Threenager problems
Okay my 3 year old is going through her threenager phase and it is bloody difficult.
I get it's a phase, and my husband and I are trying our hardest to stay as calm as possible and ride it out (not easy at all to do!)
But now the mom guilt has kicked in again as I feel I'm spending so much of my time having to tell her to stop doing things.
To add to the guilt, while we were dealing with one of her episodes today, she said she didn't want us anymore, and she wants dher grandparents. I know its said out of frustration but she's never said that before and it hurt
Any advice or encouragement would really go a long way
No advice but solidarity. Every time we say no to our daughter or are slightly firm with her she starts crying and saying she wants her nanny... when my husband was at work yesterday and I did the same she cried and said she wanted daddy. It's not personal and they don't mean it. I've absolutely been there as she's said she wants daddy to me lots of times, which has been painful, but recently I've realised (from her saying it about her nanny, too) it's just her way of expressing frustration at us and she definitely wouldn't want to just be with nanny/daddy. It's more like nanny doesn't tell her off I think lol
