I might just gorge on pizza once I take my last reading for the night since my nighttime snacks don't typically affect my fasting glucose (and some of them are quite carby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2558589 Sat, 28 May 2016 09:15:05 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2558589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: kids are wierd. Have you ever read the book "The No No No Day"? My son loves it (a little girl hates everything and tantrums all day) and when he has a crummy day we tell him "huh, is it a No No day?" It gives us a little bit of respite before he goes back to tantrums :wink: </p> <p>My son had what has to be the 456th meltdown over wearing pants. How does he not accept yet that just underwear isn't appropriate for leaving the house?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2558553 Sat, 28 May 2016 06:59:13 +0000 Cherrybee 2558553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: :heart: :heart: Atkins do a fudge caramel bar (sugar free and very low carb) that I found went some way to helping!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2558547 Sat, 28 May 2016 06:46:05 +0000 avivoca 2558547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: H had a full on meltdown last night because I wouldn't put a diaper on her. Today is the day all the diapers go away. I'm alone, pregnant, and I have GD, so I can't even eat my feelings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2558519 Sat, 28 May 2016 04:36:46 +0000 Cherrybee 2558519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...... Now it would appear that she will only poo in the dark? WTH?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2558516 Sat, 28 May 2016 02:30:38 +0000 Cherrybee 2558516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, E has woken up in a winning mood today. So far, she refused to go to the toilet (and by refused, I mean screamed "NO!" and then had a full on physical fight with DH when he tried to lead her there). Then she had a meltdown because she didn't like the cup he brought her milk in. She kicked DH and then cried because he "hurt her slipper", then she sat next to me and hit me because I was "squashing her". We asked what show she wanted to watch and she screamed "nothing". Hmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2554627 Mon, 23 May 2016 12:08:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2554627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ha!

She's a expert eavesdropper. I peeked back and saw her just quietly listening. A few minutes later she said "Mumma, I had a good day and a bad day, because I was being a bit naughty and yelling and not listening. I'm sorry mumma". UGHHHHHH my heart go boom. Its those moments of self-realisation that kill me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite/page/2#post-2554188 Sun, 22 May 2016 16:30:18 +0000 MamaChin 2554188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids have found a new way to fight, the 3 year old will ask the 2 year permission to do something, she will say no and he will cry.

DH and I can't have a conversation m without K yelling at us that we're ignoring her! </p> <p>She started pinching me when she gets angry.

He mostly doesn't do it now but he thought it was HILARIOUS for a few weeks. He also started laughing anytime I said "No." I can only imagine him as a 3 year old... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2554070 Sun, 22 May 2016 10:29:31 +0000 wrkbrk 2554070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laughing reading these ... yet also terrified.

You are going too fast." Or just a sassy "slow doooooown." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2554040 Sun, 22 May 2016 09:11:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 2554040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 minute meltdown with tears because DH backed the car out of the garage without him in it. Mind you DH wasn't going anywhere, he was just moving the car to the driveway. </p> <p>Sometimes when I can't ignore it I just look at him dumbfounded and say "really dude?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2554018 Sun, 22 May 2016 08:10:39 +0000 avivoca 2554018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: H has started saying, "Mama, you aren't driving. You can read this to me!" as I am sitting at the stoplight waiting for it to turn green. No miss H, I cannot read books whenever you want in the car because even though the car is not moving, I'M DRIVING. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2554006 Sun, 22 May 2016 07:57:22 +0000 skipra 2554006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: OMG my just turned 2 year old is like that in the car too!

He now likes to say, "I told you that ALREADY!" if we didn't hear what he said. And if we warn him about a consequence (i.e. if you do that again we will have to go home") he has been saying, "Then I guess I will have to push you into the ocean" or "I will put you in the garbage". :meh: And he has become so aggressive lately! like drive by aggression--running past us and smacking us on the leg as he goes by, playing nicely one minute and then hitting us the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2553998 Sun, 22 May 2016 07:40:27 +0000 Munchkin 2553998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>following because OMG!

The new one is when I'm driving, when stopped for too long or whatever, LO yells, "Goooooo" with so much sass. Or if the light turns green and I'm still not moving (because of cars in front of me) he also tells Goooo, it's green! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2553961 Sun, 22 May 2016 06:14:40 +0000 hellobeeboston 2553961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: we get yelled at for talking to each other too 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2553947 Sun, 22 May 2016 03:32:24 +0000 jaguar 2553947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G's newest response to requests is NEVER.</p> <p>Where she learnt that from, I have no idea. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2553920 Sat, 21 May 2016 22:32:38 +0000 ALV91711 2553920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This morning DS got mad and hit me. Automatic time out. I took him up to his room and he just laughed and laughed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/threenager-mamas-unite#post-2553865 Sat, 21 May 2016 19:38:37 +0000 skipra 2553865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a pretty calm day today which was nice. The worst part was when he totally freaked out because I asked him to stay in an area by our car rather than playing in the middle of a parking lot. Of course this was less than a minute after someone commented how well behaved he was! Haha.<br /> And first words out of his mouth this morning were "I can see you have a booger in your nose!" Lol that's some tact, kid. </p>
