So why is YOUR toddler angry at you today?

DS is very cross. Reasons include:
I won't let him eat whole grapes
I wouldn't let him play at driving the car (when the key was in the house)
I let the doctor look at his ears
I wouldn't let him run screaming around the doctors waiting room
I gave him antibiotic
I wouldn't let him fling himself into the duck pond

Believe it or not he is normally a very sunny natured child Hmm

She asked me to take her shoes off and then cried because her shoes weren't on her feet anymore.

It's raining and there are no puddles to jump in yet

She threw her teddy on the floor and then got cross because her teddy was on the floor 🙄

his socks are matching
there isn't any apple tea
the dustman stole our wheelie bin

sorry - I don't have a toddler but DH is very similar

Kbeeb1992 · 18/10/2019 14:59

He couldnt have smarties for breakfast!

subwaysaladfan · 18/10/2019 14:59

I won't let her fly off the table 🙄

user1483387154 · 18/10/2019 15:01

I picked him up from kg in mamas car (new last year) rather than the work car .. same brand but 25 yrs older!!! hysterical crying for 20 mins

kennysdead · 18/10/2019 15:03

He couldn't lick his bum like the cats do

MissisBee · 18/10/2019 15:04

I wouldn't let him run into the road

GinNotGym19 · 18/10/2019 15:08

Yesterday mine was furious because I wouldn’t let him wear my boots out the house, then he was furious I wouldn’t let him take them with him anyway
Today, I put breakfast on the high chair tray, rage inducing!

yawnhedehihi · 18/10/2019 15:10

I wouldn't buy her another Micky mouse teddy that she soooooo needed.

HopefulButScared · 18/10/2019 15:14

I didn't realise he wanted me to hold his hand and watch him poo because "his poos like me"...Hmm

Amimissingsomethinghere · 18/10/2019 15:18

When he tried to sleep on the floor Hmm at nap time, I gently showed him to his cot, where he decided to go absolutely bat shit crazy and scream blue murder. Apparently the floor is better... Grin

AlaskanBush · 18/10/2019 15:24

She's cold... but doesn't want her coat on.

tempnamechange98765 · 18/10/2019 15:24

DS is 4 at the end of the year but can I still join?

Thankfully DH did the school run this morning, but I heard him asking DS how his breakfast was to which he got a "hmph" response. So, today, DS is angry because his dad asked him how his breakfast was Grin

SamBeckettslastleap · 18/10/2019 15:26

Because I said she can't go to the sleepover tomorrow because we have a big family party that was arranged months ago (rather than yesterday)
Because I won't let her dip dye her hair green
Because I said hello to a boy in her year when we were in tesco (he is the son of a colleague)
Sorry no toddler but teens are just as irrational, sorry you've got all this to lokk forward to!

ThursdayLastWeek · 18/10/2019 15:28

Mine has been at nursery all day so currently our relationship is 👌🏻

CliffordDanger · 18/10/2019 15:30

I won't let him have a chilli pepper for breakfast

OkayGo · 18/10/2019 15:30

Her hands are dirty...

She made them dirty

BadSun · 18/10/2019 15:33

I wouldn't let him pull my shorts down before we got in the car. Cue massive tantrum all the way home.

Janaih · 18/10/2019 15:34

she couldn't find her red pen.
(she doesn't have a red pen)

Cupcakey · 18/10/2019 15:34

I wouldn't let him take his dumper truck to nap with him...
I took a toy off him while I put his arm in the sleeve of his coat because said toy wouldn't fit up his sleeve.... que backwards flinging and flailing.
There's so much more just from today he's very particular Hmm

spaniorita · 18/10/2019 15:35

Because he wanted slippers on but didn't want to put them on himself or have me put them on him either.

galvantula · 18/10/2019 15:40

I wouldn't let her leave a public toilet with her trousers round her ankles, she felt this would be fine because her big brothers old Spiderman pants looked just like shorts.
