2 year old tantrums

I am so sick and tired of my daughter's tantrums. Can I vent for a minute? Raine is as strong willed and stubborn as both her parents and that really makes her hard to deal with. I am the adult, she is supposed to do as I say and not melt down every time she doesn't like what I tell her. Right? I am reading Parenting with Love and Logic and I really enjoy it. I am trying to implement what they say but she is not cooperating!! Her language skills are developing quite nicely and she tells me exactly what she wants, when she wants it. Today I told her to stop barking orders at me and she said, "Doggie bark, me Raine mama, bop it (stop it)." I was laughing so hard after that one. I think I spent a total of 4 hours with her today and she lost it 5 times. Does she do that for you Deidre? When does this stage end? Reece never did this, his tantrums came when he was three and only lasted a short while. Raine is also very dramatic and sensitive so when I told her blanket was in daddy's truck she lost it. I know she understood it was in there because she asked to call dada and get it. But why did she have to cry the whole way home about it. Get over it we will get the blanket when daddy gets home. AHHHH~ I am having a heck of a week. Two more days until I get to relax and watch some serious football, hopefully my kids will let me enjoy it!
