I feel you!! My son has been saying lately “no!” With an entitled and disrespectful tone! So I’ve been calling it out (without an over-reaction) and modeling the appropriate way. It’s still a work in progress. I guess consistency is the key. My brother-in-law recommended me to start taking away privileges when he does unacceptable behaviors. Like taking away his “Tv time” of the day…
Hope this help! Sometimes I feel like it is the way I’ve been raising him the problem or something like that. You know, mom guilt… But I’ve been seen other parents dealing with the same thing so I know these behaviors are developmentally appropriate! I guess the key is the way we deal with them and how consistent we are with the expectations we set for them. But it is definitely overwhelming 🥴
@Jamie sending my love and support! They say terrible 2s, I say 3 is a different level lol ❤️
@Fabiola thank you! Yes it does help! Even just knowing I’m not alone helps honestly aha She knows what she’s doing like bugging her sister pushing buttons, and like you said the behaviour and tone. Feels like never ending with trying to be consistent tho! Wonder what taking something away would do. My daughter is so hard to settle in a meltdown no matter how much I try to help her regulate and learn how to it doesn’t work. She’s been like that since day 1, and she doesn’t care for things either. I tried it once and she just couldn’t care less that something was gone lol

The indifference!! Kills me every time 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😆
Mine started to change a few weeks before his birthday, but I think most of the change has to do with the baby. My mom says when I turned three my head spun around and I grew horns.
Uhm yes! My kids is wilder more and more of a headache lately. He’s been very aggressive and throwing tantrums WAAAAAYY more and idk what to do! Anyone help?
@Isabel I wish I could help! I’m stuck with you too! Idk what’s going on lol I really dislike this age the more kids I have aha
@Katrina that’s an amazing way to put it!! That is such a true statement
My three year old is now so expressive and talking nonstop. Definitely having a battle over wills and independence and potty training has been a nightmare. 😅 My grandma keeps telling me terrible twos is nothing, wait till shes three. And now that its here, I see how it might be a struggle. Shes coming into her own becoming a little person 🥲
Mine turned 3 a week after the new year. And he has been difficult at times.
Three was my least favorite year with my first kid and unfortunately it was miserable for the entire year until the day she turned four and literally everything changed for the better. Sorry, that’s probably not very helpful except to say that it’ll pass 😅? So far, Year three with my second has been my favorite year.
Three is much harder than two in my opinion
My first turns 3 in just over a week 😳
