Molly has turned three with a vengeance.

[mkesweetie]

But was there a surprise party!?

[papie]

I'm so sorry. It happens to the best of them. In about 2 years, it should get better?

Until then: :drink: :beer: :drink: :beer: :drink: :beer:

I fucking love Louis CK. We've seen him 3 times live

[drrn04]

God, 3 just sucks so bad.

Here's hoping the year goes quickly.

Three has been the hardest. All of my friends warned me about this. They said Terrible 2's is really 3's. This has been my experience. It was weird, it was like the week he turned 3, it all changed. Two was a breeze.

oh, mke, that's for Matilda. and it's coming.

Ahh, ok! Your kids have great names - I hope things w. Molly improve soon. Not really in two years.

2 has been a lot worse than 3 so far, but I think a lot of it was the communication issues. It makes me dread get teenage years. She already has huge mood swings.

[Jermys]

Three was a mindfuck. Four is better. I'm hoping I get my sweet, non-mouthy girl back at five.

OMG. yes.

The sass.

God help me, the sass.

[tigress]

I'm in the midst of terrible threes. She is so much smarter than when she was 2, I think that is the issue. BUT when she is good, she really is a delight.

I'm glad to here that 3 year olds are hard for everyone and not just me.

[EmilieMadison]

Ah, the demon 3 year old. Yes. You know how much I understand the drinking.
Give Molly a big, HUGE birthday hug and kiss from me. I know she'll give you a dirty look for it. Get a picture of that. And then get some video of her shuffling around like AbFab's Eddy. She kills me, that Molly girl!

[daisyheadmaizie]

3 was by far worse than 2. And, 4 seems to either be really, really awesome or so terrible I want to poke my eyes out with a dull, rusty fork. I have high hopes that 5 is the year of no sass. Also, the teenage years scare me after 3 and 4.

[iamgrace]

So 3 would be a good age to start full time preschool? Noted.

[hubes]

Obviously the answer is to break her spirit. You know, the fundie day camps and the tomato staking.

[JamaicanPineapple]

I can't hear you, la la la la la!!

I'm already dreading 3.

[saraandmichael]

dude...i'm sorry. hope the next year goes by with you and your husband relatively unscathed.

[nahoku]

I'm so not looking forward to DD turning 3 in January. She is such a sweet little thing right now and I don't want this phase to end! Hope Molly's 4th bday comes quickly for you

Welcome to the club! I have an internal count down until 4. My son was in fine form this weekend, I could not do one thing right for him. I was kinda grateful to go back to my hotel today.

[eddy]

If it makes you feel better Jack was/is very spirited or as I like to say feral. Three was very embarassing and had me thinking I sucked as a parent.

Now Jack is almost five and it is like night and day. Sure he is still a wild child, but he is polite, and has impulse control, and understands consequences, and is sweet as can be. We finally see a really great kid emerging. And I will always admire his spunk even if it makes parenting hard sometimes.

So Molly will come out on the other side. You got this.

My mom always said Treacherous Threes, not Terrible Twos.

My sister, on her third birthday, walked out of her room and said "Okay, I'm three now, so how 'bout you do what you want, and I'll do what I want." And walked away, lol!

Good luck. I fear this age, lol.

[lemondrop]

Well, now I'm really scared for her to turn 3.

[deanlicker78]

Toledo...I feel your pain. I feel all of your pain. :beer:

[julez]

Ugh, toledo...I'm sorry. We've had weeks (MONTHS) like this at our house, too, and at times I'm convinced that no one is coming out of this alive. Blah. I hope that the demon is exorcised soon.
