The 'changed my mind' syndrome

rach&jay

Much of the morning went like this -  'Riley do you want more orange juice'? She said no.  Then a few minutes later decides yes, and throws a fit because I don't move fast enough. 

5 minutes later, 'I don't want to eat the broken kiwi, I don't want more kiwi.'  Then a few minutes later throws a fit because she wants more kiwi. 

'Riley put your glasses on'.  She didn't want them on when we were leaving the house, so I put them in my pocket.  She started screaming that she wanted her glasses on but of course now I'm driving and can't get them to her.  The entire ride to DC she threw a fit about her glasses.  I wasn't going to stop to put them on though. 

Do your DCs change their minds alot?  I don't mind it except the fits that go with it?  Am I even explaining myself clearly???

LOL, then maybe its the age.  It must be a game to them... but it drives me crazy most days.

YES!  Drives me batty.  I'm so glad you posted this, it's good to know he's not the only one that does this.

DS does that too! It would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating!

Sounds exactly like Annalise.  I have learned that she'll usually say no followed by yes, so I move very slowly after she says no.  That way the juice would still be out when she changed her mind to yes.

Most definitely!  And he'll not only change his mind but insist that he wants "Something else" as if that's the actual item he wants.  When you say "What else do you want?" His response is: "Yes, something else."  I wish I could get inside the head of my toddler!

My DS does this exact same thing. I've tried to figure out what "something else" means, but I don't think he even knows.
