    We have a rule of no TV (or screens) from an hour before bedtime and in protest of turning it off they both took themselves to bed early. Sure showed me…

    I’m not going to lie… Im dealing with an almost 4yo whose favorite word is “No”, the slightest inconvenience (real or imagined) results in a full blown meltdown and when I get frustrated my wife keeps acting like I’m being the unreasonable one because I’m sick of my daughter going full blown “WHY GOD!?! WHYYYYYY!?! YOU BASTARD!!!” Because I told her she can have ice cream after dinner, not before.

    Its exhausting, and my wife wants a second one.

      I really struggle with those cases too. If I flat out tell my kid “No” and he gets upset? That makes perfect sense to me. But so often now he’s having a meltdown and I am literally saying, "Why are you crying? You will get everything you want if we just finish this thing first!

        If it helps at all, since posting this she has gotten better at dealing with stuff like this.

    He hit his toes on one of the table’s legs, and while reaching for his toes with one of his hands he hit his head on the table.

    It was slapstick comedy gold, and I couldn’t stop laughing while giving him a hug. 😂

    Poor little bud

    Relevant details. I have 3 step kids and their bio dad passed a few years ago. My wife and I went out of town Thursday afternoon and got back Monday afternoon. My mother, a math teacher, watched them for us.

    We asked our 12 year old (Peter) how the weekend one and he said it was fun but kind of boring. We asked why and he said

    “It was just so quiet. John (18yo big bro) had work and your mom was grading papers all weekend. I’d take off my headphones and all I could hear was typing. It was weird.”

    My mom had to grade papers. Peter grew up the youngest of 3 and we are very active parents. He is not used to having to entertain himself. He seemed shocked when I laughed and told him that was basically my whole childhood as an only child.

    I’m OP, but I realized I didn’t share my own story. We are in the middle of potty training our 28 month old. One time she was sitting on her toilet, then stood up and excitedly yelled “I did it!” And then she looked into the toilet, saw nothing, and said something to the effect of “I just farted…”

    Hilarious moment.

    Got drunk and tried to teach the 3 and 4 year old how to write their names. 4 year old really struggled which frustrated me so I started screaming at him calling him an idiot.
