The endless "why?" Questions have begun, god help me.

[Sparrowlegs248]

How the bloody hell do you deal with it. Cope with it? Not shriek "because I said so!!!!!!"

Dc1 is 4 in a couple of months. What day is it today? Sunday. Why? Because it was saturday yesterday. Why?

Please stop slamming the door. Why? Because it's too noisy and I don't want the door to break. Why? Because then the door wouldn't close properly. Why? Because it would be broken. Why? Argh.

Dc2 is 2 and is quickly picking it up too.

Dc1 is VERY annoying inquisitive and learns things very easily, but Jesus these questions are driving me up the wall!!

I do ask "why do you think its xyz?" But it doesnt always wprk, or i dont always remember to.

"I've already answered that darling, think of a new question please"

Ask a question back. Would you like it if I broke one of your toys? Would you like it if someone was shouting so you couldn’t hear what you wanted to listen to?

This is my 4 year old DD right now.
I just usually say 'because I said so' to most 'why's'...... whilst muttering 'for fucks sake' under my breath 😂😂😂😂

A piece of advice I got given was to think of the 'why' questions as your child trying to have a conversation with you when they don't have the skills to do so and then answering accordingly.

Sometimes it helps makes the questions less annoying....

By DC4 I was very much like a judge on a US crime series "asked and answered, move on now"

Why do you think so? always gets some interesting answers - a lot of the time I'm not sure they are looking for a real answer, just that you, the grown up, has an answer,so you can always make something up

I wouldn't mind so much if they were genuine questions, but sone of them are just ridiculous, and the why to every answer I give. I'm going to try "ask another question." I wonder what the response will be?
