of my baby??!?!?!?!
I am going to try to keep this as short as possible. So Miranda and I sat home all day cleaning and doing laundry. Miranda had been a good girl all day and was very helpful! Dana decides to work late so I figured we would go out to eat at a fancy restaurant. We pull up at Waffle House (tee hee I made funnies) and everything was going just great. We go in Waffle House and take our seats and wait for our friends to come. When our friends got there it is like a red light went off in Miranda’s brain or something. Oh My GOSH! She was SOOOOOOOOOOOO naughty. First off she was trying to snatch the Menu from Sonya, she would throw napkins on the floor. She was incredibly loud AFTER I repeatedly told her to use inside voices. She spilt Sonya’s coffee from trying to do something with the menu. He kept kicking Sonya and I after being asked to stop...While she was eating I gave her some Orange Juice (which was in a foam cup) to wash her food down with, I tried to take it and she put her fingers through it and Orange Juice goes ALL OVER HER...on me and on Sonya’s pants!!! OMG! She was just so loud...I popped her hand once but of course that did not faze her. I turned her seat around, I removed her from the table...anything I could think of besides busting her bottom. After the meal was done I went to pay and she kept trying to get on the nasty ass floor...instead of letting our friends join us at home I told them that we were going home alone and Miranda was going to go to bed. I knew once we got home I could not punish her because at her age punishment needs to be done at the time. I know she would not know why I was punishing her if I waited until we got home. So when we arrived I gave her a shower not a bath, so she could not play with her toys. I brushed her teeth for her and did not let her (she likes to brush her own teeth) and then she was put in bed at 7:30 (her bedtime is 9). Now she is asleep and its 8:14. Now I have had my shower and I am relaxed but oh my lord is this the beginning of the terrible twos or what?!?! I go to check on her after she quiets down and she is sleeping like and angel. I asked myself why could my baby look so peaceful and sweet but be so fucking mean at times. Ugh I remember seeing kids throwing tantrums in the store, throwing themselves to the floor...I hold Miranda at the time and just think...my baby won’t do that…Ummm yeah I was stupid. Lord what is to come for me...how am I going to deal with this in public places? OH and for the smart fucks who say “oh u think its tough now just wait u have another one coming” umm thanks for the “witty” observation u tard!! No shit ugh some people. Ahhh ok I feel so much better now…ahh it’s so quiet and peaceful…I can relax!

GIRL!! Ugh I was about to flip the script on her in there...lol...and of course I could not do time out of pop her bottom or anything. I really wanted to just walk away from her..lol
Dont say that quiet word!! She'll wake up and terrorize your house lol I know what you mean though. I've been there done that. When Mike was 2 he got mad at me because I put him on the couch in time out and he laid there kicking his feet yelling thats a bitch thats a bitch!!!! Yea then daddy slapped his ass and put him in his room for a nap lol I hated the terrible twos and wouldnt have them back for the world!!!
Ugh Wounded I really was out of options on what to do with her at waffle house. Like how am I suppose to disipline her in public places or places where there is no time out?
WOW. She sounds like Chaila.
When we have to discipline one of ours in a public place, we do a modified time-out. We sit them kind of away from the "excitement" (Usually in a stroller...strollers work GOOD!) and while the other kids are coloring or whatever--if there's no coloring sheets, we play I-Spy--whoever's in time-out gets to sit and watch. If the trouble maker throws a full-out tantrum, we take them outside and wait for them to calm down. Sitting in the car is no fun when they know everybody else is in the restaurant, probably having a ball.
Hope Miranda gets nicer, LOL (Although you probably have almost a year of what you're getting right now...) And look at it this way. It's not the beginning of the end for your baby...it's the end og f the beginning. *hugggggs*
Well, I think Miranda is just like any other normal two year old child Momma, it DOES get better as they get older. Sometimes it could be because the child is tired, it could just be the terrible twos. I don't know what to tell you about time outs in restaurants, but, one thing that worked for me with my boys...(this was 35 & 31 years ago, so you can't really do this now...)was to smack them on their diaper or bottom (OVER CLOTHES), & MAKE them sit at the table with everyone else having a great time, but they weren't allowed to join in...at least until they apologized for it.
I'm wondering if she KNOWS that you won't or can't punish her in public.
If that's the case, could she be 'playing' you?
Hugs...& good luck. I know the terrible twos are tough, but not as tough as the moms who go through it.

A Boy with Autonomic Dysfunction - The Miller Family
Our Special Life
Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.
