracted the attention of other parents.
Many took to the comments, letting her know she wasn’t alone and that kids in general were a total pain.
One person wrote: “Yes, little kids are idiots! They get a little more reasonable around 5/6. hard.”
Another commented: “In my experience, it is normal. Sometimes I feel like I climbed a mountain just to try to get us out of the house.”
