46 Reasons My Three Year Old Might be Freaking Out
December 13, 2012
Some of these are total guesses. Educated guesses, but guesses nonetheless. Seems like it’s hard being a kid.

His sock is on wrong.
His lip tastes salty.
His shirt has a tag on it.
The car seat is weird.
He’s hungry, but can’t remember the word “hungry.”
Someone touched his knee.
He’s not allowed in the oven.
I picked out the wrong pants.
His brother looked at him.
His brother didn’t look at him.
His hair is heavy.
We don’t understand what he said.
He doesn’t want to get out of the car.
He wants to get out of the car by himself.
The iPad has a password.
His sleeve is touching his thumb.
He doesn’t understand how popsicles are made.
The inside of his nose stinks.
Chicken is gross.
A balloon he got six months ago is missing.
A puzzle piece won’t fit in upside down.
I gave him the wrong blue crayon.
The gummi vitamin is too firm.
Netflix is slow.
He jumped off the sofa and we weren’t watching.
He’s not allowed to touch fire.
Everything is wrong with his coat.
There’s a dog within a 70 mile radius.
A shoe should fit either foot.
I asked him a question.
His brother is talking.
He can’t lift a pumpkin.
He can’t have my keys.
The cat is in his way.
The cat won’t let him touch its eyeball.
The inside of his cheek feels rough.
Things take too long to cook.
He has too much food in his mouth.
He sneezed.
He doesn’t know how to type.
The DustBuster is going to eat him.
His mom is taking a shower.
Someone knocked over his tower.
He got powdered sugar on his pants.
The yogurt won’t stay on his spoon.
EVERYTHING IS TOO HOT.

lol. yes.

my 3-year-old was having a fit yesterday:
me: what's wrong?
her: i can't draw a turtle!!! [sobs]

MY WIFE IS AMAZING, she delivered him without meds after 20 hours of labor and the little dude is 10 pounds 4 ounces. i had to run home for a lil while to make sure my dogs didnt shit and piss all over the house so her mom and dad are with them right now and that i why i am on ilx.

2nded, childbirthing is incredible

not so good news. p much right after I posted that,mi called my wife and they sent our son to the NICU. it doesn't appear to be anything life threatening or reason for long term concern, but he was breathing rapidly and wasn't oxygenating enough (or something, goddamn I feel like an uneducated hillbilly around dr talk). we're hoping it's just some fluid in the lungs that will clear out soon and we can get out of this goddamn hospital in 48 hours.

fingers crossed for u & yr little guy

thanks :)

he'll be fine! the first days are kinda freaky, and emotionally taxing. but it'll be cool.

yeah, my wife had to stay in the hospital with our girl for a few days when she was first born. I don't even remember why they were there so long. then at about 4 weeks old, they both went back into the hospital for a week due to a fever and virus. it was harrowing to have to go back there, but she was in good hands.

finally home

Anyone else on here living in a 1BR with a kid (I'm guessing not unless there are other NYC ILPers)?

we live in a small 2-bedroom - 2 bedrooms but no dining room/den/much in the way of hallways.

our downstairs neighbors live w 2 kids in a 1BR! they fold out the couch every night to sleep. it's not ideal obviously but the rent is reallly cheap (relatively) and they've gotten pretty used to it.

circumcision successful!

mom says it looks "horrifying"
