In my toddlers standards I was unacceptable today.

[BrokeTheToddlersHeart]

Tonight, I was getting my DD1 to sleep and I was absolutely unacceptable in her standards.

I didn't let her poke me in the eye! She had already stolen my glasses off my face so I removed them. She went into absolute melt down. Oh the audacity of wanting to keep my eyes.

Anybody else been utterly unacceptable by their toddlers standards today?

I took the lid off DD2's water bottle that she was trying to drink from while we were out today. It appears she wanted both to drink the water, and leave the lid on the bottle.

It doesn't beat the time a couple of years ago that DD1 had a tantrum because she wanted a third sock on, without it going over either of the two socks she already had, and without taking a sock off. Essentially she tantrummed because she didn't have 3 feet.

DS asked to watch vegesaurs on iplayer. I put vegesaurs on and he completely lost it, crying that he wanted vegesaurs. While vegesaurs was playing.

Later that afternoon he asked for a snack but refused to tell me what he wanted, instead just saying ‘surprise, mummy’. I got him a really nice surprise of a slice of birthday cake and he cried and said ‘no mummy I wanted grapes and raisins’.

Strangely after today, Grapes (in some form) sound like a good idea.

I started dancing to a song my 2 year old had asked Alexa to play. Evidently, the music was only for him to dance to. I sat down, which again was wrong, as he then wanted me to dance. We repeated the scenario x3.

Dd (2) threw a fit at 3 am this morning as she wacked her dad in the face so got put back into her own bed.

She also wasn't allowed to hit the dog or throw shoes at the dog.

We've got a great hitting phase atm 😩

I tried to share my cake with my DS2 at lunch time. Disaster. How dare I.

My toddler threw a wobbly because I wouldn't eat HIS biscuits 😳
Then after eating 1 to placate him, threw an epic meltdown cos he wanted it back & not any of the identical other biscuits in the pack 🤣

Today my 3 yo wanted to get on the buggy board so I stopped and unfolded the buggy board to let him jump on.

I can only assume from the howling lump of child that appeared in front of me that my course of action wasn’t correct 💁

My almost 2yo threw a strop because she asked fora drink but it meant I couldn't stay sitting next to her on the sofa because I needed to go to the kitchen to make it.

Then again when I asked her to stop wiping water from the dogs bowl on her face.

My daughter had a huge tantrum because English books open on the right but Hebrew books open on the left 😑

I refused to let mine have the dog's kibble for supper 🤢

I attempted to go to the toilet alone today. I know, i know. I don't know what I was thinking. Terrible parent, terrible human.

When dd was around 3, she once cried because there was something on her Peppa Pig socks, it was a picture of Peppa Pig. She then sat at one end of the unoccupied sofa, cried because she wanted to sit at the other end and cried even louder when o suggested that she just move to the other end

I still remember these as they were so utterly ridiculous. She's nearly 12 now.

I didn't look at her sock. Then I looked at her sock wrong. Then I kept looking at her her sock.

OH got in serious trouble for giving her the wrong (IMAGINARY!!!) fork 3 times!! First it was a spoon, then it was wood not plastic, then it was purple not blue.

Today my 2 year old had a screaming fit in the back of the car for about 15 minutes because I wouldn't "turn left at the roundabout" he's become obsessed with the sat nav lately and repeats things. I made the mistake of saying "no we're not going that way"... He doesn't know left and right I should have said yes ok... What a dickhead I am!

Glad it's not just mine today that has decided I am a terrible parent. I had the audacity to change my 2yr old's pooey nappy, which resulted in a mega tantrum. I also made toast with jam as requested but this was unacceptable and the requested toast with jam should have transformed into a yoghurt. Other crimes today include getting the peppa pig nappies from Asda but opening the packet to use them. Little did I know peppa pig nappies are only for looking at and not wearing. Dh also read the requested gingerbread man story but he didn't start the book in the middle and read random pages.

My almost 4 year old told me I wasn't her best friend and she didn't love me because we ran out of grapes. The only reason we ran out was because she had eaten the whole punnet.

🤣
My 11 year old is like this too. Contemplate day drinking on the regular

I asked my 3 year old to put his (red) wellies on before we went out. He demanded yellow wellies instead - unfortunately they belong to his older brother and are 4 sizes bigger. He put his brother's ones on, tripped over in them then had a massive face down screaming fit that he couldn't walk in them.

My nephew also kicked off today because he opened an ice lolly and the stick was the wrong colour.

It makes me so happy to know I'm not alone

I wouldn't let my 20 month old get into the fountain at the shopping centre 🫠🫠

I took her oat bar out of the wrapper to give to her. She wanted to eat it through the wrapper

The cat was in her seat

My 16 month old wanted to go down a fireman's pole at the park.

My 2 year old lay on the floor in Morrisons screaming because I moved the basket of items she was scanning from the floor to the designated basket area of the self scan checkout.

Everybody stared.

The next day we were making little cupcakes and she said "all done" and got down, started taking apron off. She had only filled 3 of the 12 cupcake cases with mixture so I proceed to fill some of the others. This was unacceptable to her. Crying on floor again.

My boys werent like this. Little girls are ... different 😂

I didn't put dd's lunch in the yellow lunchbox (she doesn't have a yellow lunchbox!)

I put her socks on the wrong feet.

I wouldn't let her drink out of the cats water bowl.

Her biscuit was too round
