What's your toddler mad at you about today?

[MollieSheep1]

3yo DS asked for an apple to eat, rolled said apple on the floor and threw it around the room. Now rolling around on the floor himself over confiscated apple that he 'wants to eat'. Give me strength!

@ChittyBangs

He was singing a song, I tried to join in.

Do we have the same child??

P. S. Not only will my toddler not let me join in a song, but she won't let me sing at all. And honestly, I'm quite a good singer...

On another note, my baby (13 months, so classes as a toddler too) likes to scratch the same freckle on my chest over and over until it bleeds when he's nursing/cuddling, and then he scratches the scab etc, in a never ending cycle. If I move his hand away, he growls/shrieks and hits me. It's a constant battle.

DGS fuming this morning because mummy put too much water on his toothbrush.

His day didn't improve when she then took him to nursery

I wouldn't let him get out of his pushchair and walk because it was pelting down with rain and we needed to get home asap before we got soaked so he howled all the way home.

@Somethingsnappy - you have my full sympathy re your baby, but I'm glad my dd is not the only one who does this. I had one scab on my wrist, I now have five. At least the ones on my upper arm and chest have healed. DP's one had healed.....

Mine had a fit because I wouldn't let him take the stones off the fireplace and eat them. He's literally just turned 1. It's not going to get any better is it 😭

Told dd we needed to get her dressed and she stared at me and shouted angrily "I don't want to wear that top"

I wasn't even holding a top

DD is nearly 5. It doesn't get better. She fell out with me today because Elsa didn't put make up on her at her birthday party (last April).

This morning I got yelled at for describing the figure skating we were watching on replay as “ice dancing”. She couldn’t say what it was, but she was very confident it wasn’t that.

My two year old was very angry that I said “yeah.” Apparently “yes” was the only acceptable reply.

Currently sobbing in her cot because she wants cheese and crackers before bed. Or a wee. Or anything else which might extend her bedtime past 9pm. It’s meant to be 7pm. Earlier she was furious because she wanted a toy which needed a wash. Poor lamb - she just needs a few more parents to cater to her! 😀

Often food related here. The other day I wouldn't let her have the raw chicken I was making Fajitas with, most days of the week I have to deny her crisps for breakfast even if she manages to make off with a bag from the cupboard, today I wouldn't let her stick in hand into the hot slow cooker full of bolognaise...

Being asked to get up in the morning, being asked to go to bed in the evening. Same 2 complaints every day I can relate to the morning one..

Because she doesn't have tights like the other girls at nursery do. She has leggings under her dresses instead. This is apparently reason for a complete and utter meltdown.
I will take her shopping for a pair of tights just so she can see how annoying they are when they start slipping down.
I give it a day before she wants her leggings back

My not-a-toddler anymore 4 year old DD raged at me today because i told her a 'mooner' is actually called an astronaut. She was furious and demands to be a 'mooner' when she's grown up. She only wants to visit the moon so thinks a specific job title for this is sufficient

Me putting a cushion on my own lap makes her furious. Absolutely livid. Likewise, me curling my legs up beneath me or lying with my legs stretched out on the couch. Even worse is actually lying on the couch - that is not allowed.

The word no is now the answer to every single question. Even nice things that she would like. We're doing the double negative thing which Michael MacIntyre joked about in a sketch at the moment.

I wouldn't let her open and eat a dog treat sample which had come through the post. We had a chat about it being for the Doggy and looked at the picture of a dog on it but regardless, she was trying to rip it open with her teeth. I hid it in the end.

She's almost 2.

Because I gave her the cup that she had literally just asked for. Also for trying to help her get dressed and for sitting her baby sister too close to her

Not mad at me as such, but my 4yo was eying up a toy in the supermarket today and I suggested that we put it on his birthday list. He agreed to do this and then said hopefully, "That's tomorrow, right? After the next sleep." When I gently explained that he might have to wait a little longer (9 months or so!), he lay down on the floor and said sadly, "I'm NEVER going to have another birthday, am I? I'm never going to be 5!" .

Mine is like this! Takes after mummy

I wouldn’t let her climb in the freezer and/or lick the frozen salmon fillet like a lollipop.

Generally my attempts to stop her from injuring herself meet with fury.

Last week it was because she didn’t want her dinner, so we got her down from high chair where she lay screaming face down on the floor for ten minutes before demanding her dinner again, only we weren’t allowed to talk or even look at her whilst she was eating it. Her dad made the mistake of saying ‘this is nice’ about his own dinner which set the whole thing off again.

Oh and I’m currently listening to her insisting to DH that her shoes are ‘wet wet WET’ and the fool is disagreeing with her and saying they’re not wet - he’s not learned that sometimes it’s easier to agree yet.

It's not even 10am and DD is furious that I took her leftover banana from her when she was the one that had a tantrum to take it from her in the first place.
