It drives me crazy. </p> <p>And the changing his mind &amp; then getting upset about it even after being asked a bajillion times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324502 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 19:33:19 +0000 MamaChin 2324502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sttn even though he did it perfect the first 2.5 years of his life.<br /> Not listening and then regretting it and throws a tantrum about it. "Wanna help me make oatmeal?" No answer. I ask two more times then just make the damn thing and all of a sudden its a huge stomping tantrum. I offer for him to make another bowl and it just makes the tantrum worse - "I want to make the one you made!" Wtf kid. WTF. </p> <p>Also asking me the name of every single song that comes on the radio, at least 3 times during the song. So our car ride anywhere is just me saying names of song I don't get to listen to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324426 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 18:04:53 +0000 mamabolt 2324426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ignoring everything I say so I have to repeat myself 100 times. The hitting. The one million questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324423 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 18:03:48 +0000 yellowbird 2324423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has been telling me "I can do whatever I want!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324416 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 17:50:29 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2324416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She feels like she needs to be in control so every time we "force" something upon her like...putting a plate of food down for a meal, or giving her a fork to eat the food or giving her her favorite dress to wear, she says "no I don't want it!" And throws it. And then 3 seconds later "I want it." Sooooo annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324393 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 16:57:59 +0000 NavyRN2012 2324393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ugh, bedtime 😫😭 It's seriously so exhausting. I am the ONLY person she will let put her to bed and she has started wanting to read a book to me (after I have read to her), and it takes foreverrrrrrr. If I don't let her do it, it's screaming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324297 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 14:08:38 +0000 Truth Bombs 2324297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This morning ever since my LO woke up. EVERY.THIRTY.SECONDS it's "Hey mama..." And when I say "Yes baby?" She asks me some absurd question or tells me something totally random, or just says hi. Wash, rinse, repeat ALL DAY LONG. My husband has also been home all day and not once is it "Hey daddy..?" No. "Hey mama...?" Every single time. I just put her down for a nap and told my husband I need him to not talk to me for 30 minutes because I just need silence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2324293 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 14:00:18 +0000 hellocupcake 2324293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: oh my goodness!! This is a threenager thing?! My LO has been doing his and I swore she was broken and was about to return her! 🙈 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308209 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:29:38 +0000 irene 2308209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to cry reading this thread. I guess I am glad that my threeager is "normal" and I am not the only one going insane.</p> <p>The other day I was thinking, they are such cute little humans. Why can't they be consistently adorable to match that face? I don't want my DS to grow up so quickly but at the same time I can't wait for him to grow out of all these craziness.</p> <p>Mine is the typical: not listening, ignoring me when I am talking to him, ignoring me on the most basic thing (such as can you please wipe your butt before getting out of the potty, or can you please wash your hands with soap after potty - all ends in why? why? why???), selective hearing, random tearful tantrums, not staying in bed or not trying to go to sleep at bedtime. Obviously he is a different kid at school and the teachers all praise him. They just think I am the crazy lady from The Shining when I say that's not how he behaves at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308144 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:38:00 +0000 mediagirl 2308144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fake crying.<br /> Pushing the limits with bedtime. Needing one more book. Or 12 more... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308143 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:37:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 2308143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Hahaha! Sometimes I growl and she's all, what's the matter Mama? All sweet. First they're sour then they're sweet?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308140 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:35:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 2308140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Yah, Evan will turn a light off so he can turn it back on or close and reopen a door. I swear my eyes hurt from how often I roll them behind his back :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308129 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:27:42 +0000 mrsjyw 2308129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 3 in late November. If I got paid every time I heard</p> <p>"Whaaaat?!"<br /> "I do it, by myself" or the alternative "I want my own, my own one" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308122 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:23:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 2308122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: @lovehoneybee: Olivia dropped a toy on the floor. From her seat at the table. I nicely picked it up and handed it to her. She HOWLED - "I do it by myself!" And threw it back on the floor. Like what in the actual heck..? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308121 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:22:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 2308121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: "I want to do it all by myself!" Then dissolve on the floor in a pile of tears when he can't. THIS. THIS. THIS. Every freaking little thing! We've had full-blown screaming tantrums several mornings this week because I turned a light on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308117 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:20:37 +0000 abmamma 2308117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old does many of the same things! The worst for me right now is the not listening/won't answer me when I ask her a question (even a simple question like "do you want milk?") until I ask it 5 times. And when she doesn't get something she wants, she shouts "I'm not going to do ANYTHING. I'm just going to sit sit sit!" And then hides in a corner or stomps off to her room. </p> <p>If this is a peak into the adolescent years, im worried :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308017 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:22:59 +0000 MrsRcCar 2308017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The defiant stare. 😡 I told my parents I was gonna drop N off. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308009 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:16:39 +0000 MrsStar 2308009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Selective hearing! I know she can hear me but chooses not to respond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308007 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:15:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 2308007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: Yes! Got my first "WHAT?!" The other day when I told her she couldn't do something 😳</p> <p>The other morning I was pulling her pajama pants off and she was ticked because she wanted to wear them out. She scowled at me and said "if my toenails fall off when you take my pants off I am NOT going to be happy." ....has that happened before to even be a concern??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2308003 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:12:50 +0000 SeptMomma12 2308003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What isn't he doing to drive me nuts would be a better question! :silly: </p> <p>"I want to do it all by myself!" Then dissolve on the floor in a pile of tears when he can't.</p> <p>And yes, just totally ignoring anything I say. In fact, he's started telling me I'm only allowed to ask him one question per day!</p> <p>Overall it's an awesome age but man are there some moments... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-threenager-doing-to-drive-you-nuts#post-2307998 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:06:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 2307998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She says "huh?" all the time! I know she hears me..</p> <p>She also could not care less about consequences. "If you don't stop I'm taking that away." "Okay!" 😤 </p>
