Where did my sweet boy go?
In his place I have a grump whose favorite word is "No." Nothing pleases him. This week has been rough. Crying at drop off for day care. Screaming when Dada leaves the house. He's Dada's boy and wants nothing do to with Momma. Fussing all day here at my office. (Not fussing because he wants me....fussing because he wants my administrative assistant and my business manager to play with him.)
That grumpy child can leave now. I'd like my happy sweet friendly child back.
Re: Where did my sweet boy go?
Welcome to the 2's..... a few months early!!
I often heard if they didn't have the terrible 2's the 3's are worse. Um, not so sure about that.
Hang in there.
oh 3 is soooo much worse!!! Every person I know hates 3!
i think I've seen this posted on here before and it seems to be true for us. We go through like half a year of great behavior and half a year of not so great. Always makes me sad when the nice behavior changes!
I actually like the age of 2 but I do believe the few months leading up to 2 were bad and worse than 2 itself.
I agree with this. It seems like this is the age Brinley decided to become very insistant upon her wants and desires. And even though she was already very verbal, and could communicate what she wanted from us, didn't mean that she handled it well when we said no. :-)
I hope this is a short phase for you! Because once you get past it (and ours was very short) 2 is an awesome age.
I agree with all of this. I currently have a 3 year old and a 2 year old. Two is a little rough patch but with 3 the craziness just drags on. 2 is fun. 2 year olds say the darnest thing!
I'm in the "stab me in the eye - rip out my toenails - anything but age 3" stage. I wish I could skip to 4. blah
I didn't tell you that I saw S corner a kid in d/c last week. I said a silent prayer for you.
Hang in there Mom - you can survive this! You have the patience of a saint!
My three sons!
Our son is 20 months and we are at the "this just sucks" stage too. Exerting his independence, yet he can't do everything, so he is in a state of frustration 95% of the time.
And he is a Mama's boy, so I usually feel the brunt of it. Plus, he isn't big on using words - he just points and such, so many times we have no idea what the heck he wants. Then he gets upset all over again.
Oh, and as bad as this stage is, 3 is worse. I know that seems impossible, but they find a way to somehow get worse like it is their life-given duty. Good luck!!
