Hmm, the three year old stuff sounds just like my two year old (except she’s not potty trained yet….god, I’m dreading that). Is it going to get worse?!

I am laughing…yet again! This list could not be more true to my life right now. We have a little man who is turning 3 in a few days and everything on this list is REALLY happening!

My hubby and I do not put up with that shit. Our little diva has her demon moments, but she is a pretty well-behaved in the grand scheme of things. It helps that hubby is a teacher in a behavioral room and deals with this shit all day, every day. It’s amazing to watch him use his teaching skills to call her out. I’m not saying that my kid is perfect, in fact she is FAR from it. But she is actually a sweet kid. Hubs doesn’t let her walk all over him; I, on the other hand, do. But I’m slowly learning that I’m not doing her any favors by letting her run our lives.

Jamie,

Consider growing pains. When a child is so out of control, try offering to hold them. Then hold them firmly, so they don’t have to be in charge. I wonder if they think no one will ever stop their unwanted and unhappy behavior? Sometimes a little one needs to move his bowels and other times the ‘time out’ means he’s too tired to be in charge any more. Naps are great. Suggested lovingly, most little ones can’t resist. A little understanding and tenderness lets them know how helpless they are to rule the world. You will take charge for now …

You know i just entered the terrible threes and i agree. i just wish i had the wine option. my daughter used to be the sweetest most polite little girl youd ever see. that was untill about a month ago on her birthday. now its pure hell. normally i would just ignore her tantrums but the girl has a set of pipes on her like you wouldnt beleive, and when you get the pregnancy migraines it only makes it work. i cant wait to be out of this stage, if i make it out alive. i could understand if she actually had a reason for the tantrums, but 90 percent of the time she just starts screaming and kicking for no apparent reason. it would be nice if they came with an off switch for their voiceboxes. im soo not looking foreward to the new baby hitting the threes.

Wow. My son has no grandparents for me to push him off on and frequently tells me he wants a new mommy. One day in tears and frustration, I packed his lil Batman backpack and took him to Taco Bell. I told him to choose one…anyone he wanted. Of course he conceded and wanted me….til we got back in the car. he wasnt my friend and didnt like me. He tells me to sleep on the couch and he will sleep in my room and tries to “make” me cook his dinner when he demands it. My son speaks very well and is very smart so I sometimes forget he is a child. I have picked up quite a few bad words and a very short fuse in the last 6 months…God help me! Thanks ladies.
