RE: Okay mamas...what are you concerning yourselves with these days?
(I'll introduce myself quickly - I've just come over from the Baby Bargains board, where I've been reading (and sort of posting) since I found out I was pregnant. My little guy is almost 20 months old and very "willful".)
My two mains worries are:
Meal times! About half the time he eats just fine - whatever, whenever, however. And the other half, he yells, hits the spoon away, flings finger foods on the floor, and is generally impossible.
We've gone to keeping some Earth's Best "Sunny Days" bars in reserve, since 99% of the time he'll eat those. And they may not be the most balanced dinner, but they've got lots of vitamins and minerals, and they keep him from waking up starving at 4am.
And temper tantrums. When he gets mad, he'll yell, "No! Mine! Stop! Don't!" and the top of his lungs. And then sometime's he'll run across the room to bat at your hands. We're not entirely sure how to deal with that.
