Not a TAAT but inspired by one - why is your toddler crying today?

[Rebeccaslicker]

In the hour or so before I went to work we had:

• nappy came off (or got pulled off ) in bed and she got poo on her hand (to be fair I would cry at that, and in fact nearly did, at 3am)

• she asked for a banana - and was given a banana

• I wouldn't let her play with the purple and green "brish brushes" (aka our toothbrushes)

• DP wouldn't let her put her bear in the bin

• DP's trainers were too big for her just 2 year old feet

• I laughed when she looked up at me and said, "oh god [her name]"

The terrible 2's are so much fun! Anyone else?

Mine had been awake for approximately 5 minutes and calling to me so I went into her room and she hid under the bed. I asked her to come out and she did but looking very sad. She asked if she was in trouble and I said no she wasn't in any trouble and she just dissolved into tears.
She cheered up when I asked her to choose some pants. No idea what that was about but it was too much for me at 5.55am before I'd had any caffeine.

Because I won’t help him destroy my sofa and the cushion he’s trying to pull off is “stuck”.

Oh god. He’s just discovered that the scatter back cushions are easier to throw around than the seat cushions!

Because her shoes fall off her bears feet

He wanted to get down (I was holding him), so I put him on his feet, cue sitting on the floor crying.

DD used to have a tantrum because I wouldn't let her carry the bag of dog poo. She loves hearing that story now.

He couldn’t get his wellies on

He kept missing the door and hitting the frame when throwing the ball through it

Daddy went to the shop

Daddy came back from the shop

I took his wellies off for bed

Because she didn't want to leave nursery and she doesn't like our car.

She cried because I also had the temerity to ask her if she wanted dinner when we got home.

Oh the joy!!

I dive bombed my 20 month old today. She spotted her grandmother's ageing whippet and was dashing over with glee, arms outstretched ready to stroke, yelling GOGGGGGGGGYYYYYYY.... Towards a shitting dog. I lunged with a big Noooooooo and she was properly gutted, dog didn't even notice

We’ve done well today - only one major tantrum (fist pump!)

It was because I held a towel under him, mid-piss, to stop him pissing all over the carpet.

MUMMY BOOTS ON PLEASE. MUMMY BOOTS ON PLEASE. MUMMY BOOTS ON PLEASE. Through huge sobbing tears this morning at 7.30am whilst trying to get both children and myself out of the house for school/nursery/work. I’d forgotten that at 21 months old, you just really don’t understand why there are times when muddy wellies are not appropriate footwear

Should I laugh at MUMMY BOOTS ON PLEASE.? 😂

The 7 year old cried because the 5 year old’s character hit her character in a ps4 game. It doesnt get better.

Cheating because this was yesterday but dd2 had a tantrum because dd1 had flushed her wee away and even though she couldn't do it she wanted to.
Got to love toddler logic 😂😂😂😂

Evil doctor he’s just started putting words together, without fail it’s in the form of unreasonable demands (a banana at 7pm, wellies at 6am, peppa pig while in the bath, etc) but he’s always VERY polite. Whilst following me around screaming and sobbing he always says please!!

Because her sister went into nursery.
Because she splashed in a puddle and her feet got wet.
Because I had the absolute cheek to sit down to drink my coffee, and not to give her a breastfeed.
Because I finished my coffee and offered a breastfeed.
Because bing wasn't on tv.
Because bing was on tv.
Because bing finished.
Because we collected her siblings from nursery.
Because she splashed in a puddle and got her feet wet.
Because she threw herself face first in said puddle in her tantrum and got her everything wet.
Because I laughed at her muddy face.
Because her brother looked at her.
Because her sister left the room.
Because her sister came back in the room.
And multiple ones because I have absolutely no idea.
20 month old, not very verbal, toddlers are just lovely creatures. I'm seriously considering hiring her out to schools for sex education lessons.

He got up at 4:45am and it was dark

DS 6 isn't a toddler, but screamed at me because he wanted to give me his PE bag and I said "wait until we get upstairs." (We live in a basement flat.)

The blue planet episode finished - proper tears for the fishes
Yesterday he had a massive meltdown because I wouldn't let him wear his jumper swimming.
He's under the weather so more friable than usual as he's usually a very sunny little thing

Haha boots on resonates here too. Except we don't get "boots on", we get "toes in" or "toes out"
