Threenager Why I Fear Him

-

I fear my child sometimes! Why? He is THREE!

To some of you that might mean nothing at all. Let me tell you though THREE is scary. Who in this world made up that there was such a thing as the Terrible Two's? That person might not have had kids because two is easy peasy. When a child is two they are still learning to communicate and they seem innocent and sweet. Three hits and  it is a whole new ball game. They can very well verbally communicate! They know that there care consequences to there actions and guess what? THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING RATS BUTT! You read that right. These Threenagers are testing you in every way possible just to see how long it takes for you to yell and pull your hair out. Why? They think it is Funny! At this age to them we are just their Minions. We walk on egg shells fearing what might set them off.  I currently have to teens in the house so I know what a teenager is like and the mood swings that come with it but THREE is worse.


A Huffington Post article explains it this way.."The threenager is that age when your 3-year-old continually acts like they are going on 13. They have an attitude for miles, a stubborn streak, and want what they want... when they want. Hell hath no fury like a threenager who refuses to nap." Man do they it on the nail there.


I mean who negations with a child. I do currently. I do or my child would not eat or sleep. Just the other Day I negotiated for him to eat breakfast. If he ate five bites of his cereal then he would get what he really wanted for Breakfast M&M's and Funions. He did eat his five bites and then got his M&M's and Funions. As a mother or father we will win some and lose some. I choose to lose that round in fear of a meltdown before preschool. Am I ashamed of this? No Way, I was on time to work and he made it to daycare on time.


I love my threenager beyond words but that does not make me currently fear him any less. I do believe that I will miss him being young but I will not miss the Threenager phase.

WE HAVE TEENS HELP

I absolutely love my children. Even though I have both a threenager and teenagers in the same house hold. Some days I don't know which is harder having a threenager or the teenagers. At least my threenager still wants to cuddle and wants dad and mom when he is feeling sad or hurt. The teenagers on the other hand. They only want to cuddle when they want something from you or if you are doing something for them. Also how different are boy and girl teenagers... wow just wow are they different. My husband Paul and I we are in this together to raise these humans.  Our teenager girl is the oldest and she is very similar to how I was as teenager. I liked to be left alone when I was at home. I wanted to hide in my room, talk on the phone and play with my hair and makeup and that's how our Kenzie  who is 13 is. My grandmother who raised me in my teenage years thought something  was wrong with me at that age and took me to a therapist. My therapist saw me three times total only to

Part Two: Letter to Bio- Mother From: Step Mother

First of all thank you to all who read, commented, shared, like and messaged me about my last blog post Part One. There are so many different situations life puts us in it was nice to hear the variety of stories and life events. So THANK YOU for sharing yours with me. After reading other step parents responses to my blog it’s a general consensus that we as step-parents do not feel adequate and we feel less of a parent. None of us ever feel like we are enough.  We do not know the correct boundaries, no one wrote us a book on the proper way to be a step parent.   I did another poll on Facebook  my question this time was “If you could say one thing to your child’s bio mom or dad what would it be?” Here where some of the responses: *Don’t talk to the children about adult issues.. it causes them stress and anxiety. *Don’t bad mouth the other parent. * Why have you not been hit by a bus? *Don't bad month my children. (Speaking about step parents own kids) * Treat kids equally.
