I am regularly abused by Thing 3. He likes to randomly jump on me, bop me on the head, and generally use me as his personal jungle gym. Lately, he has become very bossy with his newly emerging ability to talk.
“Daddy, sit”, “Daddy read book”, and my personal favorite “On Daddy head” which means put this on your head.
I suppose I bring this on myself because I put things on my head to entertain him.
This hard to see, grainy image is not a captured terrorist. It is me being held captive by a 2 year old so he can jump on, climb on, and torture me by hitting my head with books, toys, and various stuffed animals. And I love every minute of it.
I hear you. I get “go away,” and then if I’m lucky “go away, please,” because of course courtesy is important. Also, “you’re not sleepy, get up!” is popular too.
Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. Please know, a parent cannot “bring this on myself.” You are not to blame for the cruelty of others. There are agencies in your area that can help, even get you to a safe house — where there are no children — if you are ready.
Really?! Where can I sign up?
It’s all fun and games until he learns “Daddy! Waterboard” :)
every single post abt ur thing 3 , reminds me of my daughter ! in fact I have contacted her teacher abt this ,feeling she probably needs evaluation :)
Plus she is extremly anxiety prone , she won’t sit in her car seat sometimes..She even ‘abuses’ her dad the exact same way :)
