My 3 year old’s hands have arguments with each other.
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. That is peak performance.
I took mine to her 3 year doctor visit yesterday. I noticed little bruises on her hands and I said, “what happened to your hands. It looks like you’re biting yourself.” She replied, “Sissy bite me.” Which I’ve been putting sissy in timeout for. This looked intentional though. Like she had to be a willing participant.
It hit me that she may be encouraging her sister to bite her until she leaves a mark to get her in trouble, so I decided to watch closer.
Last night I seen her take her sister’s head and move it toward her hand a few times. Finally she latched on hard. “Waaaaa, sissy bite me!”
She wanted her sister’s toy and found a way to get it.
She’s doing evil genius shit lol.
I told her, “She’s not gonna get in trouble if you put your hand in her mouth. You’ll be the one to go to timeout.”
Hopefully that stops it.
For the naysayers; I used to do this as a kid, because there were 6 people (minimum) to say goodnight to, and I was told it was impolite to miss “anyone.” And I’m someone, too.
I’m in my late 30s and every once in a while I’ll say goodnight to whoever is in my room (even if it’s just my cat) and then goodnight to me.
