Hi H.:
It would appear nothing has changed,since your last request.I'd recommend you read on what to expect from a three year old,however,if you aren't willing to take the time to read some of the advice given you here,you certainly aren't going to take the time to read A chapter out of a book. Your three year old's actions are normal for his age.You have set your expectations to high for him. Because of this, he's going to continue to disappoint and frustrate you. Your going to wind up with A teenager,that feels no matter how hard he tries to please you or make you proud,its never enough.Until you realize,that he is only A toddler,with minimal skills,and till which time you stop taking everything he says quite literaly,your going to continue to be frustrated,and your son miserable. In your last request,you said you got very angry,when you asked your son who he thought he was talking to,and he said "You" It's as though you were setting him up for an argument.You knew what his reply was going to be. Now, you are frustrated and mad,because when you asked him if he had a good time,he replied with an honest "NO" You took this as an insult. You got angry at him for being honest in his reply to you.You know better. You know he had a wonderful time.He thought it important,and he felt comfortable enough to let you know his disappointment in not getting to throw the darts.If he can't feel the freedom to convey his sincere feelings to his mother,(Good or bad)who does he talk to? You could have brushed off his little complaint and said well,maybe when your a little bigger,or maybe dad and you could do it together next time.If you continue to react negatively to his truthfulness,he will soon begin lying to you,simply to keep YOU happy,or to keep the peace.As he grows he'll lie to everyone else around him,to keep them happy. You see where this is going?Everyone is entitled to an opinion,just because he doesn't think the way you do,doesn't make him wrong.If you think the sky is blue,and he thinks it looks purple....Well then that's how he sees it.Stop making everything an issue or debate,and simply enjoy these young years with your son. You only get one go around.I wish you and your son the best.
