My boys are still young but they already have attitudes lol. I think it’s normal… hopefully they all grow out of it.

OMG! Karen, I thought I was the only one who dreams of the terrible twos as the golden time! The threes are WAAAAAAAAAAAYY worse than the twos! How come no one ever tells us about that one? My husband has named them the triple threat threes! Walking, talking & attitude! Shan’s last blog post..Shameless Begging! I Need Your Help...

My daughter will be 4 in March & she has been a smart~ass since the day she was born!

But in the last few weeks it has become way less cute & more sass. She yells “I AM doing “X”! I tell her not to jump on the couch because she could fall or break something & her response is “But I didn’t!”

I tell her to do something, anything & the answer is “No”. I think the next thing is soap in the mouth. Timeouts do not work for her. Taking away cherished toys/objects will not phase her.

Those books “The Happiest Toddler on The Block” & Super Nanny’s rules are laughable. I dare them to spend three days with my Diva. They will be in the corner rocking back & forth & crying for THEIR Mommies!

This is why I named my blog “Last Shreds Of Sanity” because that is about all I have left of mine. The fact that she is highly intelligent doesn’t help matters much, either!

Oh, and she can be very polite when she wants to be…or when she is trying to impress a new person. (This is why many people don’t understand my losing my mind over this sweet little girl of mine. I always tell them to take her for a couple of days, then tell me if they still think she is so sweet & innocent!)

She even charmed the wait staff a Chili’s restaurant the other night so well that they gave her a coupon for a free meal!! Yep, she’s only 3 3/4 years old! That’s my girl!

oh yes. Alyssa is the same way. SO SO SO sassy. I was so upset at Disney with her when she wanted these hannah montana glasses I did give in but boy if we were at home I would have put her in the car and drove home!

I'm not sure if they grow out of it. No matter how hard we try, our 7yo boy acts like a 13yo PMSing girl! There are some days I want to rip off his head and spit down his neck. My hope is that if we're consistent, he'll outgrow it eventually. If not, I might have to ship him off to military school for his own safety. AmandaG’s last blog post..Christmas Specials

I forgot to say that the terrible 3s are much worse than the terrible 2s. You have to pick your battles or else you won't have enough energy to face the terrible 4s. ;P Karen of Sillymonkeez’s last blog post..Believing Is The Key!
