wild children
Does anyone else have a child that tries to tear up everything in the house. My son has been able to turn the closed captioning setting on the TV on, we had a black rectangle on the screen with nothing in it. It took me 15 minutes to figure out what he had done. We have a piece of cardboard over the buttons and he still managed to push them hard enough to do it.
Eating a meal with him is like eating with Gallagher. Am I the only one that has a kid like this? I can not believe I am.

Brace yourself. It will get worse. A LOT worse. Boys are just that way.

Yes, twins. They just turned 2 and are growing out of the destructo phase. Our kitchen/dining/fam room has nothing below 3 ft.
Sounds like a good excuse to by a wall mount flat screen.

Or just put a straightjacket on him. Seriously... grab a couple of John Rosemond books... you'll have this kid straightened out in no time. Start with this one: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Terrible-Twos-Terrific-Rosemond/dp/0836228111/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225384081&sr=1-3 Customer review: Don't Wait 'til the 2nd Birthday!, July 7, 2000 By Justin Payne (Danville, California USA) - See all my reviews As John Rosemond makes clear, the secret to raising a healthy, happy two-year-old starts long before the child's second birthday. Fortunately, we found the common sense and heart-felt humor in his advice to be a sanity check for most of what we'd already thought was right. Anyone with questions will undoubtedly find much to help with the sometimes difficult and always rewarding responsibility of raising a small child. In a book so full of useful information -- offered in a firm but loving tone -- it is difficult to identify the most significant piece. We bought the book for a complete description of Rosemond's potty-training method (try it; it works!), but there's much, much more there. "Making the Terrible Twos Terrific!" contains probably the best perspective ever written on the difficult transition that children go through from infancy to toddler-hood. Remember, Rosemond tells us, when your baby was born, he opened his eyes, looked at the world and thought, "Wow! Look what I did!" It's from this completely egocentric outlook that the toddler begins his transition into a social human being. Given that viewpoint, it is easy for parents to learn how to best manage and nurture this wonderful, magic time. Read the book. Keep it for reference. Enjoy it. Then go and enjoy your little person-to-be.

When my Dad met my current wife the first time, he told her about the time I tore apart his house spekers. I was around 4 at the time and loved watching the Incredible Hulk. Well I was the Hulk and ripped his speakers to pieces.

Thanks for all the information. I blame it all on his mother, she spoils him.

like my brother use to say, " he could tear up a brick" another good one, " he can pick up things the vacuum wouldnt"
i got lucky, nice quiet girl. curb it early if you can. but you both have to have the same goal and work together.

When I was 5 I set the chair my dad was sleeping in on fire. He was not happy.

Every time I hear these stories, I typically exhale a breath of relief that I have a calm, well behaved little girl.
Then, I feel a cold chill up my spine because one day soon she will have a crush on and bring home of these boys . . . Life is grand. Best, |

I have a 15 month old boy and 7 year old girl. The seven year old was really easy going when she was a toddler. The 15 month old is a little bruiser. He likes to climb, knock stuff over, bang on anything that can break....it sure is fun when you are in the mood to wrestle around though! It is funny because the only time that he stops running around and breaking stuff is when he is sleeping or if there are loud colorful cars on TV (drag racing, Nascar, etc.). I can't wait until he can dirt bike!

That's hilarious!I also am feeling thankful we've got a rambunctious but non-destructive little girl in our house! She's 2 and a bit, and full of more energy than either of us can keep up with, but we wouldn't have it any other way. So far destruction has been limited to a couple small holes in the side of the faux-leather ottoman, because for some reason she likes to chew on it! Of course, we have another one coming in a few weeks, so who knows what the future holds...
