Hi..I'm really new at this blog thing, but my name is Jenny, and I'm a mother of 2 boys. Chase is 5 and Gavin is almost 3. The point of this blog is to tell the world how much I LOVE my children, even when they make me yell and swear to shave my head like Britney Spears. So this is my way to vent before letting it get that far! Oh, did I mention that I love my kids?
Chase has the attitude problem of a 13 year old. When I ask him to do something, it's the end of the world and he's just too busy playing video games to be bothered with. Psshh... Well excuse me Mr. I'm 5 and I know everything. Trying to get him to eat normal food like mac n cheese, and what kid doesn't like that, is like pulling teeth without anesthesia. He freaks out. If you make him try something new, he makes himself throw up. I am not kidding, he literally gags himself. Only my kid! BUT...He's extremely smart and loves to learn anything and everything. He's got a brain and he's not afraid to use it! He's sooo caring about people and animals. He loves going fishing with his Daddy. He's my Chase and I wouldn't have him any other way!
I know I'm not the only 27 year old mother in the world that swears she gave birth to the devil (okay fine a brat), but man my 2 year old (Gavin) is tough. He gets into everything and anything, and almost always manages to break it. He's worse than Curious George. He has to touch everything..I'm not joking at all. I think he might have OCD or something. He lines up all his cars and if you touch one he has a conniption. He curses and tells people to shut up. I've tried to put this kid in time out. I've tried taking things away and threatening to not give him snacks. I've tried hot sauce (just a teeny dab on the finger), but he doesn't care. He just goes right back to doing what he did in the first place .BUT.... He's super cute. He loves to cuddle and give kisses. He's the first one to wipe your tears when your crying and he's there when your bleeding with toilet paper. He's my Gavin and I wouldn't have him any other way!
I did mention that I love my kids right?
Oh my Jenny! You are so not alone though! Jake is a terror lately also. He is talking back, gets so rough with everyone and is going through a I'm-afraid-of-everyone stage. In a way it's good because he definitely does not talk to strangers, but it's also ridiculous! He is terrified of our neighbor up the street and won't even go outside if we are talking to someone he doesn't know. One time, he wouldn't go in the chic-fil-a playard because there was a dad in there and he had to walk past him! Ridic! Our kids will outgrow their weirdness! Hang in there- I feel ya!! haha
ReplyDeletelol gavin sounds like my talon, very strong willed. Learning how to deal with a strong willed kid is very tough. Thru friends I know parents who have tons of kids. way more kids then ive ever known anyone to have. you probably wont even believe me, well their 6th kid was strong willed, shes now 17, and the sweetest girl ever. the father said this "if you teach a strong willed child to do whats right, they will have the strong will to do whats right". So hearing that ive been trying to find the way to teach him, its been a long process but im starting to see a change in him. hang in there and keep working with him strong will is not a bad thing, atleast im hoping lol :)
