GIRL YEAAAAAASSS. A switch has flipped. I thought two was a struggle. And now wowza🥲🥲🥲🥲😳😳😳😳

Yessss I feel like I’m going crazy!

Idk if you do screen time but I’ve found cutting out screen time to be so helpful. he gets bored so then he plays and wants to help me. But trust me, I still think hes a terrorist lmao i’ve been trying to find new activities for him to do and also cut out all sugar. I didn’t realize how badly sugar was affecting my son until I cut it out

My girl got sassy quick. Definitely testing my patience.

@Mikaela 😂😂😭😭 no but literally WOWZA is the perfect description bc wtfff is this that we’re dealing w/ 😂 somebody send help for us lol!!!! My baby is going to be at his grandparents until Friday they want to keep all the grandkids while they’re on spring break and since my son is in daycare he gets to go too and I’m so going to miss him and I know I’m be calling and getting on their nerves the whole time but I’m like baby thank God for them this week girl I am beat down maybe I can strategize while he’s gone 😂

@Ashley I second that lol

@Brooklynn I’m glad you found some helpful things !! I try to keep it light on the sugar welll… lately he’s eaten pbj pretty often shame on me ! Bc he hasn’t been wanting to eat what I’m cooking, but within the past couple of days I’ve told him no to that and he ends up eating my food after protesting it for a while and ends up liking it 😂 and he does get about an hour of screen time but not always daily I try to do different activities w/ him after he gets out of daycare but some days it’s the tv ! and let him come in and help me w/ diff things too so idk I need to sit and brainstorm !

@ACS They are testing us !!! And oooh I’m hoping for another boy I don’t know if I’m equipped for the sass!! 😂 little girls can get ROOTHLESS w/ the words lol I’m having elementary flashbacks 😂😂

Omg I’m not kidding THE DAYYY she turned 3 it was over for me😩 I try all the advice and tips and nothing helps so I just pray and hope better days are coming cus honestly I’m a little scared 😂😩

I could’ve wrote this myself! My mom said idk why they call it terrible twos, it’s the threes that get ya! Feeeeeeling this to my core! Praying it’s a phase. Testing boundaries and patience like it’s her jobbbbbb. I know they are getting more curious too with age so I know that plays a huge factor I think too with just understanding the world more and what they can get away with before mom gets upset. Just know you are not alone and we are out here wondering how long it’s going to last and if it get better. Buuuuuuut. Don’t get me wrong, she still has angel days and more good than bad during the days but when the “threes” are on it’s a whole different kid I swear 😭

My kid bolted in target yesterday. My damn VELCRO took off. She has never done that. What is happening to these 3yr olds??

Idk but they say the trouble 2 are bad Id say the 3s are crazy wilddddd I can’t

I tell god to give me patients everyday cus boyyyyyy🤣

Same. I’m here for the advice 😅 I have none to give. & mine gives the “ no” so casually 🤦🏾‍♀️
