As a 21-year-old mother of three, I, Y/n Agreste, know that parenting is never an easy task. But today, I am faced with a unique challenge: dealing with a sassy and rude 3-year-old Mia, who is having a major meltdown.

"Mia, what's wrong? Why are you being so sassy and rude today?" I ask her as she throws herself on the floor, kicking and screaming.

"I want juice box! Pick me up!" she demands, her little face turning red with anger.

"Mia, I can't right now. I'm trying to cook dinner for the family," I explain, trying to stay calm and patient.

But Mia is not having it. She starts throwing a tantrum, throwing her tablet across the room. I sigh, knowing that I need backup.

"Adrien, can you please help me out here?" I call out to my husband, who is thankfully nearby.

Adrien, being the amazing father and husband that he is, swoops in and scoops up Mia, trying to soothe her and calm her down.

As I continue to cook dinner, I can't help but think about how much Mia has changed since we had the twins, Charlie and Chandler, 6 months ago. She used to be such a sweet and easy-going toddler, but now she's acting out and testing her limits.

But despite the challenges, I am grateful for the love and joy that Mia, Charlie, and Chandler bring into our lives. They are the light of our world, even on the toughest days.

I glance over at Mia, who is now snuggled up in Adrien's arms, her anger dissipating. She may be sassy and rude at times, but she is still my little girl, and I love her more than anything.

"Mia, I know today has been tough, but I'm here for you, okay? We all are," I say, as I walk over and give her a kiss on the forehead.

She looks up at me with her bright green eyes, the same color as Adrien's, and gives me a small smile.

"I love you, Mia," I tell her, as I hug her tight.

"I love you too, mommy," she replies, her voice still tinged with a little bit of sass.

And in that moment, I know that everything will be okay. Because no matter how sassy and rude Mia may be, she is still my little girl, and I will always love her.
