10 Reasons Age Three is More Terrible Than Two
by Jill Smokler, AKA Scary Mommy



1. At two, they can barely talk. At three, they never shut the hell up.

2. At two, they cry. At three, they throw temper tantrums so epic, you become convinced that they are possessed by the devil.

3. At two, they’re happy to eat anything you present to them. At three, they eat only three foods (usually consisting of a starch and processed cheese.)

4. At two, baths are a ten minute event, the result of which is a clean child. At three, baths take over an hour, and result in a drenched bathroom, sopping wet mommy and 16 used towels.

5. At two, they wear diapers that can be changed on your watch. At three, they’re potty trained and the world revolves around their bladders and bowels.

6. At two, they are distracted by a box of Gerber Puffs at the grocery store. At three, they want to dictate your entire food list.

7. At two, they let you dress them, looking innocent and adorable. At three, they insist on picking out their clothes, looking like pint sized versions of mental institution inhabitants.

8. At two, they don’t like to get dirty. At three, they thrive on it.

9. At two, you can do things for them, saving infinite amounts of time. At three, they must do everything by themselves, taking FOR-#######-EVER.

10. At two, manipulation is the last thing on their minds. At three, they own you. And they know it.

I think we spent ten minutes in the kitchen/living room/outside last night while he walked around saying "want THAT one" without ever giving me even the slightest clue as to what "THAT one" actually was. I eventually gave up and walked outside.

I think the peeing event occurred after this.

Chase: Reeeoo
Me: Oh you wanna watch Rio, okay
Chase: Reeeoooo
Me: You want to turn the wheel, no you can't drive
Chase: Reeeooo
Me: I don't know what you're saying
Chase: Reeeoo
Me: You want to watch Rio ? :confused:
Chase: Reeooo
This went on for about 5 minutes...
He was saying he wanted the RADIO turned on :ohwell:

I actually had fun with the 2s, and I had them times 2 (the twins went through them at different, but overlapping times). When the first "terrible" one would start the "no thing", I would say "OH OH! Mr. No-No is here" in the silliest voice, and keep talking to him and calling him Mr No-No untill he laughed and forgot to be fussy.

The second one was Mr. No-Joe.

Looking back, dinner time was painful for a while with power struggles (it is amazing what you forget). I think if you just keep firm for a fairly short time, things will be better pretty soon. Then it's on to the next parenting adventure!
