I don’t understand how a mom could consider her child an asshole. Calling someone that implies that the suspect individual has some degree/ability of judgement and is making decisions which seriously conflict with that of the name caller. A three year old is not capable of making decisions which, if bad, would warrant that label.
Frustration is one thing, but using that term for a three year old implies that the parent has unrealistic expectations, very high standards that the child cannot achieve, or is used to an abusive relationship and is using the child as a whipping post. Three year olds need to make bad decisions, that’s one way they learn. But that the parent feels the need to call their three year old child an asshole, tells me that this kid will be seeking lots of therapy when older.

How old is littlelegion? I think you can probably take him. In fact, I’ll put money on it if my bookie (M4L) can give the odds.
Hey assholes…she only calls her son an asshole on the blog, not to his face. We’ve already established that.
Could be the parent is just trying to be funny…

Many of you are assholes now in later life so, if you’re parents called you that, they had great foresight.
I thought my name was “stupid bastard” until I was 8.
“all Park Slope kids can read by 3 years old, asshole”
But older folks from CG can’t evidently 😉
Wasn’t saying the kid could not read, just that I presume he does not read his mom’s blog.
