I wrote the post I’ve resurrected below one year ago.
It’s a charming little trifle about my son’s increasingly bad behavior. Little did I know that what I thought, last May, was the onset of the terrible twos – though I even admit in the post that I might be a tad premature in that assessment – was nothing but a tiny preview of the hell to come, and of the abuse Mom and Buried and I were yet to face.
Now, a year later and a good three months into the real terrible deal, this post would probably make me laugh if I weren’t usually already crying.
I thought things were bad when I wrote this week’s Zombie Post, and today things are infinitely worse. And there’s no end in sight. Parenting FTW!

Terrible Twos are terrible, but having gone through this three times (I am currently in the midst of my third) I thought you should know that it’s called terrible twos because it lasts two years. Unfortunately, it’s not just when they’re two.
My advice: Try to laugh…a lot! He’ll be so much fun by the time he’s four. 🙂
I feel your pain, I think the terrible 2’s started at 14 months with my oldest!
