threenager - Real Mum story on MoM

15 Comments

I have a darling 2.5 year old toddler, we have lots of fun and I love her with all my heart.
Sure we go through tantrums, that’s all part of life., she doesn’t sleep through the night and that’s part of our life too, I don’t mind cuddles in the middle of the night.
The last 2 days, she has started what I call arguing, I say yes, she says no, I say it is, she says it isn’taymy mum says it’s a stage, but oh my goodness I had never heard of this stage, I think this might be what they call the threenager period. I hope it isn’t a long phase lol

I know this too well, my daughter didn’t start until after 3 but it lasted till just before she went to school. There were some spectacular tantrums then, never knew a little kid could be so violent! It was so frustrating, there were some days that she spent a lot of the day in time out. I constantly called my mum to vent, but it does get better. She is 9 now, still has tantrums, not often but when she does they are more sulking.

  Agreed. My nine year old sulks more than throwing a tantrum these day.

Oh yes, it’s not an easy time. You wonder what happened to your nice little baby! It does get better though, but the attitude changes.

It’s crazy how early they start to test boundaries! When I say no to something, My 10 month old smiles and crawls even faster. I’m not looking forward to the 2.5year old threenager stage:)

I wish I was responsible for the name, but I saw it somewhere on Facebook.
What my daughter is going through now, made me think this must be it lol.
It’s improved today and not do constant , which is good
