If she squirms and gets hurt getting in the car seat, I did it. When she bit her balloon animal dog and it popped, the "doggy bit her". I agree that it's hilarious but then I also wonder if I should be doing more to make her take responsibility... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blaming-inanimate-objects#post-2734609 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:28:47 +0000 erinbaderin 2734609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is also 3, and is going through something similar - he'll do something and then say "Fox (his favourite toy) wanted me to" or "It wasn't me, it was Fox!" He also recently has been kicking stuffed animals out of his room at bedtime for doing naughty things - last night twenty minutes after I put him to bed he was calling at his gate and when I went up he said "Superman isn't listening to my words, he won't stop flying. I don't want him in my room." and Superman had to sleep in the hall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blaming-inanimate-objects#post-2734068 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:00:00 +0000 Bao 2734068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest who is 3 is going through an interesting phase right now. She is blaming "naughty" things on her stuffed animals. When I ask who did it, she will name off one of her stuffed animals. It's usually the same one, and she says "Duke did it, he's naughty" it's kind of funny since I know she very clearly did it but I'm curious if anyone else has a LO who went through a phase like this. Is it just something to let pass? </p>
