Funniest/daftest festive meltdowns?

[PaperDreamsHoney]

Not sure if it's all the excitement or because we've all been ill, but DS(3) has been doing a cracking line in freaking out over strange things this week.

Last night he got very upset because he didn't want to eat carrots, which woud have made sense were it not for the fact that no one was actually offering him carrots.

This morning was probably my favourite so far - OH oiled a squeaky door hinge and DS was most upset that "Daddy took the squeak away" and wanted him to "put it back".

Anyone else?

My 6yo got slightly upset on our skiing holiday because

• we didn't have a carrot for a snowman
• it was the wrong type of snow for snowmen

My 13yo son got really angry when I told him not to use his fingers eating his Christmas dinner - he was shouting that he has literally never seen anyone eat a Yorkshire pudding with a knife and fork and it is impossible!

My two year old nephew was adamant he didn’t want a lemon for Christmas. No one was offering him a lemon, lemons had not been mentioned, we were not preaparing food involving lemons.

“No lemon for istmas, noooooooo, no Auntie Green no lemons”

My dd asked for vouchers (so she can get a bigger pressie when put together with vouchers from others too) then had a meltdown as she didn't get a big present too! Spent a good hour explaining to her that, she had asked for the vouchers no matter how many times I asked if she was sure and that her sister had the same amount spent but had chosen a present she wanted rather than vouchers and that's why she had one more present!

Im sorry I have to agree with him about the pudding, I always use my hands for them. In fact I usually fill mine like a sandwhich fold it over and eat it by hand, I cant remember anyone I know using a knife and fork unless they are tiny little puddings soaked in gravy. Most people I know pick it up and dip it in their gravy.

First tantrum I had was that that a 5 year old wanted to keep a faulty toy, rather than have me return it and get it replaced because he didn't want the light to go out, regardless of the fact the main function didn't work, the light was still pretty.

The other was the fact that the 2 year old wanted to have the same tubes up her nose that her 10 year old cousin who is on oxygen had, becauae she wanted to see the snot go up and down the tubes when she breathed. Poor 10 year old spent the whole afternoon checking whether she had snot blocking her tubes, because ahe couldn't underatand what had given her cousin the idea.

The stupidest was an adult who bought her mother in law Avon eye make up which she knew she was allergic too, which would cause her eyes to swell up like balloons, which she has seen before. Then proceeded to tell her "I know you dont normally use it because of your allergies but its such a lovely colour, it wont harm to try it" then kicked off and storms out screaming how ungrateful MIL was because she wouldn't try the make up there and then and that it was just because she bought it and she couks have at keast pretended to like it. May I point out MIL had amikes politeky upon opening it, hadnt mentioned hee allergies, assumed DIL has forgotten ans said thanks. It was actually DIL who brought up MIL allergies and aakes her to try it there n then.

I have never seen anybody do that!

Similar to @Greenandcabbagelooking My nephew was sobbing to me that he didn’t want any cheese. I was not offering him cheese, there was no cheese, there wasn’t even any food in sight.

Neither have I, @TheNameGames! My children always used a knife and fork to eat their Yorkshire’s - frankly, if you can cut up meat, you can cut up a Yorkshire pudding.

I eat my Yorkshire puddings with my hands too, dipping them in the gravy
