Thank God I found this article – people think I am crazy because I said it is like my daughter cycles with me; she gets real whiny and clingy, and snotty 2 days before I am supposed to start. My son (19 months older than her) has never done that (some days he is wonderful some days he is possessed by demons, but it never coincides with my cycle) I fully believe that she and I will be on the same cycle for the rest of our lives – my poor hubby

I'm so glad to see this articla b/c for a few months now I've noticed my 2 yr old getting extremely whiney about a week or so before my menstrual starts and I wondered was it a coincidence, but like clockwork it happens every month and it gets to where there is no calming her down at all. I also thought about how women living together start having same cycles so I just convinced myself that is what it is b/c its no other time, plus she only really wants me and she wants to be treated like a baby…Geeesh!

@Betty, Like I said, I have no *actual* proof. Just our own experience with it. But, think about it…they say that women who often are around each other get on the same cycle. Hormones are in the air. So it kinda makes sense that a girl might pick up on them.

I just read these stories about toddler PMS…I kinda thought that might be what was going on with My 3 year old! So is it really true? I’ve noticed – especially the last two months – that when it’s my time she gets all cranky and whiny! Oh boy! Look out teen years!!!

@Catherine, Wouldn’t *that* be something? It’s funny to see my hormones affect her. Well funny in an annoying way.

I had absolutely no idea. Whatsoever. Your husband is a saint. Maybe they should develop some kind of baby Midol?

Nancy, I actually give her 1 warning and then put her in time out if she still defies. Thanks for sharing the differences between boys & girls in your house.

Boys are no better..in fact my daughter is the best ever. She’s 5 now and only once has she tried to TRY me..but I had to explain to her that her attitude was not a good choice and that I will take her favorite toy away if she keeps it up, so I had to follow through with my threat and take her toy away for a period of time because of her disrespect. She has not thrown a fit since and that was a few years ago. My son on the other hand is a DRAMA KING…before I even threaten with a punishment ..he’s already crying..and trying to give me hugs and kisses so he doesn’t get in any more trouble..but of course that doesn’t work. You ALWAYS have to follow through with what you say…if you threaten to put your child in time out, give her 2 warnings…on the 3rd no more words…straight to time out. That has worked wonders for me, especially when Daddy’s not there, they think that can get away with more…but us Mommies need to stay strong…They need to learn respect and obey in the home at a young age and their school teaches that as well which helps out greatly!!!

Mother: I don’t think I could put up with all that from my kid. Maybe you’re right…
