So pissed off at my almost 3yr old. Right now is one of those hard parenting moments. Let me say this I completely understand she is 2 BUT I know she has a lot of understanding. I have been locked out of my house for over 3hours because my daughter decided she didn't want to go to sleep LIKE MOMMY SAID. So she thought it would be cool to lock the door on me and daddy while we were finishing her brothers changing table. I'm so pissed cause if she would have listen to me when I told her to go to her room and go to sleep she would have never locked us out of the house. I'm so upset I can't even stand to look at her right now. This is really a test of my patience!!!!
Well its a lesson learned for you both. Don't beat yourself up. Just use it as motivation to do better in situations that may be similar. But also remember no matter how smart our children are they are still just kids & will dob things to test mommy & daddy.
I feel bad for being so mean to her cause I know she was scared I could hear it in her voice while she was crying and trying her hardest to stay calm and figure out how to let mommy and daddy back in the house so she wouldn't be alone, but I can't get over the fact that this could have been a lot worse and all she had to do was listen to me the first time I told her to go to sleep😒
Smh . I will make it habit to keep a spare key some where outside for my self when my sons are older. I know some one else who's kid locks them out & thinks it funny but too young to know how to open the door smh
@momofdeuce, no I'm just now making it back inside the house. It was very frustrating but we got her to unlock the back door and let us back in!!
Omg I did this to my mom when I was little and couldn't even unlock the door 😭
My son is Autistic and has a tendency to lock me out and think it's funny or on the opposite end of things he runs away if I don't lock the house up tight when we take naps or wake up on the weekends. It's awful. Wanna talk about a mommy panic moment? Having the apartment complex call you on your day off and tell you your son was by the pool is terrifying. So trust me when I say I got paranoid on lock lol. It's ok though we all have our moments of weakness and panic when our kids don't listen and we get angrier because we know exactly how dangerous what they've done is even if they don't. After the punishments are over just reassure both of you with lots of hugs and kisses. I make sure to tell my son why he can't do what he did over and over so he understands why mommy is so scared and upset. Not that I'm telling you how just another example.
