Repeat several hundred times.
Pause and breathe.
Repeat several hundred times more.
Then regroup, try to focus, and try yet again to communicate with said female child.
I know she's stubborn. I know she gets completely absorbed in whatever she's doing at that particular moment in time. I know she's hard headed.
What I CANNOT stand is talking to her, seeing her eyes wander off, asking her what I JUST said, only to hear 'I don't know mommy.' It is infuriating.
It gets even better when she gets mad about something, starts screaming bloody murder, and I can't get her to calm down to even LISTEN to reason.
I find myself losing my temper. Getting very angry with her. Wishing I could stop the screaming - get her to reason - reminding myself that reason and accountability don't exist in the world of A.
Everyone told me 'threes are the new twos - but once your kid reaches four it's like an epiphany and they become lovely.'
If that's the case, September 21 should be the magical day.
I'm not holding my breath.
