I’ve heard it said that three is worse than two. I sure hope not! Maybe it’s the amount of sleep I’m getting but my patience is running quite thin during this stage of the game. Tantrums, ‘no Mommy’, constantly completely undressing (including home, the very public Six Flags water pad, and when friends are over) , pushing.
I’ve always known I wasn’t the most patient person and I’m learning how much work I really need! Nap time and bed time are what try my patience the most, so I’ve rearranged their beds so they are as far apart as possible. And as frustrated as I get because I just want them to fall asleep, Holly starts singing “I am a Child of God” and then asks me to sing it. And she asks me at a moment when I’m the most frustrated, but how can I say no to that. Almost every night Jim has to come and wake me up and help me up from off the rug to bring me to bed, only to find myself on that same rug at 2:30 am. One day they will get it, right?
And as much as these two are driving me nuts as of late, I’m filled with lots of love for them too.

I don’t want to scare you, but three is always worse for me! Luckily my twins are almost four because they only survive by the skin of their teeth most days.
They did do the “undressing” thing at two years old too though, and YES, it is maddening and exhausting.
In my experience, three is more mentally exhausting (the sassing and whining–calgon take me AWAY!) and less physically exhausting.
Good luck, you’re doing great. I just part of a book the other day by Sheri Dew and she said nobody is naturally a patient person. It doesn’t come innately, it has to be practiced and learned, and it usually takes our whole lives. It at least made me feel better about my lack thereof :)
You are an amazing mom. It is a rough time right now, but be strong, be consistent, and keep loving them to death. I totally agree with the patients thing. It is rough and I am way less patient then I ever thought I was. Some times I loose it and if I do, I give my self a time out (quiet time in the bedroom) and then I come out and apologize to P. That seems to help me a lot and it actually has ended up helping P understand things too. Good luck and keep doing what you are doing. Because your kids are great and they are so lucky to have you as their mom.
