It's a freaking tough job that gets no rewards you just have to try and get through it without mother guilt (which is hard I know). Tiny knows your commitment to her, she gets how much you love her - you are a fantastic mother.<br />xxxsophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636900902408572349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-9143095079555986532011-05-02T18:30:35.271+10:002011-05-02T18:30:35.271+10:00Yep. 3. 3 has balls on it.

They're hilarious and fun, quirky and outrageous, inquisitive and adoring. <br />Then you turn around, or look at them the wrong way, or use the wrong tone of voice, or require them to do something innocuous in a pretty achievable time frame and O.M.G. the world is ending. You are "SO MEAN", they just "DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE" and on and on it goes. <br />And just when you think you can not do it anymore, can not deal with, negotiate, tolerate any of it anymore, they turn four and life gets so.much.better.<br /><br />I'm currently counting down to 2 July in this house...KPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124224647059797583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-7881658967796646972011-05-02T14:07:36.021+10:002011-05-02T14:07:36.021+10:00oh i feel your pain.

We only made it through because my husband reminded me that this head-strong, unwaivering committment to a cause was admirable in adult women (but painful for parents in a 3 year old)!<br /><br />Good luck - there will be light at the end of the tunnel, and if not, it's only 15 more years before you can kick her out!!Ange Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570883812741766857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-89959016486980223342011-05-02T11:28:57.900+10:002011-05-02T11:28:57.900+10:00Oh god, I am feeling it Lex.

I thought exactly like you about my 3 year old , and then when she was 4, and now she is 5... and I'm still hoping she will out grow her stubborness and general diregard for my authority when she is 6! I keep telling myself this determination will be used for good , not evil , when she is in her twenties....trudi@maudeandmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007170728692725583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-27513841672525557452011-05-02T05:55:59.368+10:002011-05-02T05:55:59.368+10:00Lexi, do not fret.
