Terrible 3's!

Am I the only one who's DC skipped the terrible 2's and went into the terrible 3's?! My child has changed over night, I'm not sure what's going on but we've had tantrums, mood swings, shouting, throwing toys. It's like someone has taken away my polite caring toddler and replaced her with a hormonal angry teenager!

Yes me! Got away with the terrible twos...but as described above now she is 3! (Incidentally, I've got one of those aforementioned teenagers too). Plus my own hormones are awful thanks to good old perimenopause. A winning combination!

That's what we call mine! Grin

And yes OP, I also have a 2 year old Dd so I'm currently getting tag teamed by both of them.

They seem to have had a little conversation about sleeping in shifts atm also, I'm knackered....they've woken each other up tonight and I'm at a complete loss how to settle them both....Confused

This is definitely the most brutal age so far!

Oh yes it really is. I find myself getting to the point arguing with a 3 year old who doesn't listen to me anyway. Grin doesn't want to do anything i say. Although I did have a nice moment this morning when he came in and cuddled, soon ended quickly!
