the How-much-do-you-really-love-me-? phase

that has just started at 20 months with Sashi. The constant hitting, yelling and tantruming has began and our unconditional love is being tested at every step. The whole unreasonable melodrama makes me so angry and it is hard to control the outbursts of anger so not to crush the spirit of our little devil who, as we all know, will grow up into a great kid and reasonable man. In the meantime, buckle up everybody and grind your teeth in silencio, per favore.


At this age, I was still nursing Nico and that put an significant relief on his emotions and tantrums. Plus we just had so much more energy to deal and his language was a little more clear. While with Sashi, the frustrations are many and language quite not there and no way of knowing how to deal with it. I wonder what kind of neurosis will he be nursing for the rest of his life.
Different from the one Nico will deal with, that is for sure.
