[quote=Anonymous] Add music to your evenings. It will condition them to wind down for bed...over time. Do everything everyone else suggested and know that this is hell, but temporary. Get your 2yo to participate in some way and build upon that. At age 5, DS was taking a shower by himself, while I dealt with his younger sister. They are only a little older now, but have tasks associated with when they come home and helping to prepare dinner. Music plays. I get to learn more about their day. Good manners and communication skills are affirmed. And, most importantly, I no longer feel like I friggin work for them. They aren't passive recipients of my labor anymore. We interact and cooperate. It feels great, like the family life I'd imagined. This is a sucky time, OP. We all know it. This too shall pass. You got this! [/quote]
