What are the positives (if any??) about having a toddler?
My baby is very lovely, but I've become increasingly anxious about the toddler stage which is on the horizon.
People constantly say "wait till the toddler stage, you won't know what hit you!", "they become a tiny terrorist!", "brace yourself for tantrums" and so on.
I'm scared of what it will be like and if i will be up to the job- how do you manage meltdowns, a toddler potentially being violent and everything else I'm warned will come along?
Is there actually anything good or easy (easier than the newborn/baby stage) about this period, or is just gruelling and horrible like I fear?
Or, am I being overly worried and only taking in the negatives I hear and not focusing on the positives? Is it really that bad?
Yours, a nervous parent...
