RT scarymommy: 12 Truths About Parenting A Stubborn, Strong-Willed Kid
Do you know what my favorite part of parenthood is? It’s when we get tricked. Like, the minute your kid is potty-trained and you think you’ll get a butt-wiping break, you pop out another baby. Or when you finally get them to eat a vegetable and feel all puffed up with pride, only to find all the peas and carrots crushed up under their highchair.
Maybe you’ve got a kid like this yourself, so you know this world already. But in case you don’t, here’s what parenting a strong-willed child means. 2. It means trying to cope on your worst days by telling yourself over and over that “they’re going to do great things in life!” because strong-willed people are often the most successful.3. It means searching for any reason to praise them because you’re so damn desperate for some positivity in your day.
Your strong-willed child will always be strong-willed, so they’ll always be a challenge. They’ll exhaust you at age 3. And still at 10. And even more as a teenager. There’s no “turning a corner” or “Yay! Things are easier now!” moment coming, so you can stop waiting and hoping for it and just buy more wine instead.
