re: FWIW...the Tantrum Threes are FAR worst than the Terrible Twos

Well, my 14 year old is in the "I can't find what you just asked for" stage which runs into the "so I'll go sit down and not tell you I couldn't find it" stage. Also in the "can't follow directions to save my life" stage.

My little girl is 5. She is the sweetest. When she was 2-3, didn't have to tell her twice to stop something. She always did it the first time. Now, its like she doesn't hear us.

Identical twin boys are turning 3 on the 30th. Yikes. They march to their own drum and there is nothing you can do or say. Punish them. On the knees. Fine. I'll just do it again once I'm out of timeout. No big deal.

Add in our 3 week old....yep. Try feeding him, while my little girl is yelling at the boys because they are stepping on her drawings. Then, the run off, and the next thing I know, one has the other pinned under the toddler bed mattress.

Wake up, repeat the day.
