They were wrong...

I'm dealing with the terrible 10's right now....

Just found out that my son announced to his Sunday school class that he didn't believe in God.

It's not the terrible twos....it's really the terrible threes. That's all.

I agree, I spent many years working in Day Care Centers and agree totally with this.......

 

[vbailey]

I hate to tell you this but it only gets worse! They don't ever settle back down, ask any teenager!

No, they do get better at 4 and 5 years old....then it starts again in 7th & 8th grade...middle school....

I'm not sure what I'm going to do - Advise from the seasoned moms/dads please!

We give a dollar. :shrug:

 

[StrawberryGal]

My brother and sister who are twins [16 years old] don't get along too well. They love each other and all, but HATE that they are twins and even worse, that people KNOW they are twins

My son lost his first tooth last night! He's so excited for the tooth fairy.

Oooh, tonight is going to be fun! Congratulation on his first tooth!

 

[StrawberryGal]

We give a dollar. :shrug:

That do sound reasonable for a kid.

Good question! I called my mother and said 'I guess a quarter doesn't cut it anymore, huh?'...

I'm not sure what I'm going to do - Advise from the seasoned moms/dads please!

Last going rate in my house was $1 for each and a $5 for each of two front teeth.

my kids pediatrician told me that the terrible two's is actually not just when they are two, it is a two year time period usually between 1 1/2-3 1/2! I believe it, my youngest is 2 1/2 one year to go

Oh I gave my oldest $10 for the first tooth and he has gotten $5 for each tooth after

Last going rate in my house was $1 for each and a $5 for each of two front teeth.

We did something similar with ours. Two of my kids had silver crowns on their back teeth and we would give 2 or 3 dollars per tooth lost or 5 dollars for silver ones cause the tooth fairy thought those were more special. Our kids couldn't wait to lose those crowns!

 

[bcp]

we just started the 11th year of the terrible twos.

I hear that we can look forward to the glorious 18

We give a dollar. :shrug:

For the first tooth? Wow, we gave $5, then with the younger ones $10.

It only happens once.

It's his first tooth, I thought it was special, I gave him $5. For the others, I'll do $1/each. The front teeth, as someone else suggested, will get more.

He got up this morning, the first thing he did was come get me to check under his pillow. He was so excited. I'm taking him to the Dollar Store today, per his request, to spend his tooth money.

Kids have more than one tooth.

Kids have more than one tooth.

She probably meant the very first tooth....

 

[Cowgirl]

She probably meant the very first tooth....

He was at his mom's for the first tooth, but I'm pretty sure he still got a dollar.

You ain't seen nothing yet, girl. When they get to the terrible teens, you will wish to god you could go back to twos and threes.

Oh boy is that the truth! If you can't handle the 2's you will be in a world of hurt in 10 years!
