How Well-behaved is Your Three-year-old?

Being a parent takes alot of work and patience, especially for the parent of a three-year-old. Take this quiz to find out how you're doing with your child in this trying phase.

I really did try to put some humor into this. So, if all the worst possible answers seem like a reality in your home, GET HELP! This is my first real attempt at writing a quiz, so be sure to rate it and maybe cut me some slack!

Under 18 Years Old
18 to 24 Years Old
25 to 30 Years Old
31 to 40 Years Old

3. You awake in the morning to:
... your child peering into your face to see if you're awake yet.
... the sound of a rattling bag of chips or some other snack being opened.
... your TV blaring because your child just found the volume button.
... the sound of a Tonka Truck crashing out of your child's bedroom window.
4. After breakfast, how do you clean up the kitchen?
Child takes plate to sink, wipes his place at the table, you sweep up and rinse dishes.
Child leaves as quickly as possible, you pick up dishes, wipe table, sweep floor, rinse dishes.
You help your child change his/her messy clothes, wash food out of his/her/your hair, get ladder to wipe grits off of ceiling.
It's futile to clean anything -- it will just be the same after every meal for the next two years, anyway.
5. When he/she sees your child coming his way, your pet:
... stands or sits calmly, perhaps hoping to play a bit.
... waits by the door, hoping you'll let him outside very soon.
... hides under chair or other furniture.
... tears screen out of window or crashes through front door to get away.
I don't have any pets, the kid is enough of an animal.
I don't hve any pets.
6. You suddenly feel something wet on your foot.
My baby is so thoughtful, he thinks he saw something that needs to be cleaned and brought me a wet washcloth.
My child is still learning to hold a big boy / big girl cup properly.
Ooops, we forgot where to potty!
I thought I told him/her to STOP spitting about ten times already.
7. You think you smell something burning.
It's just cigarette smoke -- mine, not my child's.
Did I leave something on the stove??
Uh, oh, my child climbed up to the counter and turned on the toaster. Better see what's in it!
Smell something? How about "Do you hear the cat howling again?" Get the fire extinguisher! Call the vet!
8. When you watch Supernanny on TV you:
... praise your child for being so well-behaved and making you such a happy mommy/daddy.
... explain to your child "See, that's how the Monkey Boy acts. You don't want to be that boy."
... hope to gain some wisdom and good discipline techniques, because you need them.
... weep uncontrollably and have another Bloody Mary.
Supernanny? Is that Superman's babysitter?
9. Your child is:
amazing.
a pretty decent kid most of the time.
good, when he/she isn't doing that thing he/she seems to have to do alot lately.
getting to me. I can't wait until he/she grows out of this phase.
a pain in the butt; I've had it up to here!

a fun target for his/her trucks, dolls, balls, food, etc.
11. When you ask your child to sit and do something quietly, he/she:
... uses your computer to surf PBSkids.org, keeping the volume at a reasonable level.
... gets his/her favorite books/toys and reads/plays, giving you plenty of room to do what you need to do.
... whines for a minute or two, then settles down with a toy and tries to be quiet but can't quite do it.
... sits in your favorite chair and picks his/her nose for a few minutes, then starts running in circles.
... totally ignores you and does whatever he/she feels like it, only at a higher volume than usual.

getting on a stool to peruse whatever you have on your dresser, the kitchen counters, etc.
putting on your makeup/aftershave/jewelry.
the ability to disassemble anything.
throwing things up high enough to land in the halogen lamp so that they catch on fire.

the kiddie pool or other water fun.
chasing the dog around with a stick.
