3 year old for sale!

[bluelikejazz]

OMG, DD has lost it. She yelled at her brother (1yo) the whole way home from the grocery store, then threw her purse at him in the car. I told her she was going to time out when we got home, and she did. When we talked about what happened, she refused to listen or acknowledge me at all.

DH took over and she’s been screaming for an hour.

Screw wine, send gin.

So true! OP, I feel your pain! My nearly 3.5 year old had the most epic meltdown this week and could not calm himself down. It was awful. After 15 minutes of hysterical screaming I FaceTimed my husband to see if it would distract him into breathing normally. It did the trick. The amount of vitriol coming from my kid was unnerving! It left me shaky.

Sorry. I remember thinking I seriously broke all of my kids a few months after they turned 3. They were so awful, I figured I had done some things terribly terribly wrong. Nope 3 year olds are just hard to deal with. It does eventually get better. Now that my oldest is almost 12 I barely remember having to carry her kicking and screaming from a restaurant while I juggled a newborn in an infant seat, or the time I had to drag her out of the baby pool again while juggling a newborn, or the time she climbed in her dresser and fed the fish 3 cand of fish food and hen did it again with only 1 can the following week. Nope definitely don’t remember those things at all. . She’s pretty sweet most of the time now so I guess I didn’t break her, but I’m sure I will think I have again when she turns 13.

Joining in commiseration. DS was a nightmare yesterday, everything was NO! And he hit me twice. Three time outs and once where I screamed way too loud.

Then I found out he threw meatloaf when he was with his dad and aunt. He told me, Xh didn't. I told him that was wrong even though I was chuckling inside

[cheeseandcrackers]

the only reason i'm keeping my around these days is because she decided to start using the potty

Yes, I’ve got two for sale!!

I threw out my back this week due to picking them up as while they were kicking and screaming. They both manage to throw epic tantrum when we are trying to get ready and get out the door. This week it was DD wanting to pick her own clothes but after looking through them all wouldn’t pick anything. Then DS kept throwing tantrums when he wanted to ride in daddy’s new car to daycare but I do drop offs 🤦‍♀️

DS1 just turned three and I swear it’s like a switch flipped. He does.not.listen. He’s been driving me crazy this week with it. So many time outs. So many tears. Like, dude, I’m not asking anything of you that I haven’t asked before. What the hell is your problem??

So, basically, I feel you.
