Anyone want a threenager????

[Liz]

LOL no thanks.. already have one.. and he's not 3 until March! LOL.

Oh we have these battles every day at the moment, and unfortunately with me being tired and sick the last couple of days, he is pushing my buttons badly. But yeah, you only have to look at him or what he's doing, "don't look at me" "don't look at it" "go mummy".

I feel a bit bad, with the "go away mummy", lately I've been saying" ok I'll go". I pick up my bag & keys, pick up Kayla and go out the front door. He FLIPS. i let him freak for a bit then go back in and ask him if he really wanted mummy to go. No, he didn't. So I asked him not to tell me to go away anymore. He still says it (habit I think.. just something he says when he's upset about something) and I ask him now, do you really want me to go? Shuts him up LOL. Trying to get him to realise what he's actually saying to people.

*sigh*.

Anyway.. i know exactly what you mean about the battle of wills. Sometimes I have to stop the vicious cycle or we'd fight all day. So I try and put him in a position where he'll do something good and I can praise him for a change! LOL.

It's a tough gig this toddler parenting! Love the "threenager" tho.. gonna steal that one

no thanks, but you get my sympathy - Darcy lost it last night because she wanted to go to work with her father.....
and I'm rarely her friend anymore...but hey in my line of work you get used to that lol.

I have one of them also. He really pushes my buttons, i can't believe he acts like a 15 year old with PMS. If anyone find out how to deal with them, please let me know.

Mine likes to say "don't believe it", and "go away" to people...

I'm currently hiding in the study from mine i can't believe i'm hiding from my child.
