Life is Rough

Life is rough when you are 2.  There are so many injustices, so many demands, so many concessions you have to make.  You are forced to stop playing in order to do horrible things like eat meals, use the bathroom, get dressed, transport your sisters places, take baths, and take naps.  Sometimes your parents refuse to play with you just so they can do unnecessary things like make meals, take showers, use the bathroom, do laundry, and attend to the needs of someone else.  Your parents don't care enough to attend to your every demand at the exact moment you make it.  They are always putting incredibly high expectations on you like "use your manners," "stop biting your sister", "don't drink the bath water", and "don't keep doing what I just told you not to do." And then when you decide to take a stand against these injustices with very rational behaviors like yelling "no", running away, screaming, writhing, throwing things, hitting, kicking, and throwing yourself on the ground, your parents act as if there is actually another way to respond in situations like these.

Obviously they don't understand how tough it is to be a kid.
