AIBU?

AIBU From the POV of a year old

Prompted by my 5 year old having a meltdown because I wouldn't let her have sweets at bed time. Said sweets were given to her by a Birthday child at school today, but she forgot about them until bed time.
Apparently I am BVU not to let her have them.

My humans are the most unreasonable humans in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD cos they will not let me keep mice in my kitchen. How blinking unreasonable is that? Just because THEY don't eat mice. But I let them store horrible food such as veggies and fruit in there , so I really think I should be allowed to keep some mice in my kitchen, don't you? They know I don't like getting wet, so it is very unreasonable of them to tell me to go outside when it is pouring if I want to catch something when I could simply chase one around the kitchen instead.

She made me walk, I mean honestly what is she for if not to carry me? She kept going on about the babies in her belly and not being able to carry me, it's ok though eventually after a good 30 minute tantruming she gave in and carried me back to the car!

Would you believe it ? Mummy wants me to change out of my Halloweeen costume that I have out on for my party at 4pm. Apparently she wants us to go out somewhere first and she won't let me where my costume.

Well I don't want to go out and I don't want to change. Huh. Stamp stamp stamp.

Mummy wouldn't let me carry my sister's breakable toy all the way home, and then when I screamed at the TOP OF MY LUNGS on the bus she told me that tantrums didn't work and she STILL didn't give it to me! Even when I screamed all the way home on the tube. And THEN she had the gall to tell me she couldn't fix my broken cracker. Can you even believe it ?!

My Mammy is being uncredibly unreasonable. I'm nearly 2, surely I'm old enough now to climb up furniture and dance on the window sill? Yet she keeps dragging me off and telling me to get down and stay down. between this and not understanding that books are a good snack I've had enough!

I have a 14mo Jack Russell and we both think that the other is VU most of the time. He wants to play every waking minute of the day and thinks it's VVU that I have other things to do that don't involve throwing balls and rope and teddies for him to chase. I (stupidly) let him sleep in our bed but this means that I wake up to a cold, wet nose snuffling noisily at my hair, ears, eyes and mouth at all hours of the night and if I dare to open my eyes, he appears on my chest with a bit of rope in his mouth - because 3am is play time, don't you know! Hmm

My mummy is unreasonable for MAKING me have an afternoon nap against my will. I'm not tired at all, I've been demonstrating how not tired I am by following her around the house whinging and throwing tantrums and hitting the dog, and saying "No no no no no no no!"
when she suggested I might be tired. I'm so absolutely not tired that I'm going to hit my teddies and bang the bars of my cot and shout "Mummy! Juice! Mummy! Poo! Mummy! Book!" until the fool comes to get me, I'm never going to sleep ever ever ever..... Zzzzzzzzz.

proud YANBU. I mean, the fuss the grown ups make when we get wee or poo in the toilet, you'd think they'd be really excited when we get something good in there! I must give a toothbrush a try sometime, so far my fave was putting my baby in, she looked like she was having fun paddling with her feet in the water. Word of caution though- don't put your dummy in there else you might find it ends up in the bin.

AIBU to think I should be able to throw anything I like down the toilet? DB's toys make a nice splash and toothbrushes look funny in there.

It was a great place to get rid of that horrible plastic shark that I'd had enough of playing with. Mummy said the bathroom smelled and got a man to take the toilet apart and find the shark. She was very cross and said she had had to fork out £90. I wonder what sort of splash a fork and £90 would make.

Well the Wicked Mother Human is bVVU. She bought a brand new sack of delicious lamb flavoured biscuits yesterday and only gave us a bowlful each. Then she told us off every time we tried to get anywhere near the rest of the sack.

Oh...what a fun thread...I am a nanny to a 2 1/2 year old who melts my heart...(had him from a few months and I love him and he loves me) But yesterday....Oh my... every word was no, Don't want to...every thing was a struggle...in car seat, nappy change...But he's soooo sweet I will forgive him anything...and the fact that I returned him to his parents and went home to my empty nest house! There is a reason that nature made toddlers sooo cute! I just remembered all the struggling yesterday and realize why my arms ache so much today!!

The human is BVU - when I ask for food it should be obvious that I don't want whatever food she puts down. Even if it's the same food I ate yesterday, today it is wrong. She should know that I like whatever food is the most expensive but then it's my prerogative to change my mind suddenly and decide I don't like that food anymore. 5 minutes after asking food I should be allowed to walk away from the food she's just put down because I've changed my mind about wanting food.

Human - give me food NOW!

My mummy is being VU not allowing me to use her as a bed Angry I don't want to sleep in my cot, I don't want to be cuddled, I want her to lay down so I can curl up on her back like a cat. Why is that so difficult to understand Hmm

And no doubt she will make me eat my toast instead of her toast for breakfast. I despair.

AIBU to think that cat food should not be just for the cat? It tastes better than some of the stuff mummy tries to get me to eat.

My mummy is beyond unreasonable. Why can't she understand that the ONLY places I like to sit are high up places, like the coffee table, the top of the stairs, the dining table, and precariously balanced on the chest of drawers? She keeps barricading everything fun and insists that my newfound climbing skills are thwarted at every turn.

Also, her hair seems to be turning grey.

From an hour ago:
AIBU to think that even though I love my Granny I don't have to go to sleep for her? She loves me very much and always enjoys watching me run around like a loon play with my toys until Mummy comes home from a rare night out..
Also AIBU to rugby tackle Mummy when she walks through the door and insist that she cuddles me until I fall asleep because I missed her?

I was out for 2 hours....

I can beat you all! Last night I was given ten minutes to choose the car I wanted to take to bed. Ten measly minutes in which to select a toy car to sleep with for the night. And I was only reminded 14 times. When the ten minutes were up and I was still staring into space with no car selected my cruel parents put me to bed without one despite my protestations.

Further training on correct procedures is clearly required here. That and perhaps some patience on their part?

AIBU to think my auntie is a mean spoilsport.

I was quite happily exploring the cat flap with my fingers and mean old auntie pulled me away so I grabbed a nice colourful pair of scissors and she took those off me. It's not fair that grown ups get to play with scissors and all I get is the contents of the toy box.
