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?

My son was inexplicably FURIOUS during a short car drive and bellowed:

I DON’T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE LAND ROVERS MUMMY!

I failed to stop people driving their Land Rovers on the day he did not want to see any.

To be fair, I am in my fifties and live in the Cotswolds, and I know exactly how he feels.

Today has been one of them days 🤦🏼‍♀️ i wouldn't let her run into the road this morning on our way to the shop, I then wouldn't let her eat the bird food from the garden and I wouldn't let her drink out of her bubbles- I'm really in the bad books today! She's 18mo and dreading terrible 2's 🤣

When my DD1 was very little, DH was travelling to New Zealand with a professional rugby team as part of the coaching staff. He asked her what she would like him to bring back for her. “A kitten and a rainbow please Daddy.” Poor bugger spent his only day off trying to find a toy kitten and went into a gay souvenir shop, and purchased a rainbow puzzle for her. (Also a postcard with a sparkly kitten AND a rainbow.) When he came home and presented the treasures, she gave him the stink eye and said “No thanks. I wanted real ones.”

That's really sweet though.

I made her have her nappy changed. Think she's moving out tonight.

In case no-ones mentioned it, if you search in Classics for the "cutted up pear" thread you'll be crying with laughter. It's from about 12 years ago.

My DD burst into tears because her bagel broke as she put it into the toaster.

She's 18

That sounds more like the last straw for someone going through a difficult time.

@LylaLee in fairness to her she wasn't feeling well and got lots of tlc. She's laughed about it since.

I told him that giraffes don't lay eggs. Apparently I don't know science and he hates me.

My boys are teens now but I remember when my eldest got very upset with me when he was 3 as I had I lost his friend ‘Carl.’ He didn’t have friend called Carl. It transpired after much wailing and laying on the floor with his head buried in a cushion that ‘Carl’ was the poo I had flushed down the toilet that morning.

I made her have a nap, I wasn't enjoying my glasses being grabbed off my face and being stood on.

I was particularly unacceptable this morning as I refused to give my daughter my triple shot latte.. that I so badly needed after 3 hours of broken sleep.
In addition, because I didn't lace her breakfast cereal with sugar.. I am indeed a cretin.

Mine is 18 months. She threw a cracker a few weeks ago when she stood on a receipt that I’d dropped on the living room floor 🤣 she tantrummed herself under the sofa, long after the receipt was gone, and there was no recovering it, so she had to go to bed an hour early.

I keep hoping it might happen again for an extra hour off..

Omg

Carl

My 15month had a meltdown this morning because I wouldn’t let him play with the garden spade. Full blown throw your self on the ground screaming tantrum then got more angry because I wouldn’t let him bang his head of the ground

DS, age 4 royally kicked off the other day because him and the dog didn’t have the same supper. Screaming, crying, tears streaming. It had already been a long day full of tantrums and I went and made the bloody dog some ham on toast just to shut the toddler up - to his delight the dog naturally loved it and lavished on this bizzare meltdown. I imagine I’d have won worlds worst mummy had I slapped some dog kibble on a plate for him so I picked my battles and so did the dog. (Poor dog did have to wait an hour past usual for his dinner but he did have some toast to see him through 😂)
