I have no suggestions because almost word for word, I could have written your post. Just today, one of my 22 month olds refused to put on his mittens when we went outside. He started crying after about 5 minutes because he got snow on his hands, and I just couldn't deal with the crying. He got put inside in the highchair with the tv on (the kitchen is where the door is, so I could see him at all times). He calmed down after about 5 minutes, and relented to putting on his mittens.
I feel I'm burning out two, after not even 1.5 years doing this, which makes me feel like such a failure. A long winded way to say that you're not alone. I hope you can take comfort in my suffering along with you!!
