No I'm not in the middle of battling cancer, instead I am in the middle of battling a 3 year old, Mikey. I am about at my wits end with this kid. Many people have mentioned it's just the third child syndrome and the fact that he is three but that doesn't help or make living with him any easier. What am I supposed to do about it? First off everyone loves Mikey because he's cute and has a fun personality but many people have not seen his temper, anger or meanness. He is very stubborn. I remember my mom telling me when I was little she'd hear me in my crib wanting to get out and she'd tell my dad. I hate that kid. You better go get her or I may hurt her. Of course she didn't hate me, just my behavior. I'm sure she laughs now as it's payback time. My mom disciplined me for years and stayed on top of me and look how great I turned out. I can't imagine being the terror she tells me I was. It's been a long 3 weeks and any extra prayers you can put in for my sanity and his safety (teasing) would be much appreciated. Neil and I, after discussing him with others are trying really hard to praise him for every little good thing he does and trying to say more of those than negative. We'll see if it works. I don't know if I'm up for this coming week when I'll Presley here too. Here's praying for a miracle angel child.

We need a support group for moms of 3 year olds! Lots of chocolate would be at every meeting! I completely and totally feel your pain. And my child is the oldest.
