2 yr Olds Have Nothing on 3 yr Olds

So you always hear about the terrible 2s and how horrible your child is going to be. You fear it, you anticipate the worst. Then it comes and its not very pleasant but it isnt as bad as you thought. Before you know it, its over and you've gotten through it with your sanity pretty much intact. 

Your big boy turns 3! He's now fully potty trained, he can brush his own teeth, eat by himself (even if not by choice), sleeps in his big boy bed and you think that life is great. You throw him a big shindig for his birthday. Actually, you have 2 parties, one with family and the other with friends (cause now he has a whole bunch of them. So grown up and cute!). Shortly after these blessed events, all hell breaks loose. Yes, ALL HELL breaks loose! He talks back, he's stubborn (OH SO STUBBORN), set in his ways (like an old man I tell you!), naps are sparse, and then you wish he was 2 again. I read an article the other day that was titled "3 Year Olds are Assholes". HAHAHAH Funny title....but there is some truth in there. My 3 year old is all the things I have mentioned above. Stubborn like mule, set in his ways like an old man, and the worst of all is that he's soooooo negative. I say black, he says white. I give him a surprise and he tells me its not the surprise he wanted. If I ask him to come here, he asks me why. I tell him to eat, and his tummy endlessly hurts (EVERYDAY FOR EVERY MEAL). AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! There are some days I think I'm slowly slipping into insanity. How could such a tiny little body cause so much mental agony. I get stressed when anybody says to him "Guess what? I got you a surprise". I feel like telling them not to bother because either he's going to freak out because it's not what he wants or he will refuse to say thank you and then I'll have to take it away from him anyway. 3 yr olds ARE assholes! LOL It is a nonstop craze of negativity. My friend and I both have sons with similar characters and we cannot understand how a 3 yr olds can act like such old men. We always say that it's because we're European. LOL! We're feisty. 

My 3 yr old is stubborn, negative, mean, horrible, feisty, emotional, wonderful, caring, loving, affectionate, an amazing big brother, the love of my life and I wouldn't change him for the world! (I might have to start drinking though...lol).

All you mothers who think their kids are horrible at 2, I warn you, prepare yourself for a ride of a lifetime because 3 yr olds are a whole new monster. But hang in there, I heard something about the f*ing 4s! Lord help us all......lol!

Canada Post Sucks!

So lately I've been having a lot of trouble with the postal system. I think everyone that works for them is incompetent....at least in the past few months. First I keep getting someone else's mail. Ok, so the number of our addresses are the same but not the same street. But really, cant these people read? Then lately both me and hubby had placed an order on amazon. A couple of days later we both received an email saying that our orders were shipped and delivered.We never got them so we had to email amazon to reship. I'm sure the post delivered the orders to the wrong house and the people who received them were not nice and kept the boxes.




NOW, just to add to my aggravation, I had mailed out three packages of pictures to family in Portugal. I actually went to the post office and had them weighed and everything. The person at the post office put what I thought was the appropriate postage on each package....yeah really? Shouldn't this be their job? Isnt it a no brainer. Just weigh the package, check the destination and add postage. Well guess what? I received 2 out of the 3 packages back in the mail saying that it was insufficient postage...and not by a dollar or anything...by $5.00!! Really? Now I'm just waiting for the 3rd package to come back so I can resend! GGGRRR!! I really cannot stand Canada Post right now. I think they hire idiots. *sigh* And that's it for my ranting.
