I don't think the 3 year old purposely kicked OP out of the bed

13, go read what OP wrote above you. The child is having nightmares, that doesn't make her a brat.

Don't get me wrong, my kid can be a brat, but she didn't kick me out intentionally. She was asleep and moves around a lot. I was the same way as a child. I don't usually let this happen, but when she's screaming in terror from a nightmare, it's hard not to comfort your own terrified child. Trust me, this was a one time thing.

OP, it sounds like she might be having night terrors, which are worse than nightmares, and she should probably be seen by a doctor. Just a thought.

From a very small child to my late teens I had night terrors and when we finally went to the doctor it turned out I had acid reflux. Or GERD. It was pretty bad and I'm lucky I didn't have ulcers, but to the point, the acid reflux actually is what was causing the night terrors. It was additional to many things though. I was frequently sick and could hardly ride a bus without puking. It's better to get it check out early and treated then later on! So glad we got it fixed I'm never sick anymore!

She goes through phases of having them. It's normal for little kids to have nightmare/terrors. She actually does have GERD 40, so maybe that's why? That's interesting though!

I dunno. 3 year olds can be pretty malicious.

She's only a brat sometimes.

Hi OP, maybe you should get her checked if she's having so many nightmares like this. Don't forget that 3 year old is the BEST age for manipulating. If she knows you're going to comfort her each and every single night, she's going to keep doing it, just so she can sleep with you guys. I would let her cry out a couple nights, if she's still acting like this then I would take her to the doctor to see if there's something else going on. 3 year olds don't have same problems as we do on a daily basis and shouldn't be so scared all the time. just my two cents from what you told us here. Good luck and hope she feels better soon!

Shes only 3...

I understand that she is very young, and every child is different. But when my younger sister was 2-3 years old, she would demand to sleep in my bed almost every night due to night terrors (horrible sleepwalking nightmares). After those mostly passed, my family and I realized that she was now dependent on sleeping in a bed with someone else. It took us months to wean her off of it, and even now she still sometimes tries to sneak into our beds before we go to sleep. It was a tough problem to fix. OP's child probably won't become dependent on sleeping with a parent just from one time, but if the parents let her keep coming in bed, that very well might happen.

Doc, What's that pic of?

65 - Are you sure you really want to know? Its a X-Ray of a coke bottle deep inside someone's pelvis. Guess how it got there???

I got up to pee and when I came back, she had taken over.

The kid's only three, for heaven's sake.

Lmao trust me she's already spoiled! :P
