Eek!

Ok, who labeled the terrible twos? Did they forget about 3?

Eek! I don't know whether I wanna cry and pull out my hair or just lock myself in the bathroom until her next birthday. lol Wow, who knew that my sweet little pumpkin would turn into a raging ball of craziness? Oy. *huffs and puffs*

There's gotta be some more mom and dad's out there who are ready to commit themselves to the looney bin. lol Help! I need a hug! (or maybe a straight jacket?) lol

Yep, they never mention the terrible 3's do they. In my experience 3 is more of a challenge than 2.

Stick with it. Be THE MOM. Once they learn how to communicate with words more efficiently that helps a lot. Don't let them see you frustrated--they seem to feed off of that and have lots of fun with you .

Didn't they mention about the terrible 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s 9s 10s 11s 12s blending into the teenage angst? LOL!!!! Our middle daughter seemed to fit into that category. By 21 she became the wonderful person she is today, it does get better!

Didn't they mention about the terrible 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s 9s 10s 11s 12s blending into the teenage angst?

Yes! So true! lol! You are in for years of fun dear Jenna!

*laugh* And my husband asked if I were open to having possibly two more children. You should have seen the look on my face. Heeheehee...... At the rate I'm going, it sounds like mental suicide to have enough children to gang up on us.

The temper tantrums are what really get to me. Boy, I had no idea that my little sweetie could be such a pain in the butt. I knew that as an infant, she had a decent temper. However, she's real bad with her father, the poor guy. She's done things like gotten mad at him for making her finish her dinner, and then gone and wet all over her roomie's bed in retaliation. She's toilet trained, so it wasn't an accident. She's done the same thing to me when throwing a fit in a restraunt. Oh goodness, that was embarassing. She's a good kid for the most part. It's just that when she gets a hair the wrong way, she can be a real hellion. Oy!

 

[jenptcfan]

Oh my goodness, Jenna. What did you do when she went and wet the bed because she was mad? Wow...lol. I'm enjoying not having children all of a sudden.

We are so glad our 3 yr old is turning 4! At 2 he was great, but his verbal skills are so advanced that we often forget he is not as mature as his 6 and 9 yr old sibs. Poor guy. He can be very tempermantal, but he also shows vast amounts of love. 3 is definately a tough year because of all the changes. Ok, they can all be tough years! I know I'll even miss 3 when it's all gone and grown away...

 

[TCapp]

Wow, I didn't know our kids were twins! She's 4 now, but still seems 3 to us. Every day is a battle.

I feel for you, sista!
