To ask the stupid reason why your child has cried today?

[Ellen7262]

Just to make me feel better.

DD aged 2 has just had an hour long meltdown because she didn't want to go to the park. I never asked if she wanted to go to the park. I feel this may be related to the fact she got 3 hours sleep last night.

Give me your 'why the fuck are you crying' stories please!!

Sigh. I have no idea. Still at it ages later.

Because I wouldn't let my 2 year old say "bye poo" (empty the potty down the toilet). She had a melt down.

I’m loving these, DD(6) does my nut in but soooo glad we’re out of the toddler phase!!!

Today mine cried because he tried to eat a sticker and it got stuck in his teeth.

He then cried because I had the audacity to take him to his favourite gym class and encourage him to join in.

He then bit me.

13 month old screamed because I wouldn't give him a whole banana loaf. Instead I broke off small pieces. He screamed for about 10 minutes and wouldn't look at me.

She's potty training at the moment and she's currently screaming/sobbing that 'nana is naughty' for asking if she needs a wee. She's traumatised.

Dd aged 2 had a meltdown because she wanted to watch dinosaurs on the Tele (Andy's dinosaur adventure) I told her it wasn't on and massive meltdown, managed to find some on demand and then put it on but of course it wasn't the right dinosaur another meltdown all in all I had 40 minutes of sobbing crying all because of a dinosaur.

Because I got in from work and spent a long time making him a HULK sticker chart, as per request, but when I presented it to him I got "NOT HULK! I WANTED BRUCE BANNER!!!!"

The purple leaf she asked me to pick wasn't yellow...

Ds2 cries if any food breaks and can't be fixed, and refuses to eat it.

His other main meltdowns tend to be because I have hair and when he puts his arms round my neck he touches it

20 minute hysterical fit (including woeful banging of his head on a pillow) because I wouldn’t let him draw on the cat with magic markers.

My 3 yo cried this morning as he wanted honey in his porridge. Then because the honey disappeared into the milk. He wouldn't believe me that it was in there despite me squirting in some more so he could see it sink in!

Because she went back to uni and is going to miss the dog.

My 4yo cried the other day because I wouldn't let him draw on 2yo brothers face. But I like drawing on his face, he wailed.
2yo begged "no more shops mummy", when I took him into town clothes shopping.

Not recently but ds2 once had the mother of all tantrums because I wouldn't let him go downstairs. Screaming in a way youde think I was murdering him.
We were already downstairs and DON'T own a cellar

17m old DD - body shaking sobs because she was not allowed to drink out of the cats' water bowl.

Sudden absolute rage.
Gnashing of teeth, rending of garments over what. Who knew?
I gave in anyhow. Pick your battles etc.
So she upped it a gear, howling, now.
"Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!"
"What is the matter?"
"I want to forgive you"

(20 years ago, still makes me want to cuddle her)

Her school jumper was too big. The sleeves looked like a donut! Would I want to wear donuts?! How could she possibly read her watch?????!!!! (10 yrs)

Yesterday morning, I asked if he wanted rice Krispies, then offered him a spoon of rice Krispies. He hit the fucking roof. Full shit fit, Angry toddler yoga, booted the table, that hurt, so he went further nuts.

I had to wait until he was having a momentary breather to ask if he wanted to watch the dancing gee gees (dressage), which he did, and then sat quietly and ate the hugely offensive rice Krispies.

He's nearly two, so safe to say I'm looking forward to the next couple of years and the tantrums i have yet to come.

My 2 yr old cries if you give him any food that's broken, he then won't eat them which is very frustrating when he's the one that breaks them in the first place

Mine cried today (shes 3.5) that I didn't let her put small ball of play dough inside her nose.

My 3.5yr old DS1 cried every night for a week as he didn’t have any pink paw patrol pj’s with Sky on. Found some in Asda’s thought that he would be so pleased. Gave them to him and he went bonkers. Apparently he hates pink and Sky, asked since when and he sobbed ‘since tomorrow’

My one year one ds threw a fit today when I wouldn't let him bash daddy's very expensive speakers against the wall.

Oh, I have found my people! Today’s screaming tantrums from my 2.5 yr old:

Because my friends 1 year old isn’t in the same nursery class as her

Because we got home and she didn’t have the stick that she had deliberately thrown away at nursery

Because I wasn’t Daddy

Because there was a spider the size of a pin head on the wall opposite (I don’t even know how she could see it!)

One year old ds
