When I stumbled upon the term “threenager” in a blog, I realized that some people liken 3-year-olds to teenagers. While there might be some truth to that, having a real teenager is an entirely different experience. In my opinion, teenagers are far more daunting than their threenager counterparts. Here’s why:
1. Physical Size
Teenagers are significantly larger, which can be intimidating. A 3-year-old may tug at your knees, but a teenager can loom over you, eyes filled with rage, complete with a face full of angry red blemishes.
2. Voice Change
When they get upset, teenagers no longer express themselves in cute, high-pitched tones. I would chuckle when my little one would say, “I don’t YIKE this!” But when my teenager bellows, “Nothing is going right today!” it’s hard not to feel the walls vibrate with their frustration.
3. Public Meltdowns
If a teenager throws a tantrum in public, the judgment is severe. Society expects them to handle their emotions better. On the other hand, when a threenager is in distress, onlookers often flash sympathetic smiles, as if to say, “We’ve all been there.” But a teenager’s outburst might lead to whispers about juvenile detention.
4. Pricey Demands
While a 3-year-old might beg for a toy, a teenager asks for the latest smartphone. You might think that as kids grow older, expenses will decrease, but that’s far from reality.
5. Insatiable Hunger
Watching a teenager devour an entire pizza is mind-boggling. In contrast, a 3-year-old might nibble on a few snacks. A teenager will ask for more food right after finishing a meal, and when you check the pantry, you’ll be shocked to find it empty—despite just shopping days earlier!
6. Mood Swings
A teenager’s mood can flip on a dime. One moment, they’re laughing, and the next, they’re sulking, lamenting that “their life is over.” Although threenagers can have their ups and downs, it’s less alarming to hear a cute voice declare, “My life is OVER!”
7. Vocal Precision
Teenagers have a broader vocabulary, which can sting. A threenager may call you a “poopy-head,” which is amusing. But a teenager may write a lengthy letter detailing how you’re ruining their existence. And while a 3-year-old will tire out and take a nap, don’t expect your teenager to stop anytime soon; they might still be ranting an hour later.
8. Silence of the Teenager
A threenager is rarely quiet, but when a teenager goes silent, it’s concerning. You might wonder if they’re engaging in risky behaviors. All they’ll say is, “I’m fine.” Meanwhile, a 3-year-old would share every detail of their day, from booger-picking to treasure hunts.
In conclusion, teenagers can be quite the frightful beings. Sometimes, I long for the days when my teenager was a 3-year-old. However, I remember that a 3-year-old needs constant supervision, so I’ll stick with my teenager, even if they can be scary at times.
