I'm sorry-- I can't hear you over all the noise. That racket? Oh, that's just my three-year-old daughter sobbing in Time Out. Why is she in Time Out? For throwing her juice cup across the room.
You see, I had the unmitigated gall to give her juice in a Thomas the Tank Engine cup instead of a Cinderella cup.
Don't worry. She's almost four. I'm sure this ridiculous behavior will stop soon.
What? What? WHAT? You say it won't stop? It will continue? Maybe get worse? Four is a “tough” age too?
Excuse me, I need to go throw myself off a bridge.

So I'm not the only Mom that can create a tirade by innocently giving their child what seems to be a reasonable item. Yesterday it was grapes. NOT CUT UP, Mommy! I want the WHOLE "geep". Who knows what will set off the tantrums today... And he's only 2 1/2... You say four is the magic age?
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly sure reason's got nothing to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThe twos were not at all terrible for us. The threes have sucked. The fours are apparently often associated with a bad word that alliterates with "four." As Ingrid said, "Four was the year that Daniel spit on me." (Literally).
