AIBU to wonder which of you evil MNetters took my adorable loving well behaved caring 3yr old

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

and swapped him with a shouty, naughty tantruming, rude obnoxious 4yr old?

[PointyBlackHat]

Whoever invented the terrible twos was talking b*llocks. 4 is much, much, much worse. Even with girls (I have survived 2 and have teh grey hair to prove it).

Loving the pub and the lemonade, though!

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

Agent I am obsessed taken with them too

[AgentZigzag]

s'pose I'll have to give him back then.

You're right TLES, it was the curls.

DD2 has them and I'm obsessed really very taken with them

[Happymm]

Sweet talker very clever though, realises he can get anything he wants when he does the old me luff you mummy routine

[MissVerydead]

I get- "You are making my time worse, Mummy" and, my very favourite (usually accompanied by sonic wail) "You've ruined my day!!!

She's just 3... Sigh...

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

grrrr @ Ruining his life!!! he is only just 4!!


He will be all loving again in the morning

[purplewerepidj]

I have managed to do painting, bathe, spread moisturising lotion on (he hates it), read a story to, and get to sleep 4yo DNephew. It's the first time I've done it alone because he's DP's nephew, who has gone out tonight. It was also my first day in my new job today.

All your experiences just make me think it was even more flukey that I managed it!

Although we did have a lot of hysterically silly giggling at ghost impressions, and calling people cuckoopants...

[BOOareHaunting]

Arf @ 'you're ruining my life - 1 lemonade is all I want'

I once when DS was doing the same about going out and not going to bed - gave him a pound, opened the front door, let him out - and shut it again.

Suddenly bed seemed like a better option.

[Andrewofgg]

Lady They will all give you hell sometime, it's the rules!

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

Andrew, DS1 wasn't like this at this age!!! he was sweet and adorable (ok he was undiagnosed aspergers but he didn't behave like this!!!)

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

for your other sweet boy talking!!!!


ds2 is now in bed shouting out
"You are ruining my life, 1 lemonade is all i want" - followed by sobs, I am having to try so hard not to laugh!!!

[Andrewofgg]

PMSL like every parent who has more or less successfully brought DC(s) to adulthood: because, OP, you ain't seen nothing yet!

[Happymm]

None of mine have ever called me poo poo head! DD cried when a boy at school called her that. Yes to testosterone surge though with boys-def noticed it with DS1-though he didn't ever request a trip to the pub-just necked tinnies at home:o

Won't tell you about my other sweet boy, who, has finally started talking Came out with "me luff you mummy,... Always" big tears from mummy.

Glad to hear about the finger!

[MrBloomsNursery]

That's hilarious! I love "poo bum" and "flat head"!! I also got called "smelly baby nappy poo"...If only she knew how sweet I thought her baby poo was when she was born

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

Mr, DS2 today told me

"You are a flat head"
"I love you poo poo brains"
"Let me go to the pub and play snooker and have lemonade with a pink straw tonight or I won't go to bed you poo bum"

[MrBloomsNursery]

NO! Not testosterone surge. My nearly 4 year old DD has started answering back and today she called me...."POO POO MUMMY" .

What happens to them when they hit 4?? :(

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

Happy, its doing really well!! still tender where the new skin is growing and swollen but am able to use it and am tying with it as i type this.

Also no I refuse to believe its testosterone as he is my baby I think Agent really has stolen him its cos he has curls you see!!

[Happymm]

Is possibly due to the testosterone surge boys get at that age, but agree, Agent, give him up! :o

How's the finger Lady?x

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

Agent pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee can I have my adorable boy back???

Crystal [hsad] If ou find them can you send him back please?

IPBJT Its not funny he is genuinly distraught because he can't go to the pub - I am consoling him with my mobile phone app "Istory"

[AgentZigzag]

No way hozay!

Mine now mwahahaha

[CrystalQueen]

ah - he has obviously eloped with my lovely two year old and left behind ContraryGirlAge3 in her place. yesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoyesno orange juine no purple no ORANGE no PURPLE etc.

[itspeanutbutterjellytime]

Hahaha! The pub?!

I blame the parents.

[LadyEvenstarsCoven]

Agent Can you please send him back? This urchin I have here is currently telling me he is not going to go to bed until I say yes to him watching a soldier film, yes to him having pepsi, yes to him going to the pub to play snooker (he has never done this).

[itspeanutbutterjellytime]

[AgentZigzag]
