lost my mind


 (scary picture I know, but this is how I have been feeling)

Any one have ideas or advice on how to control/discipline an out of control, head strong, stubborn, naughty, disobedient, crazy, tantrum throwing, 3 year old (almost 4) little girl. I'm out of ideas....and out of patience. Help.

I'm excited to read what people say, because I'm at a loss. I wanted to kill my 3-year-old today.

I suck at all things discipline. I feel great about myself if I only let her get ONE toy at the store. Huge accomplishment. I also have already started saving for braces because I cant take away her binkie and also a custom made giant bed because all my kids will have to sleep with us because I suck so bad and making them do anything. I dont remember the last time Addi took a bath by herself and she eats hotdogs for breakfast most mornings. Does this make you feel any better? You are awesome and Gwen is just God's little joke on you. We will all laugh hard in Heaven. Sorry, wish I had a magic word but I am terrible.

you should get a friend/family member who is calm but firm that can do baby bootcamp for you. or you could enroll for that supernanny show.

This is seriously the funniest post. And so are the comments. Let me just tell you. . . last Sunday I was googling "How to discipline a 3 year old girl." I TOTALLY feel your pain? Does Gwen say "Butt Crack?" Maybe Ellie can teach her that in June. Are we getting serious pay back from when we were little? I mean, you probably are, but I never called my mom the "b" word. LOL!!!

do you have ANY idea how many times i have to put MYSELF in time out because if i don't, the child will not make it until her next birthday?!!! i ordered 3 books off of amazon last week just to have some guidance on the subject!

Why didn't I believe anyone when they told me 3 was worse than two??? Let me know if you figure anything out. Until then maybe we should take a trip somewhere and come back when they are 6 or something.
