@rutheydee I’m so confused

 

[how2101]

@wizardbizzom 4 year olds have melted OP’s brain meats. They can no longer finish the thoughts.

 

[wizardbizzom]

@how2101 Ohhhhhh

Okay lmfao relatable

 

[rutheydee]

@wizardbizzom Yess!!! This today was freaking insane in particular.

@rutheydee Que?

 

[rutheydee]

@steve3 So much change in the last few months. 4 year Olds are difficult.

 

[steve3]

@rutheydee We have twin two year olds and a four year old. Four year old is harder work at the minute

 

[mattbraunlin]

@rutheydee Are you venting or needing advice? If it’s advice you may want to add some more information/a question

 

[rutheydee]

@mattbraunlin Just venting.

@rutheydee People warned us of the terrible twos

2yo was easy

4yo is harder, also theyre harder to carry if theyre being difficult.

and just yesterday we were play wrestling/fighting and ... it actually hurts now when a playful jab lands on me so i gotta end those games now.

Feeding is also difficult, the foods they eat narrows.

very entitled feeling they have.

i'm countering by making them do more tasks like dressing themselves in the morning, or no breakfast - okay - tiny breakfast (milk & fruit)

@rutheydee I have a 3 yo boy who is already a handful like this. Twin boys are 10 mo. Can't wait til 4!

 

[rutheydee]

@centerofwealth They're so perfect when they're small. Now they say no to everything, epic meltdowns, they fight with each other. Literally a switch was turned on two months ago after their birthday.

I miss them when they were two

 

[damynghe0021]

@rutheydee Ho boy. Mine are 2 now and still difficult with our 4yo. Daily screaming. Doesn't give me much to look forward to

 

[rutheydee]

@damynghe0021 I hope it's short phase. I get their brains are going through alot right now... but holy shit...

 

[jezmeyah]

@rutheydee The 4yo mark is for sure. I can't even begin to imagine how it will be with twins, and I've done this twice already! We will all pull through I'm sure... I think? I hope!

 

[rutheydee]

@jezmeyah I dunno man, they're like completely different people.

@rutheydee I have a love hate relationship with the age of 4. I love their budding independence, curiosity, and improved listening skills.
I also sometimes hate their budding independence, curiosity, and listening skills. lol.
Every day is different. We had a great weekend where we played board games, had fun at the library, had a pizza party.
Last week was miserable with unforeseen meltdowns and poor sleep. It’s so unpredictable.

 

[rutheydee]

@amielynn Thankfully sleep is one thing that has always been consistent. They sleep 12 hours a night every night.

@rutheydee Dude our 4 y/o identical boys are insanely challenging right now. I relate completely. They are so willfully defiant to mom and me right now. They’re great at pre-k and for our in home daycare worker, but they’re terrors about half the time. The other half they are so sweet and play with their older sister so nicely, etc. but god it’s a really hard time.
