She says "huh?" all the time! I know she hears me..
She also could not care less about consequences. "If you don't stop I'm taking that away." "Okay!"

What isn't he doing to drive me nuts would be a better question!
"I want to do it all by myself!" Then dissolve on the floor in a pile of tears when he can't.
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!
Overall it's an awesome age but man are there some moments...
-
@SeptMomma12: Yes! Got my first "WHAT?!" The other day when I told her she couldn't do something
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???
-
Selective hearing! I know she can hear me but chooses not to respond.
-
The defiant stare.
I told my parents I was gonna drop N off.
-
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.
If this is a peak into the adolescent years, im worried

@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!
-
@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..?
-
Almost 3 in late November. If I got paid every time I heard
"Whaaaat?!"
"I do it, by myself" or the alternative "I want my own, my own one" -
@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
-
@lovehoneybee: Hahaha! Sometimes I growl and she's all, what's the matter Mama? All sweet. First they're sour then they're sweet??
-
Fake crying.
Pushing the limits with bedtime. Needing one more book. Or 12 more... -
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.
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.
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.

@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!
-
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.
-
@mediagirl: ugh, bedtime
-
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.
-
A has been telling me "I can do whatever I want!"
-
The ignoring everything I say so I have to repeat myself 100 times. The hitting. The one million questions.
-
Not sttn even though he did it perfect the first 2.5 years of his life.
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.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.
-
Everything is "shut up!" It drives me crazy.
And the changing his mind & then getting upset about it even after being asked a bajillion times.
-
Mine does the huh or "what'd you say?" too!
Currently mine is just driving me nuts with her snot EVERYWHERE! try as I might to get her to sneeze into her arm it is not happening. And we have a two week old.
