Is this a phase all small children go through? Because if it is I can cope....
My son is nearly three. He saw a pair of trainers he liked and said yes when I asked him to try them. Took his shoe off he refused to try it on. I go to put them back and he says he does. Try it again, pulls foot away; put them back.... repeat.
I ask him to choose a new plate - plastic ones in Sainsbury’s - and he picks one. So I get it. He doesn’t want it. I put it back: he wants it....
New toothbrush - got the Lightning McQueen one but then he proceeded to shout and scream crocodile. Went to swap it and got the fucking crocodile for him to then scream lightning for ten minutes.
He is driving me insane at the moment. I don’t give in and usually just say no resulting in tears and snot and tantrums. But he doesn’t change his behaviour!! It’s like he just changes whatever it is so he can continue bawling at me!
I won’t mention he also refused to put his own shoe back on so I said he had to go in the trolley. The little git then yanked my hair so was sat in the main part of the trolley with one shoe on and still refused to put the other one back on. I was a
Woman on the fucking edge this morning....
He’s generally a really good kid but there are parts of his personality im seeing that I really dislike quite strongly and I don’t know where it’s coming from. He’s good as gold at his childminders - it’s like he does it just for me!
