Terrible twos? Pssssh

Question

So it seems my daughter, who was 3 in June, completely skipped the 'terrible twos' and has full force with being a 'threenager' anyone else's?! 😑 about 70% of the time she doesn't listen or do what she's told, she cries (literally screams like a baby) when she doesn't get her own way, won't share with other children, she's started this thing where she runs away when we're out. I'm trying to raise a well behaved little girl but it seems impossible when she just doesn't listen 😢 she's very polite, knows to say please & thank you, but acts like such a spoilt brat.. I'm dreading her baby sister being born in November 😶😶

Answer

I call them terrorist threes lol! And he seems to be worse since he knows he will be a big brother 😑

Answer

My two year old is like that... Don't tell me it's gonna get worse? 🙈😭

Answer

My kid was a butt for his two's. Was awesome for three's and now for four he's a bit of a shit. Definitely pushing the buttons. At least with my boy he can tell me what's wrong and understand why he's getting in trouble.

Answer

ThankGod I'm not the only one! My son never had terrible twos but since he turned 3 it's been pretty stressful! I always say his terrible twos came a bit late. Full on tantrums and like so many others have said, he's NEVER listening to me! In the beginning I could calm him down by explaining that I didn't understand what he was saying and I would listen to him if he spoke calmly and that always worked. Now he's abt 3 and a half and I'm noticing he's calming down a lot! Just had a baby two months ago and I'm surprised at how well he's dealt with it. Before he didn't care that I was angry at him but now he's actually starting to listen so maybe it does get better...good luck to everyone else, I know how u feel!

Answer

Common misconception! People don't realize it but three is almost always worse than two! Good luck!!

Answer

Three is always worse than two.

Answer

The oldest while turn 3 in January, im not ready for this.😕 She never had that 'terrible 2' stage, thankfully! But I've heard 3's are worse and I'm guessing, from what I've seen and read, it is.😢 Oh man.

Answer

The same thing happened to me with my son. He was the sweetest and turned 3 and we have been dealing with bad behavior. He is 8 now and thinks he knows everything.  He is definitely a challenge but he still can be very sweet. I don't think you can do very much about their little personalities but don't back down when dealing w/ bad behavior because they know how to work the system especially once a new baby comes. I have  a 3 year old daughter as well. Her screams are the worst definitely my drama queen.  It's always the end of the world. Band aids are her best friend.  I love my children, just can't let the bad behavior run rampant or the teenage years will be hell.

Answer

Threes are way worse than two.
