are all 3year olds terrible?

Question

i really don't like my own toddler sometimes. SOMETIMES. i just feel like I'm doing something wrong, it's just getting harder. i try everything, no sugar, almond milk, naps, regular schedules. time outs, rewards, popping his butt if it's serious.  i just get frustrated i guess. i love him always, just sometimes he really gets on my nerves.....

Answer

All kids are different. Some are perfect angels. Some are little shits that test every nerve you didn't know you had. You're human. Your child is human. There's gonna be points where you two don't get along for whatever reason, and it irritates the hell out of you. It happens. It's normal, no matter what anyone else here may tell you. As long as you're not acting out on your frustrations, you're fine.

Answer

My three year olds are angels! 1 1/2 year old ....omg terrible lol

Answer

It happens some people will blame you for his behavior but in all seriousness, many 3 year olds are terrible (terrible 2's) sometimes runs into the third year. Maybe it's because he can see your weak points. Throw tantrums and he probably thinks by throwing a tantrum he'll get what he wants most likely (not saying you do) because you give into his tantrums. I don't know how you should deal with him because every case is different. I'll just give you sparkly pixie dust to help you! I wish you strength and I know you can make it through. I know I was a bad 3 year old myself.

Answer

I've always though that 3 was worse than 2. 4 isn't any treat either!!!

Answer

I agree with Shannon. Sometimes you're not going to get along. And yes, that can start early. And it's okay for you to be frustrated. And it's okay sometimes for you not to like your own child. It happens from time to time. Just be patient. This too shall pass. You'll get through it and so will he.

Answer

I think it's majority of 3 year olds. I have a friend who has a 3 year old an he can be a night mare at times an other times he's an angel. You just gotta keep putting your foot down an show him who's boss. Hopefully he will grow out of this stage soon(:

Answer

I had terrible 2 through 4s  lol I know  where u are coming from i use to feel like to. There was days where he was off his rocker crazy jumping off of furniture  and climbing on counters...... those were the days I wanted to hid in the closet. But I found that organized  play time and outside  play helped....

Answer

My sister says they call it the "terrible twos" because "f*cking awful" isn't as catchy. I think every parent goes through this- and every child tries to make sure that they do lol

Answer

My son is as they say here "high tempered" and I'm calm and quiet. He knows my buttons like excessive whining and being loud. I try and reason with him. It makes him crazy if I shut my eyes. So if he whines I shut my eyes. He's 3.5 and makese crazy everyday.

Answer

In all honesty I don't think it stops until they are in their 20s lol. But on the bright side we get to choose what behavior we acknowledge 😄
