I have a D3, yes, they are a handful because they require constant attention, I know my D3 follows me all the way to the bathroom and stuff, she needs to be glued to my side. Having said that, and not to sound judgemental, now is when you need to shape them and they need to understand boundaries. I had a little boy and we thought he was too cute and too little to understand (when he was 3) so we didnt' correct him enough. They know better, and if he isnt' minding you now there isn't much chance he'll mind you 3yrs from now, I'm not saying be mean and stern, I'm saying, correct him w/love but correct him, dont' let him get away with stuff, he KNOWS better.
I do agree w/the above post, have a night out at least once a week w/no kids, or maybe she can do something during the day that requires her to have a sitter for 2hrs at least.I couldnt' be an stay at home mom, it isnt' in me, I'd go nuts at home. She prob needs some space for herself given the circumstances.
