to think this is quite possibly the most First-world problem ever in the history of MN?

[Heartbrokenmum73]

We went to the local cake shop on the way home from school earlier. I had coconut cake (yet to eat it so no verdict to deliver, before anyone asks). DS2 had some chocolate crunch. DS1 however, opted for bread and butter pudding because 'he's had it at school and he loves it'. I was a bit but went with it.

He had one bite about an hour ago and declared it to be nothing like the one at school. Could he have something else? So I directed him to the packet of snack Oreo biscuits or the mini packet of Chocolate Animals. Could he have both? No, he had to choose.

Thus ensued a tantrum about how he couldn't choose! Seriously. He got in a temper because he didn't know which one he wanted most.

AIBU to think this is the silliest reason for a tantrum ever? Having a choice of two yummy snacks? Enlighten me with the silliest thing/s your child (or even you!) have ever stropped about.

Disclaimer: I know the tantrum was really because he couldn't have both. He had the Oreo's in the end.

These are hilarious, I had almost forgotten what tantrums were like, it's bringing it all back to me now

When my eldest was 3 he almost brought a small shopping center to a complete standstill, we were getting into the lift and he wanted to push the button, the elderly gentleman who was at the door just pressed it and said it's ok I've done it, well sweet jesus the tantrum that followed was unreal, he went beserk and took a launch at the button pad and smacked the alarm button which stopped the lift, he was still kicking off whilst some person was asking through the intercom what was wrong, when i finally got him to shut up calm down, I explained what happened, it took a while to get the lift moving about 20 mins, longest 20 minutes of my life and the other people who were on the lift, when we finally got out there was a crowd of older people, mums with buggies waiting for the lift, I lost count of the amount of times I apologised..........oh the memory of it, I need a lie down to get over even thinking of it

Don't talk to me mummy!'

And then proceeds to ask me a question which requires me to talk & when I answer his question then the 'dont talk to me' screams start!

My 4 yr old had a wobbler last night because I dared to say "I love you ds".

His cutting response to this was "now NO! Stop it. You say this EVERY day and it is NOT funny and I am NOT laughing!" Accompanied by indignant finger pointing and foot stomping.

4 yr olds are just so charming.

My DS 3 had an almighty tantrum last night because his sister touched his feet. That he had put into her lap. On top of her hands.

My ds 3 woke up the other night crying when I went in to ask him what was wrong he said a dragon had bitten his finger lol

That, MrsMook, was the only information DS vouchsafed in his first term at nursery. That everyone else had a yellow banana and his was old and brown. Everything else was some kind of nursery state secret.

Oh yes. I had the Mother of all Tantrums at 5:50am this morning. Because I was being sooo unreasonable in not letting Ds (4) eat a Cadburys white chocolate button yoghurt at that time in the morning. I keep threatening to send my two to Syria for a week. Where they learn how cushy their life in. Comparison actually is.
