Hey Y'all, I got a question?
(Yall know its serious when its in plain script and nothing about this post is fancy or cute!)
How do you successfully reprimand a three year old, who has had everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING stripped from him, from toys to special privileges, to time outside to play!?
Mind you, I am a single mother of two. I am currently trying to successfully (wishful thinking) divide my time between him and my one year old daughter.
Of course, I understand that he may want mommy's attention, he may be acting out, he may be jealous.....all reasons to consider, right?
But, even when I do spend time with him, or try to devote teaching mechanisms for him to learn, grasp, understand, etc....this little boy finds a way to set me off.
"Have patience" "Breathe" "Pray"....I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!!! I have whooped, popped, (tried) to scare the shit out of him, yelled....NOTHING WORKS!!!!!
I KEEP getting, "He's a boy, let him be...that's what they do" 👀 or "He's three, he doesn't know any better!"
My ASS he doesn't know wtf he's doing! Any time you wait til the ENTIRE house is sleep to sneak downstairs into the kitchen, climb INTO the pantry, and sneak snacks back upstairs and into your room to eat (AFTER) you've eaten two ADULT sized plates of food.....
LIKE HELP!!!!!!! FRFR I'm going to lose my MIND dealing with this little boy!
OPEN TO ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!
