OMG, why is EVERYthing a struggle w/ this child right now?!

Dinner, the bathroom, being nice, bedtime, OMG!  It's a wonder I don't run screaming from this house into traffic.  ::deep breaths:: 

It's the age, right? Almost 4.  My child's not just some mutant brat child, right?  GAH!

  • I find it's so much easier to brush his teeth when he is crying...lol.

    Seriously though, it's the same way for us. Especially when he is overtired.

    As I type the girls are going nuts in their room.  They are usually good at going to bed. For some unknown reason they are just going crazy tonight.  I have been up there about 8 times.  I give up.  As long as they arent hurting each other Im leaving them be.  Well, maybe until 10pm...its 9:40 so in another 20mins I'll go and check back.  

    Good luck...I fully believe its the age!  L was an awesome 2yr old.  Then he turned 3............ He is almost 5 and still not better other than I can talk to him and explain things better and know he is understanding what Im telling him.  That seems to help him...and me.  At that age they dont understand why they cant do what they want to do, when and how they want to do it.  We have so many "no's, don'ts and rules" and they are just trying to be independent.  Not a good combination.  Plus I add that to the "boy" thing list.  I know some people hate that but my girls are almost 4 and no where near acting like L does.  

    Hope he settles down soon.  I feel your pain!    

  • Can I come play in traffic with you?

    So.feel.your.pain.  (and since the boys are only a few days apart, I sincerely hope it's the age, not our crappy parenting - lol).

    ugh.
