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!!

DD (18) rewatching Being Human

2.5yo DS - cried because the small circle I drew after he asked me to, was too small.

Not my child, but I was in tesco earlier on and a little boy of about 2.5/3 was sobbing hysterically because his mother wouldn't buy him 'the box of mice' - tampons

My DD sobbed hysterically because "Slimer" in the old 80's Ghost Busters cartoons "can't find his Mummy".

She is completely and utterly over-dramatic at the moment. I think it's gotten worse since she turned 4!

DD aged 3 cried because she wanted to go on the red bus. We were already in the red bus 🤦🏽‍♀️

We also had tears thos morning because he didn't want to take his sister to school with me, he wanted to stay at home with Daddy. DH was at work 🙄

DGD(3) because I walked home from work too quickly? I rang when I was on my way, she was stood at the front door waiting for me, snotty tears when she saw me because I was too early...I even tried walking away and coming back to see if that helped (it didn't)

My two year old cried because I put last nights pjs in the washing machine and switched it on. Cue ten minutes of clutching his chest shouting 'my clothes'.

My 2 and 1/2 dd cried at me because I refused to let her clean up the wee she had split by trying to carry the potty upstairs to flush it down the loo.
I got screamed at in Aldi as I wouldn't let her put (lob into the trolley and shout whee!) the glass curry sauce jar.
I had crying for 20 mins because her tv show had ended and I switched over to something else.
I love my daughter but some days,I just want to cry with her while going I know kid,I know.

My 3 year old DD cried because I wouldn't let her stand behind me and pull my hair out (or 'playing hairdressers' as she calls it). She sneaked up on me while I was on the phone. My scalp hurts.

Because it isn't Thursday.

4 year old asked for sausages for dinner. I explained that he was getting fish fingers. He cried and didn’t want to come inside.

We had tears tonight over fish fingers as they had a hole in them and because she had eaten all her spaghetti shapes on her plate. I put it down to first day at school tiredness.

He's 6 months and teething with a cold, so he's in pain and unable to communicate with words. He's especially bad today so I put music on to distract him from the pain, he loved Bare Necessities and Rock a Bye Baby but he did not want 3 other song options that he usually likes; he screamed and screamed with big fat tears and pink cheeks until I played the other two again. Then he snuggled to cuddle and chewed on his monkey with heaving chest, but he listened peacefully. I've no idea why he wanted those ones but nothing else. He's asleep on me now and I'm so scared to put him down.

I offered him a drink

Because his dad cut his slice of toast into halves.

Where to begin?!

• because she didn’t want a banana (nobody had offered her a banana and there were no bananas in the house)

• because the baby “looked” at her

• because the dog didn’t bark

• because it’s not her birthday

• because she didn’t want to wear the purple jumper (that she chose herself)

Threenagers are such fun.

Not crying as such, but having a good swear. She's playing Monster Hunter.

I wouldn't let him use my face as a road for his tractor.

Because I wouldn't let him have an ice cream from the van. He was currently eating an ice cream.

Because she wanted sweets in Town and then started shouting "help me this is not my mummy" as I bundled her kicking and screaming out the shop when I said no! I then had to deal with shopping centre security guard! Dd2 is just 3!

22mo DD
"bear hunt yoga!" turn on bear hunt yoga for her. "turn off!" turn it off. "bear hunt yoga!" full on stamps and crying because we didn't turn it back on immediately

Oh these have really cheered me up made dd1 and dd2 laugh too. Now I’m trying to remember the ridiculous things they cried at

Because the mummy duck had no baby ducks left. Proper, full blown hysterics. Tears, snot, the after sobs and everything.
Over a fucking nursery rhyme. And she knows the baby ducks come back, because she sings the fucking thing all the fucking time.

Bedtime was a relief today.

Oh god, today courtesy of my not quite 2 year old I've had:

a screaming meltdown because she was next to me and not on me (she was on me though - she threw herself off my lap then proceeded to meltdown about it).
That she wanted milk in her cup. So I gave her milk in her cup.
She wanted her coat on. And her puddlesuit. And my coat. And her shoes. And my shoes and it wouldn't all fit.
She wanted to get in the car seat with the baby.
The gruffalo's child fell over. The mouse got chased by the owl (funny though as she was twit-twooing while screeching "OH NO!"and crying inconsolably)
That the baby was sick on me. 57 times. Hysteria every time.
That daddy sat in the wrong place and not exactly where her tiny, demanding finger was pointing.
That she wasn't allowed to steal the pretty painted stone from the park. That one went on for ages, she'd forget about it then remember then go acca again - like a tiny drunk repeating stories...

And...wait for iiiiittttt...

That she pooed in the bath. And that her own poo got on her. And then that she had to have said poo washed off her with the shower.
Solidarity hugs to you all!
