My son is being vvu

[MistletoeBUTNOwine]

He wants a clothes peg on his finger.
But it's too tight so he wants it off.
Then he cries because he wants it on again. Then he cries because he doesn't.
Repeat.

Mine had an epic tantrum this evening. It began because he wanted to climb into the bath without using his step, but then got stuck, then wanted to climb out again without his step. When I lifted him down he promptly climbed straight back up again and got stuck. He sat straddling the side of the bath and howling for a good ten minutes.

He's three. Free to a good home, if anyone's interested

DD saw a big puddle and wanted to splash, I told her her feet would get wet if she went in (she was wearing sandals), she insisted they wouldn't. She went in. Her feet got wet. She cried.

Ds had a meltdown last week because he wanted to go in the big pool with his sister. But the big pool was too cold. So he wanted to go in the baby pool. But the baby pool wasn't deep enough to bob around in on his armbands. So he wanted to go back in the big pool. But the big pool was too cold. Repeat every day for 7 days. 17 times a day.

Sigh.

I'm not turning your post into some sort of supremacy theme but words matter. It is all we have to go on here. And language like that is divisive.

I told my kids that when the ice cream van played a tune, it meant he had run out of ice cream. It worked for years!

Sorry, copied wrong wording above:

Mine keeps getting upset because he can't cuddle his shadow. I think it's the rejection that's getting to him.

Dd went to a party today and has had cake, chocolates, sweets, squash, yet more cake, and is fumin I said no to going to the ice cream van. She is sat on the doorstep telling all her friends 'mummy is mean' very very loudly.

It was in response to the above that I was commenting about the ice cream van.

No TTWK, I liked it

TTWK

Toddlers ARE the ultimate supremacists, so it is apt...

Ds (3) lay down on the floor and screamed till he was purple because I wouldn't let him fly to New York and watch chuggington live after he saw a clip on YouTube. I ended the tantrum by telling him we could go tomorrow instead and hoping like hell he will forget in the mean time

DS, 17 months, is unhappy with us daily over sticks not being allowed to be brought into the house. Our stick collection at the front door is getting impressive!

We are also the worst parents in the world because yoghurt pots always end up empty, apparently they should magically be never ending. Sigh!

DD wanted to eat a raw egg straight from the chickens, went on and on for days till I said yes.
Never asked again

Right now, an over tired DS who won't go to sleep is cross because he wants baby Olav to have his nappy and babygro on. But also off.
Sheesh. Go to sleep already!

We had a lovely cottage on the beach in the Caribbean when DS2 was 2. He really didn't like the waves and screamed to turn them off every time we opened the patio doors or sat in the wonderful restaurant on the beach.

We went last fen half term though and he loved it!

I think The cuteness is a survival Tactic of the species.
