am I the only one with such a difficult 16 month old?!

ugh...she's always whining...even if we are out. She can walk now (was a late walker) , but even at the park she's whining. I'm playing with her, she's whining and then throws herself.  I'm just frustrated with her. I never really had this with Olivia, so maybe this is the norm? haha

For example, we went to the library today.  Bubbles, toys..you name it.  We never went to this one before and really had a lot of toys. 5 minutes and she threw herself.  SHe even took a long nap before. 

2 kids and I'm done! LOL

Re: am I the only one with such a difficult 16 month old?!

  • A friends daughter just turned 15 months today and she says she's ALWAYS whining. When they're home, out. Doesnt matter..Says she constantly throws temper tantrums..

    I think its the age and they're just starting to learn how to communicate. They're frustrated that they cant get their point across!

    good luck! 

  • I completely understand.  My son is 16 months as well and although he doesn't whine a lot, he does like to scream.  He screams when we put on his coat, he screams when he wants something, he screams ALL the time!  My husband and I were out to dinner with him this weekend and he had one of his screaming tantrums...we were totally "those" people!
  • I'm sorry you are having to deal with this...Gabe was (and still is) a difficult kid. At 16 months old, he had no speech, would scream and hit anything in public. It was quite embarrassing, to say the least. He still acts like a toddler in public but at least he doesn't still hit!!!

    You will forever be my best friend. I can almost feel our hugs. I will ensure everyone will know (now and in the future) what a genuine, kind, loving person you were...I already miss your laughter and our daily conversations. I love you, Samantha. May 20, 1983- February 20, 2012
  • Nope you are not alone.  Evan is 16 months too and he's difficult.  He is a head banger though...as soon as he gets upset the he bangs his head on the floor, wall, furniture you name it!  I was told by the therapists who did his EI eval AND the ped to ignore him.  It's hard.  He always has bruises on his head. Sad

    ETA:  He is also still ridiculously shy and clingy! I can't really take him out because if anyone comes up to him and oohs and ahhs at him he flips out and cries.  He is not thrilled with familiar faces too much either....always prefers me or Ed and is super clingy.  Lately he does this thing where he wants Ed to hold him. then after 20 seconds he wants me...then he wants Ed again and over and over and over!!!

  • That was my Andrew.  He was just always whining and frustrated cause he couldn't communicate.  It got better once he started talking more.  Hang in there.
