Would it be wrong of me to say my 4 year old needs a hypothetical throat punch? My patience level for the arguing is at zero. We were late for school this morning because he needed to pitch a fit over our morning routine. Last night it got so bad over snacks that I just left the house and went for a drive. Dh does nothing to help either which makes it so much better. I’m so over it.
@kbrown2385 I cane to inquire about nominating my 2 year old so I think it’s fair game 😂 He can’t argue but he’s been pitching fits over everything as well and I’m just so over it
@MrsJessS at this point idk how he’s going to make it to 5. I know it’s just going to get worse when the babies get here. I’m so looking forward to that 🙄
@kbrown2385,I know life got easier for everyone once DS1 started school. Did he just turn 4? Will you be able to enroll him in PreK next year? Or will it be kinder?
@kbrown2385, ahhhhh yeah some of the districts here are still only half day. 4 is the last of the toddler years, too, so hopefully he'll start calming down soon.
@kbrown2385 yeah it’s going to take a miracle for DS to make it to 3 at this point. And he’s a September baby so he’s late to start school too.
Annnnd I’m adding DH’s family to the throat punch list. I posted something about struggling with DS yesterday. DH’s grandma comments on there to “hold him close he misses his dad and will only be little for a little while” I am so tempted to comment back that oh I thought I was supposed to be locking him outside unattended. Knew I was doing something wrong 🙄 Also he hasn’t seen his dad in 2+ months, that’s not why he’s acting out at the moment
@MrsJessS I f’ing hate when family does that ish. Like you don’t know that already 🤬.
Today just keeps getting better and better. He’s finally in quiet time for the next two hours. If there was any question before if he was on the list or not, he’s officially solidified his spot after hitting me 3 times at the grocery store. I think him acting like that is causing me to have BH. Can that be a thing?
@kbrown2385 I actually think that is a thing. We were having a really rough time the other day and it totally happened. DD was being very physical too so maybe that was part of it. I was able to ask my so to take dd out of the room and just give me some space so my body could calm down.
I'm in the same boat, DD is usually good but she goes to school with her cousin (who is super intense/ action / emotional etc) and we do pick ups and drop offs together and she get's so worked up around him that the attitude stay's even when they are a part.
A tongue in cheek TPT request. One of our Gov't bosses hasn't canceled our 1300 meeting, even though we have a HUGE hardware migration this weekend, and I was so hoping he would so I can take an hour of leave and go home at 1300 instead of 1400.
Hats off to you ladies! Pregnancy is hard enough. I can't imagine also having to wrangle a feisty toddler. Here's to hoping you can all pass the kid off to your SO to get a little break! Or do as @MrsJessS apparently does and lock them outside for a bit 😅 seriously, comments like that are so unnecessary. Of course they're only little for so long. Doesn't mean they don't deserve a good throat punch now and again.
