Wife was having a casual chat with a friend about our toddler boy. Wife: yeah sometimes I have to tell him more than once to do something. He just doesn't listen sometimes. Friend: wow, have you ever thought about taking him to a psychiatrist? And no, friend wasn't joking either. It's easy to see why we've drifted apart.
Got a one year old. I feel bad for her already. Poor kids gonna be put on Ritalin the minute she doesn't do what her mom wants
Some people haven't had a 3 year old boy. They are wild monkeys, except that the wild monkey doesn't try to push his limits as often. I thought I raised my kid right, but he acts spoiled. When his father is around, he straightens right up.
My dad stopped me from writing with my left hand. Now I'm right handed, but I clutch a pencil like a neanderthal.
I've never met anyone with kids or not that stupid about raising children. However I can say that my own personal view of parenting before ha I g kids and after are certainly different. You know what you think in your head about parents when out say in a restaurant before you have kids yourself ... Then how you actually act yourself when you have kids. I now have lots of young kids! So we're like a walking advertisement for birth control when we go out. And that's just how it is. Trying to raise smart, competent, independent kids who don't grow up to be assholes.
My 3 year old is an absolute douche sometimes. If we don't put the clothes on him in the morning that are to his liking, he will throw a fit and cry until we change them. He demands that things be done in a specific way (even things that don't involve him) and will get very upset when his directions are not followed. He will rarely obey us if it goes against his wishes unless we threaten him with physical violence. If I scold him for anything he mean mugs the **** out of me and mouths off to me. What a fun age.
I've got twins turning 4 in a couple of weeks. They play rough and fight DIRTY. I'm constantly breaking up wrestling matches and submission holds. "Terrible twos" is a complete myth. Twos were a cakewalk. Threes? Not so much... Mine have just recently stopped taking naps. Man...we used to really look forward to those nap times. About 3 hours in the middle of the day when the house was totally quiet and you could do whatever you wanted. I miss them already.
RIP nap time over here too. It was the time for the wife and I to get down! We're typically too damn tired after they're in bed.
My 2 year old takes my phone away from me and says Got'eem while he does it. Calls me du-bag when I take something away from him. Calls me breh. Loves to throw everything at me like a football. He thinks he can get away with all this because he looks like Brad Pitt.
Sounds like all of us are raising kids that need to see psychiatrists. I'll see if I can get us a group discount
You ain't lyin. I miss my afternoon delight. Now its put on Dora the Explorer in his room and pray he sits still for 15 minutes.
