9. Winter Is Coming
They have more attitude built into them than a regular teenager and they'll have you wondering where they got it from.

The attitude that comes with having a 3-year-old is unmatched. They really are ruthless.
11. Bend The Knee
Bend the knee, NOW. They really do make it impossible, don't they?
12. Watch Me
When you tell them not to do something, they're a thousand times more likely to do it. Try reverse psychology maybe?

Nobody runs faster than a toddler with something in their mouth when you ask them what they have in their mouth.
14. Peace Be With You
We're all fighting the same fight. Moms need to stick together if we're going to survive.

There's no experience more humbling than being alone with your toddler for an extended amount of time. You just crave real human interaction with someone who won't scream at you for cutting their sandwich in a triangle instead of rectangles.
16. Definition of Toxic
Nobody loves you like your toddler loves you. But at the same time, nobody stresses you out like your toddler stresses you out.
17. That's A Cage
I mean, I don't really see anything wrong with it. It's for their own safety. And your own sanity.
18. The Iron Grip
There is literally nothing more difficult than trying to get your toddler to losen their iron grim on whatever it is they're holding. It's a truly humbling experience.
19. Wakey, Wakey
They just love to invade your personal space. But why RIGHT in the morning before your eyes are even open?
20. I Imagine This
How do they get those family photos, anyway? I'd really like to know.
21. This Is How It Feels
There is literally nothing more tiring than chasing around a toddler all day. They'll have you exhausted and ready for bed before supper.
22. The Art of Being Cute
A skill most people have trouble developing.
23. How Dare You?
Don't give them what they want, you might not live through it. Give them what they want, and you still might not live through it.
24. Time Out
They just don't get it. Make sure to use small sentences.
25. Chicken Nuggets
Eat your gosh darn chicken nuggets before you say another word, little one.
26. You Wouldn't Get It
I mean, they're right. I wouldn't get it. That doesn't stop me from being curious though.

I don't know how many more times I can watch my toddler do the same dance routine or karate moves before I rot away sitting here.

29. No More Paw Patrol
Just say no. No more Paw Patrol. You are in control.

Why is their first instinct to scream at the top of their lungs when they don't get their way? What if everyone started doing that?

I mean, they're not using their hands. But this is just so much worse. Put your tongue back in your mouth you disgusting little creature.
32. Never Too Old For The Slide
Can't say no, can you? No you're stuck on the slide.

Again, they just love to do what you tell them NOT to do. They get a kick out of it or something. I don't get it.

I mean, I'd be pretty upset too. Imagine getting a brown plate when all you wanted was blue. Doesn't have the same effect.
35. Let Me Show You What It's Like
This. This is what it's like. If you don't want to know, then don't ask.
36. Big Mistake
The key is to wait for them to go to bed... or send them to grandma's house. Otherwise, what's yours is also theirs. I don't make the rules.
37. No Peace
Relaxation? Nooooo, not with your two year old around. They don't know the concept.
38. Permanently Grumpy
Nobody is grumpier than a toddler who just woke up. They really are not morning people, huh?
39. Very Sad
Not to say I told you so, but I did. Next time you might want to listen to the grown-up.
40. Public Temper Tantrum
Nightmare is correct. You're left carrying your child out of the supermarket upside down while apologizing to everyone you encounter on the way out.
