Seriously, starting at 18 months withthe tantrums and I feel like his name is no longer Chase, it's "no" or "please stop that", or as my husband says "dude, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"....please tell me it gets better or should i just start drinking NOW.
My husband says that too. 
We are going through the same thing so I will be stalking this tread to see what everyone says.
<--- bubba. I started not letting him hold anything and now he just cries throughout the whole shopping experience. I hate shopping now. 
Mine are 21 and 19, the terrible two's are well behind me now.
OMG checking out is the worst. Heaven forbid you let him pick out a toy and he holds it the whole time during the shopping trip. Then, you get to the register and have to hand it to the cashier for 2 seconds to scan it and
Le sigh.
I need that wine already.
WORD... last night he was trying the "I can hold everything" up in the front part of the cart which wasn't a problem till mommy wanted a bottle of wine, which I thought might be in poor taste so I put it in the back part.... BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER, I sprinted for the checkout isle, got about half my list so I'll have to return again today
Beeotch, at least you can drink. My only escape is Ambien and I rarely take it.
Makes me crazy.
awww sorry...but wait, I have the toddler and currently my MIL living w/ me till she finds a new house...
I WIN !! LOL j/k
but it keeps her entertained..shopping is boring :shrug:
I keep monster busy in the store by naming all of the things aroud me and asking her to point out the stuff I know she knows what it is..I sound like a dumbass..lol "monster, wheres the milk? great! thanks for helping me find it. Where are the bananas? "
that and I only take her when she is napped and fed otherwise it is unbearable.
monster's new thing is to stomp her little feet when she's mad..I just laugh and ignore her and move on she gives up pretty quick. Best trick ever: when she is throwing a fit for some dumb reason I grab one of her books or toys and start playing with it..she immediately shuts up and comes over to investigate..I make her ask nicely for it..and boom. fit over.
In 13 days, I get to drive 8 hours to Tennessee with a 4-year-old and an 18-month old. Spend Thanksgiving and then turn right around and drive the 8 hours again.
Also, my hair is turning grey/white in patches and I am beginning to look ridiculous.
Your move.
OH CRAP, 8 hour car ride
MIL still trumps one holiday, and she calls him "Chasey"
and dotes on my husband like he's 2 years old as well

my kid is kinda strange because if you give her a toy she is interested in at the store she holds it for a few min and then hands it back to you and says "byebye" ..comes from me doing that in the store because I never intended on buying it..so we say bye bye to it and put it down
