Bugie - please say its true!! I just came onto the forum to post the question 'when does threenagerdom end' and found this thread. I remember saying to my mum about 6-9 months ago that my son was never anything but a pleasure - now i find myself thinking practically the opposite!


I think its been made worse by arrival of baby 2 about 3 months ago and dropping his nap. The link says girls get emotional but i think that is what is happening to my son - its like he has PMT!! Terrible crying and rages at the smallest things! Sometimes its funny - mostly its wearing. And i find the rudeness/ ignoring me really irritating! But then i feel guilty cause it has co-incided with arrival of a sibling (no doubt a factor) but i miss my lovely little boy!

My 2 year old is the youngest of three, so has no bloody excuses as he has always been a sibling.


He is a complete nutjob most of the time.


Broken or "dirty" bananas, driving the "wrong" way, cutting up/not cutting up fruit, not being allowed to run in the road in front of cars, having to put his coat on (in winter - bad mummy!), being forced to wear socks. All of these, and millions of other, maternal misdemeanours mean complete hysterical meltdown.


Thankfully, if the others are anything to go by, he will come out of it in about a year/year and a half's time. I, however, may not.

Ah mellors I feel your pain! Was just castigating myself for not enjoying my son more at the moment - apart from finding 'challenging' behaviour exhausting - I also find playing cars so boring! We do have lots of moments of joyfully playing together and I mostly adore him and he is increasingly very funny as his sense of humour develops - but I spend quite a lot of time counting the moments until I can put on cbbies and collapse onto sofa (whilst rocking baby with foot) and read something/ do something other than push a car or train around. I seriously don't know how stay at home mums do it - I am full of admiration (I'm on maternity leave and am really starting to miss trips to the loo by myself and lunchtime with no one to feed but me). And people who bring up children without TV deserve medals.
Reading this brings back, not so fond, memories of two toddlers 16 months apart. You all deserve medals. Sorry to say that they still stay very annoying. Son, now 22 and boomeranged back from university, looked in newly stocked fridge (via tesco.online) and said - why is there never any food in this house.... Sorry ladies to be the bearer of bad news - as mothers we are in it for the longest term.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
