help me

Have you ever had one of those days where you just can't stand your children? I've been having a lot of those days lately. Laine is no big deal. She's easy. She's a great baby....and I'm so so grateful for that. It's Gwen that's driving me nuts. Yesterday she drove me crazy! It took everything I had not to slap her silly, or leave the house screaming. She doesn't listen, doesn't obey, she screams and hits and doesn't care what I do to punish her. Nothing changes. She has a mind of her own and is so stubborn. I know, I know. It's normal. Right? Or is it not. Is my child really the anti-christ (like was predicted on the mission - I told you that one right?). I think she might be. AND if I'm already going crazy like this when she's 3, how is it going to be when she's 15? Yikes. Laine will be better...right? Well, I sure as hell hope so.

Ooh. I hate those days. Sometimes I have to put Brett in his room and walk away so I don't strangle him.

Luckily, he's been super good lately, which is awesome, because I'm pretty sure my hormones are off the hizzle and I could snap at any moment.

But I think 3-year-olds are the devil. All of them.

I have no good advice. I cant even tell you that it is going to get better, all I know is that there is a lot of drug dealers at my school if you want me to hook you up.
Just kidding, Gwen is awesome, she will always be awesome and you know that it will get better. I know that in a year I will be writting the same post and you will have to talk me off the edge so dont worry so much yet. She is fine and will be until you shake her silly. Call your mommy and have her have a little play date and get your mind off of it. Im so sorry she is acting so naughty. Maybe she is mad at Laine, maybe she is just going through a stage, but I really believe all will work out. As far as 15 goes...maybe she will be placed in a nice adoption agency by then.
love you

I sure hope its normal. Maybe we can go to the loony house together. If it makes you feel better Jonah pees his pants just to prove a point that we are not in control and when Nora is about to do something naughty, you can see her weighing the consequence and choosing to be naughty. Sometimes she even smiles when she is sitting in timeout.

Three year olds suck. All of them. I haven't had one yet that I didn't want to punch.
