3-6 mo. teething and biting,
6-1yr into everything,
1-2 yrs learning to pitch an "effective fit"
2yrs- TERRIBLE TWOS
3 yrs WHYWHYWHY?
4-years- the start forming opinions of themselves AND the fat lady at the supermarket.......and so it goes... BUT THE THING I FINALLY FIGURED OUT ON MY OWN.....PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES WISELY.. IF TEN YEARS FROM NOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW ISNT GONNA HAVE A NEGATIVE AFFECT ON YOUR OR THEIR LIVES....LET IT GO. otherwise you have become the noise like that of the teacher on the PEANUTS , when everything you say becomes whawhawhawhawhwahwhawhahw

you should expect to - anyone who lives together for a long period will get into conflict with eachother small or big. The key i think is to as a parent choose which battles are worth fighting. fight the bigger issues harder then the small ones like making a bed and it should go a little smoother. As the children get to the teen ages you need to give them a safe amount of space they really need it. remember no matter what you both love eachother dont let conflicts get in the way and dont let them get too far - good luck

Of course. It's inevitable. Parents are teachers and figures of authority. Young children don't understand the rules and guidelines parents set, and want to do things their own way. Conflict is bound to occur. As children grow older, they question what their parents do and tell them and form their own opinions. Again, conflict will occur. It's a natrual part of life and growing up. Of course, the regular conflicts will ease and be resolved. Ongoing conflict should be examined and tyr to be resolved.

yes, it is how it is handled when the issues arise is important how you handle conflict with them will teach them how to handle conflict later as adults. Try not to take what the kids say personally kids can be mean just like adults can be. Conflict is bound to happen especially between mothers and daughters and fathers and sons. and as they get older get their own personality etc.

absolutely, kids start to grow up and start to develope their own way of thinking that definately doesn't correspond with yours.. They make decisions based on what they want, good parents make decisions based on experience and wisdom. So sooner or later it is bound to happen. But that doesn't mean that it needs to be nasty and argumenative. Its better to talk the differences out and try to understand how your child is thinking that way you are better prepared for the next time around.

Yes, this is how children "earn" their independece from their parents- they have to eke it out of you inch by inch. By the time the child is on his own you've fought with him so much that you're almost as glad to get rid of him as he is glad to get rid of you. :)

Yes. It is totally normal. It's always been that way.
Being a good parent or child isn't easy.
The key word is "good".
