[quote=Anonymous]We have two kids too OP. The older is typical oldest daughter. Always behaved, never tantrums and even around 3-4 was pretty chill. Also very verbal and we explained and she got it. Our lives were also just easier with one and lots of structure. We patted ourselves on the back. Second came and she's an entirely different person. Stubborn, clever, guilt does not work on her. She is amazing but different and also was just not that verbal for a long time. We had to readjust how we parent her. A lot more structure, explaining what we have going on for the week at the beginning, setting schedules, NOT messing with dinner times etc etc. Kids are 5 and 9 and we have made it through to the other side. And now stuff comes up but it's manageable. (Before we descend into tween/teen issues). A lot of it was us, how we parent the kids, what we expect and how we don't always tell them what we expect. It's better now and we are on the same page. Both our kids thrive with a lot of routine so we are not as spontaneous. They have no behavior problems at school because they do hold it in for authority figures. Little one still melts at home but it's contained and she recognizes when she's tired, hungry, just done with people. She will put herself to bed or into her room to take a break from the world.
