Hilarious things that cause tantrums.

LaxMOM44

So I have noticed lately that DD will throw a tantrum over the most ridiculous things. So I thought I would share and would love to hear other people's story of unnecessary crankiness.

1) I took a post it note with the grocery list on it, away from her...10 mins of sobbing.

2) the dog wouldn't move....inconsolable until the dog moved.

3) her pants were not a shirt....lay face down on the ground and screamed into the floor for 5 mins straight.

J got upset the other day because it started raining and he didn't want to get wet. But then had a meltdown when we came inside because he didn't want to be inside.

Being a toddler is hard!

Lolalipsy

We have protests of unhappiness and screams when I won't let her play with wires.

@shopgirl921‌ Does it make you cave every time as well? I am in for trouble because this face just melts me every time.

Dd gets mad when she can't climb on the window sill and ottoman.
She gets mad when she closes her bedroom door.
She will cry when Minnie Mouse stops crawling. She hasn't figured out how to push the button on her back yet.

There is other things...
She will throw herself down and whine lol and then peek up every so often to see if we are looking. I try not to laugh

He closed the door to the parlor, and then cried because the door was closed.

The damn door! HC will close the door, but then pitches a fit because he can't get it back open.

Inspired by my breakfast this morning:

When I don't share my bowl of oatmeal (she has her own).

When she finishes BOTH bowls and there is no more oatmeal.

Inspired by playtime:

When her ball rolls between her legs and she can't follow the ball between her legs.

When the music stops.  Ever.

When she has slobbered all over the paper towel cone that I have given her so much that it doesn't hold its shape anymore.

When she's "riding horsey" on my leg and it's over, and I don't immediately start again.

PumpkinAndThePeanut

When her sister takes a toy away.
When I get home from work and I'm not already topless.
When I announce that it's bedtime.
When they can't chew on their books.
When they can't climb on top of the activity table or zany zoo.
When they have to get in their car seats (as soon as they're buckled in and the doors are shut, they're fine).
When Mommy leaves the playroom for any reason.
When they can't get a long sleeved 9 month sized onesie on over their clothes.

pnutg

When I walk out of the room
When I don't let him climb the stairs
When dad walks out the door
When he can't play with my toothbrush
When I say no
When I put the swiffer away
Etc etc etc

We just had a megameltdown because I put the vacuum cleaner away.

emmy236

When we won't let him dive bomb over the back/arms of the couch

When all the grapes are gone

(Where we differ) if any door is open. Any open door is reason for losing shit.

When I don't hand him the top to his fruit/yogurt pouch

When we run out of crackers

When I won't let him run behind the bar in a restaurant.

Excel spreadsheets

When the granola bar wrapper he found under the couch is empty.

When the vacuum is out of the closet or the closet door is ajar and he can see part of the vacuum.

When my hair is up and he can't reach it when he's nursing.

When the sweet potato looks like the peaches and he puts one in his mouth on accident.

When the snack cup is empty.

When I won't let him eat the coin/rock/ feather he found on the sidewalk.

caden1206

Today's example...
When I wouldn't let her eat my deoderant or claw the shit out of my face.

PumpkinAndThePeanut

Thought of another. When I don't hand her two toilet paper squares immediately upon placing her on the potty.

Also, when I place her on the potty.

delino

When the vacuum cord touches her toys...you'd think I ripped the head off her favorite doll.

bumpuser3155624

Vacuum is out/running

Won't let her play with an outlet

Diaper change-every time

jedimindtrick

When I won't let him eat a ball point pen.
When I won't let him eat books.
When I won't let him open a drawer.
When we left the park yesterday.
When he can't have my full glass of water to play with.

@PumpkinAndThePeanut‌ you reminded me that bedtimes are fast becoming an issue. The minute I mention it she asks for Dada. Let the manipulation commence.....

Last night at dinner I wouldn't let her stick her hands in my drink and then I didn't let her have all three forks (one for each of us, but apparently she needed them all).

TheFutureMrs.O

I wouldn't let him smoosh the banana between his hands. Then he ran away with the banana peel which ensued another tantrum when I took it away.
He can't push/pull the coffee table because it is too heavy.
I won't let him unplug the wires on the back of the tv.
I stopped him from splashing his hands in the dog bowl.
He broke the cheap wind up toy by pulling it apart.
I won't let him pull the beer bottles off the bottom shelf of the fridge.
The square peg didn't fit in the star.

DiFazette

When he can't get between me and the cabinet while I'm in the kitchen.
When I won't let him sit in the fridge
When he can't open the door to go outside
When the dog doesn't want her bone
When I won't let him dig into my belly button
When the peaches are gone
When he can't stand on the ipad
When he can't fit his whole hand in his mouth

I'm glad someone else's kid absolutely detests diaper changes. I think it's an "I'm busy doing things, and you are stopping me from doing those things because you're changing my diaper, so I'm going to go BSC on you" mentality

And HC just hates being laid flat for any reason. Probably because, when he is flat, we are either changing him, brushing his teeth, or putting in/taking out his contacts. Which he still pitches a fit over. Part of me is like "Really? We're still doing this? Are you not used to it by now?" But I guess I wouldn't want other people's fingers all in my eyes either.

J has been throwing a fit over the hose lately but I have no idea what the hose did or didn't do. He'll just start screaming and then bite the hose like it did something wrong.

Taking away a cell phone or remote causes a 5 minute tantrum in which ds throws himself on the floor and sobs hysterically.

Boo0512

When I wipe her hands or face off. She literally bites the paper towel and rips it to shreds.

When I change her diaper. She either bites/pinches me or if she can't she'll shove her own hands or toes into her mouth and bite them.

When I won't let her go outside because we just came back into the house.

When I take away anything she shouldn't be eating.

If I don't take the sippy cup from her immediately when she hands it to me it is whipped at the floor.

We're in big trouble with this one.

telicious2

When I put him down bc I need both my hands to do something.

Changing his diaper.

Taking something away he should not have.

Lolalipsy

We had a tantrum today because I wouldn't let her throw herself in the duck pond! I am soooooo unreasonable.

@lolalipsy - we have the same face too!   We call it piggy face.   I was worried he picked it up from me.   Maybe it is a universal toddler face.

coffeeandbooks

1. When we have to the leave the park...the pool...the library, etc., etc.
2. pretty much for every car ride over 25 minutes.
3. and for not retrieving what he has just thrown over the balcony

bumpuser3155624

Tonight it was when the babysitter came.

When we put her down(not holding her).

I cleaned the boogers out of her nose after daycare.

MAdams728

We cant read two books at the same time. It infuriates her.

Goldfish are not served at every meal. It makes her hate life.

Epic meltdowns when I only let her ring the doorbell once every time we come in through the front door.

LaxMOM44

Today random displays of tantrum:

She put both legs into one pant leg and then couldn't pull her pants up.

I wouldn't give her the hand held interac machine I was using to pay for groceries.

The banana peel didn't taste like a banana.

telicious2

Oh my goodness... Biggest tantrum ever tonight.

DS was heading up the stairs bc the gate was open so DH grabbed and he started screaming and wanting me. We go upstairs for bedtime routine. He screamed during diaper change and after when I picked him up. So I put him down and walked away. He carried on for at least 10 mins. Offering him his toothbrush after he was calm was a no no as well.

I am exhausted from watching him carry on.

I handed her a piece of my granola bar and she threw a fit because she wanted to get the piece herself..so i let her and she crumbles it and puts in her mouth and then spit it on the floor. That was my last granola bar lol and my lunch.
