If your child STARTS the 'terrible twos' early, does that mean she will END them early as well?

Mine started them after 3 y/o. and for the most part finished them up in a few months.
They suck, but will pass soon enough. In a few years, you'll want them back.

I will take the troubles of a two year old over a teenage daughter. She is going to be the death of me or someone else.

NEGATIVE!!!!!! There is no formula for calculating this phase in their/your life. It will begin and end on their own schedule.

I have a 3 year old little girl who can be the sweetest kid one minute then the next she's yelling and screaming and just out right defiant...
My son's terrible two's were never this bad...

My girl started them early and I aint sure it ever stopped. She's 10 now. In all honesty my wife and I thought threes were way worse than 2's.

1st started early 3s but didn't last that long. The 2nd child never really went through that stage perhaps because he catches on fast and saw his older brother get throttled several times and didn't want much to do with that so he just didn't really test us.

My son is 16, and overall has been nothing but awesome. We can work things out in less than 30 seconds.
My daughter 13 this month, was born with crazy and hardheadedness. Girls are nothing short of backstabbing little weasels, and down right meanness to each other.
Luckily my wife understands all this and has repeatedly warned me since my daughters birth. I had no idea,, and still am more amazed everyday!
all that said, daughters have a special place in their daddy's heart just for them!
Mine has me wrapped around her finger. Mine has never been a girly girl, more of a independent tom boy, I guess that's from having an older brother.
Enjoy man,, best thing to do is KEEP HER BUSY, playing soccer, softball, something,, and off social media..

Same here. Thought we had somehow managed to skip this stage. The day he turned 3 he turned into a little $#!+. It only lasted a few months but all we did was get onto him constantly. He lost the battle of the wills.

Yep, on my third girl going through the brat teenage years. I'd do terrible twos all over again compared to a teenage girls. They go from these sweet little things with a heart of gold to demon posessed monsters with a smart booty comment for everything and anything you say gets an eye roll. Its starts about 12-13 and they grow out of it at different stages. My oldest was 21, second was 18, and have just started with 3rd. Got number 4 warming up in the bull pen

I'm in touch with the above emotion.. My youngest began the terrible twos right at 2 years old, and she's still havin' 'em..
She's 19 now. Seymore, you must be a saint of some sort. I have no clue how you're still sane with 4 daughters. One is all I could take without completely losing my mind! Since my oldest, the boy child, left for college, I'm all alone trying to hold down the fort without being completely crushed by the estrogen overload around here.
