Tantrums

MsAmeera25 · February 2014

So when can we officially say they know what they are doing? LO has been "falling" out all week. And for the smallest things. This morning it was because I took his paci away to give him his bottle. Last night he fell out because I took the remote from him. But he is so sweet if i give him the item back. WTH is up with that he is 11 months

We have had this for awhile. This morning she was a real pistol. Tantrum because I took her pjs off, again when I put clothes on, then threw a fit when I wouldn't let her be at the door when I let the dog out...so I gave in...then I got another fit when I moved her away from the door to let the dog in. I was ready to drop her at daycare today.

I think it can start this early. Connor has been testing me for about a month though, but he knows what he is doing too because when I give him a stern look he smiles and hides his face.. that is immediately after he starts screaming when I take something away from him.

Even now, I took away my headphones because he likes to chew them.. he screamed.. I said "Hey stop it" and he looked at me angry and yelled at me lol

OMG this is Ethan all the way. He likes pushing the button on the Xbox and our cable box he only turns it off and when we tell him no he either smiles or ignores us and won't turn around. he runs aways when we start to come get him too.

Today when I told Warner "No no no" when he was playing with electrical wires (Darwin Award), he looked directly at me, grabbed them again and was like "Naw! Naw! Naw!" in what I think was complete mockery. Thankfully though we are not getting tantrums yet... just mischief well beyond his years

DD3 throws her head to the floor (sitting and throws herself forward) if we take an item away from her. In the high chair she throws her head backward if she's not getting what she wants. She's definitely throwing tantrums already.

Haha, I don't know what is up with electronics, but it is like a moth to a flame.

And @Skidderdo I can relate.

-Something on the shelf, he tries to touch it.

"No Connor, don't touch"

-he looks at me, slowly touching it.

"Connor, stop. NO. Touch."

-he gets this whiny tone to his voice and knocks it down off the shelf quickly

I hope this means terrible twos is easier? lol

My DD has been like this for a while. Take anything away she throws a huge fit... even a fuzz ball. Whenever I put the dog dishes up she cries like it's the end of the world. She has also gotten to the point where when I say "no, no, no" she starts crying because she knows she has to stop or I will stop her soon.

Jasmine throws herself backwards,gets angry,fake cries and her new thing is to put her two little fist together and shake while screaming and turning red. She has anger issues she needs to resolve. But in all seriousness she is testing my patience lately. Too early for this!

Zara does this as well. I know she knows what she's doing because she only throws herself backwards when she's on the bed or on something soft - she won't do it when she's on the floor lol

G doesn't throw tantrums but is devilish! We bought a cover for our hearth. Not two minutes after I installed she was biting through it. Every time I told her no or pulled her away she would laugh and go right back at it. If I ignore her...she stops doing it immediately...little lady just wants a reaction out of me!!! The other thing she will do is grab my hair...then pull me in close and bit me...she knows I can't get away b/c she has ahold of my hair. I'm in trouble...

No tantrums but definite meltdowns lately, particularly if I set him down and walk away to, you know, go to the bathroom or something.

JBDamonM · February 2014

We're also not having full on tantrums, but small ones for sure. She's arching her back - which drives me NUTS but she does it over stupid things like diaper changes and bath time, and getting dressed. She's been in a very "off" phase this week, I really hope it's a tooth - otherwise I've got some bigger issues going on with her

THankfully she doesn't get upset when we take things away - but I"m a big believer in taking it a way and replacing it with something else right away.... Perhaps not the best approach.

Dear lord, here too. It is crazy making. I cannot carry this giant baby around all day. Or into the bathroom. I hope this passes soon.

TuckleUp · February 2014

We're in tantrum territory, too. Mainly if I dare to set him down (the nerve) or try to get him into the car seat or try to wash his hands/face.Or if the wind is blowing from the west. Or if it's too sunny out. You get the picture.

@tuckleup and @JSS1002 - I take my LO in the bathroom with me. I sit her down on the floor and it usually keeps things in check. She's not really mobile yet so that could change things, but for now it's a huge help and makes life much easier.

James isn't mobile either. Well, he gets around but not traditional crawling, he's still figuring that out. But bringing him in the bathroom with me is where I draw the line. Nobody ever died from crying for five minutes. ;-)

My kid can pull stuff off the dining room table and he's working on figuring out how to turn a door knob. He's into everything! He's very mobile. If I took him into the bathroom, he'd likely be swinging from the shower curtain before I got my pants down

I do this too. She crawls around or sometimes just sits and stares at me. Its a real good time if the dog follows us in there too.

This is us. He is spending a lot of time in the Ergo in a hip hold. Edited to clarify: But not while I go to the bathroom, obviously!!
