... you mean, there really is a way to cope?
Lots of people tell me they think i'm doing so well. Don't know who they've been watching, but that person certainly isn't me, and if it is, she's only barely holding it together - at least everyone's fed and clothed, surely that's enough? What grates me no end is that my brother is suffering his way through a painful cancer, an affliction far worse than mine: so how dare i even start to complain or fall apart? At the end of the day L's cute as they come, has good moments and apparently enjoys being around me.
At least Wolfe proves one point to me (a huge relief): i'm not alone. It might appear to be so, because it's only the two of us here at home (in terms of humans and in terms of eight to five) - and here someone's written a book to help such 'loners' as myself.
It came as a bit of a surprise that it's written from the toddler's point of view, duh, did i just skip the cover of the book and sizzle right into the thick of it (yes!). It seems the bottom line is to keep your sense of humour and play your way out of the sticky situations - and if in doubt, a teaspoon of Stopayne helps!
Scary stuff: Wolfe's written one for three year-olds as well!!! are you saying it doesn't END AT 2???

Not worth the trouble of reading. The author chose to write from the perspective of a two year old -- which I thought might make for entertaining reading -- but it didn't. There wasn't any new information; and the author assumes that most parents spend a lot of time yelling at their toddler. Either I am not included in this group or parents, or I am in denial of being part of this group of parents.

Some of this book is common sense stuff the other part I don't really agree with. (Like the part about getting a new sibling and letting the two year old drink from a bottle and pretend to be a baby again. )

If you have common sense, you can probably skip this book. It's not a bad little book but there isn't a whole lot of insight.

This book will undoubtedly prove useful in helping me and Lou help and guide and talk to Florence when she is "two". Definitely not a book to be was in one go, this is very good for dipping in and out of. The short chapters explain a variety of dilemmas from the point of view of a two-year-old. The repetitive nature of the format means some meaning is lost but the specificity of some of the headings ("Tantrums", "Sharing", etc) allows for useful focuses reading. Very helpful if not particularly insightful.
