Terrible Two Phase

I think it's here already. Everytime I bring her out, I have to deal with her meltdowns. It's tiring and very frustrating. And it always make me feel like a bad parent, cos I really don't know how to deal with it. I've tried cajoling, hoaxing, warning, scolding, shouting and smacking but nothing seems to work.

I wonder when this phase will be over? Please let it be over soon, before I go berserk.

We went to Bob's colleague's place yesterday for a full month party. Whenever the little tot ventured some areas out of bounds and I tried to carry her out, she would bawl so loud as though I had smacked her! Even when I did smack her, she wouldn't cry this loud.

Haiz....
