If the Terrible Twos are not enough, the Terrifying Threes can really drive you utterly, completely insane.

Linn not only defies all rules and instructions, she also doesn’t seem to care about the consequences. When she is told that she need to put on more clothes to keep warm, her answer is that she wants to be cold.

When I lose my patience and started shouting at her, she told me that ‘I cannot hear you’. She then tells me sweetly that she doesn’t like to be shouted at. If I want to talk to her, I will need to speak to her softly and slowly. Giving her a good spanking will be out of the question in Sweden.

I must say that she has adopted a very good selective hearing technique at her age. Now, I wonder where did she get that from 😉
