So we are now a few months into the three year old aka the threenager parenting stage and I have to say….it does have a special combination which makes the threens a particularly delightful challenge as a parent. Let me break it down for you here with a little help from some unlikely suspects whose attributes seem to be embodied in the threenager (or at least mine):
Contents

1. The total CRAZY of the Tazmanian Devil
2. The random musings of a famous philosopher or professor (aka Professor Dumbledore)
3. The madness of Animal from the Muppets
4. Some Jay Z swagger
5. The bumbling lunacy of Basil Fawlty
6. The kamakaze-ness of Charlie Sheen
7. The diva-dom of Mariah Carey
8. The cuteness of an over excited puppy
9. The unrelenting affection of a mad cap Elf
10. The sulkiness of Bart Simpson
A THREENAGER OF COURSE
Worse than a toddler? You decide.
Does this describe your threenager? What other attributes would you add? Come share this could be fun!

[…] 10 things that make up the ridiculousness of a threenager – a laugh out loud post packed full of crazy GIFs which quite frankly, are the only way to convey the bizarre combination of this age! […]
Laughing out so very loud on this one! Living with a threenager myself and couldn’t agree more!!!! Definitely worse than a toddler – much much louder too!!! Here’s my take on the threens (love that phase)

Love these posts!!!!!!!!!! What awaits me in a couple of years – eeek!!! Although I bet it’s impossible not to laugh at them sometimes! xx #coolmumclub
Oh this is my life!! Usually I call her the tiny terrorist, but threenager is mich nicer. She’s absolutely adorable which is possibly the only reason we haven’t sold her yet.
The bumbling lunacy of Basil Faulty! Lol! #coolmumsclub
Also, you might be able to relate to some of this…

I think my 11month old is already there….I’m nervous! #coolmumclub
Ha ha, yes absolutely to all of these! The threenager stage seems long gone, but it’s just around the corner for phase 2!
Thanks for co-hosting #coolmumclub lovely!
Aww, I think you’ve summed it up perfectly here. To be honest I think I’d still take a threenager over a teenager any day!! 🙂 #coolmumclub
Oh my gosh yes yes yes. All of these haha x #coolmumclub
Sounds about right! My boy wasn’t too bad with 3, just odd moments. The Girl however at 11 months cried her eyes out this morning because I wouldn’t let her put her hands in the toilet, she’s going to be fun, I can tell already! #coolmumsclub
Perfect! I snorted my drink out. #coolmumclub
Hehe. Nailed it! This really made me laugh. Sharing! #CoolMumClub
Haven’t got a threenager yet, but reading this I definitely see the shaping’s of one forming. Only 1.5 years (to go). Best get preparing! #coolmumclub
Haha this is so true! #coolmumclub
Oh this stage is going to be a hoot! My LO isn’t two yet and she’s definitely working on some of these already. The Bart Simpson one made me smile – I can see her doing that self-pitying look…. #CoolMumClub
Hahaha so true my son has diva-dom down to a tee. #coolmumclub
Love it! Have forgotten my first threenager, but have two almost two-year-olds who are well on their way to this! #coolmumclub
My boy is 3 and he is definitely following this list! I would also add ‘the ability to answer everything with the word ‘why” .. it drives me mad! Xx #coolmumclub
Ha, this is so funny! I cannot WAIT for us to enter this stage….#coolmumclub
I have a year to go until this stage and I have to say I’m looking forward to it! I love the insanity! #coolmumclubSi
Im not sure who you would chose, but there needs to be a character to represent the total grossness of three year old boys, their obsession with the contents of their nose and other disgusting things (maybe that was just my two)
#coolmumsclub
Oh my I thought this summed up my 1 year old this evening let alone a three year old! #coolmumclub
Spot on!!! #coolmumclub
So glad this made you all chuckle and that combo was pretty spot on! x
You got it! Mine only turned 3 in the last month and she is already displaying diva like emotional meltdowns and hilariously cute ramblings. I have also started to have to make up on the spot terrible answers to questions I didn’t expect to be asked such as why can’t she use tampons like mummy…arrrghhh! #coolmumsclub
