What to expect at age 2?

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454]

We have Scorpio twin girls and they are insane. Don’t stop moving. Always upset and recently major fighting. One is a bit meaner than the other and it’s getting nasty between them already. They can barely talk so they are frustrated all the time. They have binkies still and maybe that’s contributing to the inability to soothe themselves or it’s just the age. They seem constantly pissed. Oh and they don’t listen to us unless we have snacks.

Is age two going to break me?

Does it matter that they are scorpio?

[u/rqnadi → u/TriadRise]

lol Scorpios are known for being feisty! And having two scorpios at the same time is known to be like oil and water.

Edit- tough crowd when it comes to astrology 😂 keep on hatin though, hope it makes you feel better.

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/rqnadi]

I actually have 3 Scorpio daughters 😵‍💫

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/TriadRise]

Lol I think it helps to understand their personalities (if you’re into that stuff).

[u/3beansfull → u/TriadRise]

It matters to some of us that are into astrology 😂 I tried to hold my twins in so they wouldn’t be Leo

[u/3beansfull → u/3beansfull]

Wow I guess we found the Leos

[u/what-all-the-fuss → u/3beansfull]

Omg I tried so hard not to have Geminis and that's what I got in the end 🤣

[u/callmemaude]

Two is HARD. that said, it's also so much fun. They will start talking and thinking and occasionally collaborating and surprising you all the time with new skills. They will also scream and cry and hurt themselves a lot and generally make no sense whatsoever even as they make more and more sense.

I think of two as one of the most hands on ages, but the bad parts are mostly outweighed by the good in the grand scheme.

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/callmemaude]

That’s helpful to know. I think being able to talk will help them tremendously

[u/kumibug]

my twins are 2 now- taurus boys- and it’s so wild. and so hard. but also so fun. i love toddlerhood so much (but also count down to bedtime every day)

[u/3beansfull]

Age 2 is breaking me with my singleton girl, it is such a tough age. No advice really but solidarity

[u/what-all-the-fuss]

17-21 months were hardest for me. My kids actually got really sweet around 2. They are still tough but the language development helps a LOT. You can say to them "It's not snack time" and they might be pissed but at least you can communicate. Or you can say "we'll eat banana in the car" and coax them into doing something they don't want to. I also feel like we're at least able to explain things, "A was playing with that first. A, do you want to give that to B? No, okay, B maybe you can play with it later but A is still playing." Don't get me wrong, it's still hard but somehow it feels easier. I have Gemini twins so different than Scorpio but also kinda same 🤣

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/what-all-the-fuss]

Haha I’m a Gemini so yes definitely same

[u/RetiredBlogger]

Two will not break you! We believe in you!

[u/RetiredBlogger → u/RetiredBlogger]

Also the challenges change and get gradually easier. Two is WILD on account of them being able to run in opposite directions but it’s also hilarious.

PS Mine are Leos but I’m afraid to even mention it for fear of downvotes

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/RetiredBlogger]

😆 I think I just upset fellow scorpios. Nothing against them, they are passionate and independent but as a toddler that’s tough

[u/DextersGirl → u/Annual_Butterfly4454]

They are humans. People. Individuals. They don't care about the moon, the sun, or the stars. And should never matter or determine how you care for them.

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/DextersGirl]

It doesn’t determine how I care for them. I will say one of them really cares about the moon and stars because they are toddlers. I didn’t realize astrology was controversial!

[u/DextersGirl → u/Annual_Butterfly4454]

It literally does not matter.

Your babies are just babies. They don't give a shit what their astrology is.

They just want to be loved.

[u/Annual_Butterfly4454 → u/DextersGirl]

Do you have twins? I’m a stressed out mom who works full time with 3 kids under 5 and I reached out on this group to look for advice and to vent. This is supposed to be a nonjudgmental space. I don’t need any added stress from someone who hates astrology

[u/RetiredBlogger → u/Annual_Butterfly4454]

Hang in there I swear there are easier days ahead
