Reasons why my kid is crying

draeray · January 2015

This was posted on my new BMB, but I thought it would be fun here since the board is slow and we all have toddlers having melt downs.

Post your pictures below of your Toddler/baby crying and why.

The most recent one I captured on camera is with the Big Man.

Oh I have a couple.

The first one is because he got a present

The second one I can't remember what caused it. Something about the way DH did something.

No pictures because I don't think there's a memory card big enough to hold all the pictures I would have to take of my kids crying if I had to take a picture each time.

Just between 8am-8:45 we had, among others:

- having to get up (x2 girls, although this was legit because of jet lag. i wanted to cry too.)

- having to get dressed (x2)

- DD1 only getting one piece of toast instead of two (she ate 2 bites of her one piece and then was done)

- DD2 not getting another little orange even though she had already peeled one and hadn't eaten it yet (she loves to peel them)

- getting coats on (x2)

- DD1 having to put shoes on by herself while I got the car out of the garage (she didn't do it)

- saying goodbye at DC / preschool (fair enough - first day back since Dec 12)

Yep, that was in 45 minutes. Please someone tell me this is semi-normal.

Because we don't put Baby Jesus in the bath tub.

Hahaha @kelly321, that's hilarious.
I didn't take a pic, but last night Nicky lost it because I sat on the couch instead of the ottoman.

I don't usually take pics of DD crying, but she often throws a fit when I suggest putting toys away that she's not playing with. She just loves to get something out, play with it for like 1 minute, and then let it lay. But God forbid you ask her to put it away. Then all of a sudden it's her favorite toy in the whole world.

She is also very attached to her sippy cups (?) and when I take her cup to wipe it down after a meal she screams like I've just severed her arm. Yesterday she started fussing when I tried to take it away, so I very calmly told her I needed to clean it and it would only take a minute. She listened quietly to me and as soon as I was done, she shouted "Noooooooo!" and was leaning over the tray of her high chair, stretching as far as she could to try to reach me all the way over at the sink. That was pretty funny.

I don't know how many tantrums in 45 minutes is normal, but one about every 10 minutes is normal around here recently.

We were playing with letters and she handed me one so I used it to make a word.

I opened a new pack of scissors.

I showed her how to use the scissors.

I took the cap off a marker when she requested I do so.

The play food banana does not fit in the play kitchen drawer.

And it was a pretty mild morning.

Here's two. The first is because I left her in the floor and she wanted to roll over. But she wouldn't. And I wouldn't turn her.

The second was a who the F knows why I'm crying pic.

. We have a lot of those pictures.

He is crying because he ttook his gloves off and touched the snow

SummerLove21 · January 2015

No pics of this, but this morning he cried when he was done with breakfast, handed me his bowl and plate, and then I took it to the counter to rinse.

SummerLove21 · January 2015

This was from our family photo shoot about a year ago. I am in the bathtub in an attempt to keep him calm as he was pretty over it by then. As you can see, that didn't really work, but it's kind of a great pic anyways. In fact, it went on our Chrismas card that year.

MalRiggs · January 2015

She asked for Apple sauce. I gave her apple sauce.

TarheelMama202 · January 2015

Dude there are so many, and I feel like this thread is the perfect place to drop a line for The Honest Toddler: A Child's Guide to Parenting. I've read the blog and follow HT on Insta and FB, but I wanted to read the book. My mom got it for me for Christmas. OMG. It is so hilarious. DH and I will laugh until tears roll down our face at it.

Anyways, sorry for the thread hijack. Sort of related.

cinnasugar · January 2015

Hmm, let's see:

I had to change his poopy diaper.

He didn't want to take a bath.

He didn't want to get out of the bath.

He wanted to sit on my lap at dinner instead of in his own seat.

He wanted to get off my lap at dinner.

I could go on and on...

lbonga1 · January 2015

My favorite the other day: I poured her the orange juice that she asked for. Resulted in collapse on the floor crying. No pictures because I was pouring said orange juice.

fignewt74 · January 2015

Because I suggested he eat the ice cream cup that he had been carrying around for 10 minutes (which was starting to melt and drip all over the place.)

mishka29 · January 2015

Haha lots of melt downs over here for silly reasons! Now we ask her if she wants to have some alone time in her tent (from Ikea) usually she'll stop crying right away if not she goes to the tent to finish the tantrum. Once she's done we ask her if she wants to come out and she's happy to come join us again.

Today she was sent to the tent bc she hit DH because she didn't like something. Once she had her cry she went over and said sorry.

Just posted that the paci thread made me feel so much better, but so does this thread! I swear, lately we've been having meltdowns over the silliest things (usually over me doing exactly what she wants!) Glad to see it's not just us

Poppy523 · January 2015

Because I told her to stop banging on the turtle tank at the children's museum because it would wake him up....

Rosebean · January 2015

I have to give him props. He hasn't thrown a full body melt down in a long time. When he is really upset, we ask him if he wants to find a spot to go calm down, then we walk him to the sofa to sit down and he usually pops his thumb in his mouth and quiets. But this morning was an all around unhappy one. I was playing the wrong muppets video, he wanted oatmeal, no wait, a snack. No, a BAR snack. Now he wanted the snack. Then he wanted my oatmeal. Then he wanted an apple. No, fishes in a bowl. Dang it kid! In the end, he just ate all morning. As long as he had food in his hand, we avoided the whinny voice.

ETA: at one point, I said to him "you're driving mama nuts!" And he ran away yelling "mama nuts! Mama nuts!" Lol. Our morning got better after that.

wineandcake · January 2015

We had lots of crying fits over me wearing a housecoat. Multiple times he would pull at it screaming until I took it off and then he was happy. Apparently I'm not allowed to be warm, wearing a t-shirt and pj pants is all I get.
