Good thread.
Yesterday... was the worst... ever. My 2.5 y/o was terrorizing me. He's usually a pretty good kid, but the past couple of days, he just won't listen to me.
My DH worked two jobs for 10 months (the entire time I was pregnant with #2). He worked from 7am to 1am. So, I did it all on my own. That was pretty hard. But this defiant stage is insane. He's so incredibly active, too.
He got into my kitchen yesterday and put nursing pads in the toaster, turned it on, then tried to use steel tongs to pull them out! That's probably not the worst thing he's ever done. Sometimes I wonder how I've kept him alive this long. I marvel at how calm my second one is in comparison.

Oh my gosh, this is so normal! They all act out in different ways according to their personality, but the defiance is still there. It starts at different ages but it happens and it lasts for awhile, sometimes as long as a year. Sometimes less!
I always say that from 17 months or so until about 3 years, your ENTIRE job is to keep them from killing themselves. Period. It can be very exhausting!
Meanwhile you are expected to remain sunny and kind through it all. If you manage that 75 percent of the time you are doing a fantastic job. :clap_1:
