My toddler is crying because....

lindsye · August 2017

-I accidentally called her by her given name instead of Cinderella
-her prince charming hit his head, got lost in the forest and she can't find him (girl you've got YEARS to worry about that one)
-she thinks her poop is ugly and doesn't like the way it looks

Lol good topic idea. My kiddo laid out on the kitchen floor last night like life was over because I wouldn't put her on the counter. Sorry kiddo, you are 40+ lbs now, and my exhausted pregnant self can't haul you around.

DS melted down last night because his juice box was empty. It was empty because he squirted the entire contents on his baby sister when I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready.

2 year olds are lovely...

Dumbgurl04 · August 2017

because I told her she had to eat her dinner before she could go outside.

1fish2fishredfish · August 2017

I hurt his feelings because I put the wrong flavored toothpaste on his toothbrush (it didn't even make it to his mouth).

lindsye · August 2017

@kmalls love it when they directly disobey you, something bad happens to them because of it, and then they get mad at you because it's somehow all your fault. Lovely, lovely little creatures!

Yes that is a very serious offense in our house too. *eyeroll*

sparklingdiamond · August 2017

Because I walked the wrong way around the couch.

sapphires-and-diamonds · August 2017

I told him his "invention" (a bunch of blankets laid strategically on the couch) looked like it could be an awesome boat. This was incorrect, in fact it was a spaceship to go over the moon. Dumb, mom.

Random question ill post here... is anyones kids acting differently now that you are pregnant? my DD has been extra clingy and cuddly lately. I don't mind it, but its just new. Wondering if she senses the pregnancy?

Mine has been extra clingy too, but he also recently started a new preschool, so didn't know if it was because of that.

Mine has become fascinated with the whole pregnancy process and has started singing a song called "mama's got a baby in her belly." I haven't told her, but it's like she knows.

tgortney · August 2017

I took that piece of dangerous plastic trash he was playing with away from him.

I walked away and now he has to walk and follow me

BarefootContessa · August 2017

I wouldn't let her sit in my lap while I drove the car home from daycare.

tgortney · August 2017

Ooh my daily struggle: putting him in the car seat. Tantrum city!

dreinhardt · August 2017

I wouldn't let him play with the syrup bottle during breakfast. Sorry but this mama doesn't have energy to clean that extra mess.

maureenmce · August 2017

I didn't let her play with a tampon* while we interviewed a babysitter.

*Unused and still in the packaging, obvs, but still!

DS was into playing with tampons for a decent clip of time. (also unused, but sometimes not in the packaging).

I love this thread!
Toddler tears today came from not painting the wall and wiping his butt. (He wanted daddy to see his poop before I flushed it and daddy wasn't home)

RosieMommy2016 · August 2017

I put him to bed after he led me to his bed and said "night night".

ashnbubs · August 2017

I love this thread!!!
-because he said he didn't want to eat his carrots (which I knew because he never eats them but I continue to offer) so I took them from his plate and ate one. Meltdown ensued... so I put the carrots back on his plate and the meltdown escalated to some full on exorcist shit.... for 30 mins!
-because I told him to stop hitting the cat with his pizza
-because I left the room when he told me to go away

riversdoctor · August 2017

Because I moved my head to look around him when he wanted to sit on my lap directly in front of my face to watch a movie.

angiek1 · August 2017

Because I wouldn't carry her blanket.

julzy · August 2017

Because I told him he couldn't spit in his hand and wipe it on my face... WHY IS THIS A THING?!

Sissy42 · August 2017

She started crying and now "can't get the waters outta mine eyyyeesss"

OMG this is truly hilarious. Toddler logic FTW!

zombiemom1318 · August 2017

This post makes me laugh!! Toddler age may be full of some irrational tantrums but I think it's a pretty fun age! My son is 3 on the brink of 4 and this past year with him has been hilarious!! The things he says are very entertaining!

sjn00 · August 2017

I put WD40 on her bike to stip it from squeaking. I had to go back and "wipe it off" in order for her to stop.

ngolimento · August 2017

Whelp, my kiddo tried to throw down over having to put on a shirt for bed. Fortunately a good solid tickling made her rethink her bare belly policy.

StephieMK · August 2017

Because she wanted milk *gives her milk*, "NO" she wants "butter" *gives her water*, "NO" "milk" *gives her back the milk*, "NO, butter!" *again with the water* "Miiiilk" I give both cups and she just cries and cries

My son wants to go up on the counter all the time to. Just to look in the cabinets. I'm like sorry I dont feel like standing here for 20 minutes while you ask me what everything is. It's always a meltdown.

Im laughing at every single post because I have been to every single one of them with my 2 year old.

irenejean · August 2017

Because the vacuum (roomba) is off, then after we turn it on, because the vacuum is on.

ekendall09 · August 2017

because middle of the night bloody noses! when will they ever end!!!! (she's gotten them on and off since being a tiny babe)

maureenmce · August 2017

@ekendall09 Oh no, that's awful! I'd cry too! Poor thing. Hopefully she grows out of them soon. Did your doctor have any insight? Or just a bad luck thing?

saisongbird · August 2017

OMG. Because she is telling me a story from two weeks ago (for the 50th time) about how when she stayed with Grandpa he gave her a big open cup and she spilled and got all milky. I wasn't even there!!!

aburke723 · August 2017

I took the package of Finding Dory swim diapers away from her when we got to the check out line to pay for them. Luckily, the cashier was kind enough to give them back to her to hold, so the meltdown didn't last long. Now she's been carrying these swim diapers all around the house.

We can bring her to a nose specialist but the only option they gave us was to coterize the vessels in her nose which I just couldn't put a baby/toddler through. They've lessened a little and she knows when they're coming.

Oddly i know a handful of other moms whose children are prone as well.

lindsye · August 2017

@ekendall09 my 5 year old gets them too. They're pretty infrequent but so unnerving- it always looks like so much blood.

ngolimento · August 2017

Well, now that my toddler is sick, she is crying because:

1) I wiped her nose
2) I gave her juice
3) I put her into PJs
4) I offered her a banana
5) I read the wrong book to her
6) I didn't let her pull the cat's tail

This is all in the space of two hours. Girlfriend gets some serious case of the pissies when she is sick.
