‘I your friend now’ – how adorable. How could any mother resist a smile at that?

My 2-y-o daughter going through similar phase – testing times at OH HQ… ‘Pick your battles’ is my mantra too. Sounds like you are coping admirably. You are not alone – we all have hideous moments like this, hang in there!

It will pass! She is the best teenager now but was my stroppiest baby out of the three of them.

My sister a mum to a 14 and 8 year old always told me she chooses her battles hence why her 14 year old dyed his hair blonde and wore an earing for the summer. I never knew though that I had to start using this advice from when he was SO young! go figure. As for a toddler not wanting to leave nursery? Been there too and I was trying not to cry while he cried!

The only way it’s my fault is that she has my genes and I used to be partial to the odd tantrum now and again, apparently. Of course I NEVER have them these days. *cough*
