I didn't really know what to put as a title for this, but I wondered if anyone had a child like mine and any ideas of how to tackle it?
My son always makes a big fuss about anything going wrong. He has always been like this. For example, we will both be in the kitchen and suddenly I hear -
Oh nooo! I can't believe that happened!! etc etc. I ask what the issue is and he will have broken an ordinary cheap mug. He does this with everything. Everything is a big deal however tiny and frankly, it is so wearing.
I have tried to talk to him and say he is making a big deal out of nothing and I have tried to ignore it, none of it makes any difference. I am concerned this is just his personality. Sorry, that sounds harsh, and it might sound like a tiny thing, but it does irritate me so much.
Ironically if big things go wrong in his life he underplays them.
