To think my toddler is ridiculous

[ginandnappies]

What is with these tantrums?! Why do they loose their mind over placing a pillow down the wrong way? Please tell me I'm not alone! Let's share our silliest toddler tantrums. Ps am I being unreasonable to laugh in his face?

Because Postman Pat and Fireman Sam are not in the same program. They should be apparently, a 'postman Pat delivers to Pontypandy' hybrid episode.

Because he's not insured to drive Nana's car, what with being 2 and three quarters and therefore only a learner driver.

You've got to laugh.

My 3 year old DS..

Can't sit up to eat lunch/ dinner because the dog moved his chair

Anytime I say anything is closed. No mummy clock say open, two in clock. Then if I disagree with his time telling and say it's six and the shop is closed then he cries a lot. Today he said it's open mummy now sun outside, so it's morning time.

My 3yo had a tantrum the other day because I got rid of a bugger off the tip of his nose. He was shouting at me to put it back.

PhillipeFellope that would be a good show though

I honestly don't understand why people like you don't just scroll past threads you're not interested in. The only thing I can think of is that you get excited when you see a thread you can 'claim' offends you and then you can get some attention. I fail to believe that you truly find this offensive. No-one can be that sensitive surely?

This is lovely. It's an existential problem. Resolve this

I want to hold a car in each hand.
I want to eat my lunch.
I do not want to be fed by another.

DD yesterday had a cracker in one hand, a puff in the other and some toast pieces in front of her. She couldn't work out how to have all of them so kept cycling through; putting down one, picking up another, swapping hands and getting increasingly angry that she didn't have two hands. She solved it by shoving the toast into my mouth and then laughing manically.

DS has lost the plot recently because the toilet is in the toilet and not his bedroom, because my friend's baby is called Thomas and not Brian and because I didn't know he was a hippo today when he was obviously a hippo and was making a hippo noise.

DD once threw a massive tantrum because she wanted butter on her jacket potatoe but didnt want it to melt. Absolutely nothing I can do to change the laws of physics...

Why has your dog got his own chair?

she didn't have two hands

Dammit, three hands. She does have 2 but needed 3!

Oh God do not say that about twins.

Mine are 17mo. DS had a tantrum recently because I put a chicken sandwich on his high chair tray. He kept covering his eyes so he couldn't see it, calming down a bit, taking his hands off his eyes, seeing The Devil's Sandwich and screaming again.

His twin sister does not tantrum, but if something displeases her, she will sometimes silently remove her trousers and lie on her back in the centre of the room, with her big eyes following you accusingly around.

3 y/o refused to eat her marmite toast because "it doesn't have special marmite on it", well it did but she's having none of it. I go and get the jar and spread a little bit more on just so she can see it does, and get her to smell it (how can you miss that!?), but no... "It's got no special marmite on it mum!!!" Offered her everything else but... she wants marmite toast. Sod it then don't have breakfast she even ratted me to her dad later "mummy didn't make me special marmite toast dad, silly mum "

A few weeks ago he wanted a sliced up banana. I sliced the banana and put it in his bowl and gave it to him. He had a full on meltdown over the banana being sliced. He was so angry he picked up the bowl with the sliced banana and put it on time out and shut the door on it. Five or so minutes later he put himself of time out to eat his banana. 😂

Mine is 3 and went ballistic last week because he wanted to watch TV. All right, DS, what do you want to watch? TV! Yes but which programme? Hey Duggee? Peppa? TV!!!! (Accompanied by hysterical wailing and total meltdown. I was inwardly laughing until he started battering his toy against the door...)

I love these threads. Why toddlers have melt downs. Nothing cruel in them. If we didn’t find the funny side we would crack up.
Similar vein but a bit opposite. 2 children in my treatment room today loved sliding off the plastics chairs and calling out weeeeee at full volume. It looked like so much fun I tried it myself at lunch time.

Oh god I'm so relieved to read all of these. My little girl is 3 and a half but still no better. This week have had tears as I cut the grass and she wanted it long, tears because I dried my hair and she wanted me to have wet hair. Another meltdown because I wouldn't take my t shirt off. God they are exhausting

had literally just responded to his comment about taking the girls out to buy shoes with 'I wouldn't, they are both twats

This really made me laugh!

As did the toddler who put his banana in a time out

@JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff Oh God do not say that about twins.

Sorry. It can be epic.

And as hellish as it seems - it's better when they tantrum on the same day. When they tag team you taking a day at a time it's worse.

One that sticks in my memory was walking to the shops and a plane went by overhead. Toddler had a massive tantrum because he had never been on a plane. He was totally inconsolable. He had seen planes flying overhead before and had never seem that interested. Until that day.

Literally just sat here constantly refreshing the page.

Biggest belly laughs ever!! Actually got tears running down my face.

😂😂😂😂😂

Dgs (2) was waiting for his Mum to come home from work, mentioned her several times ie "Mummy work! Mummy back?" She came in, didn't even have a chance to say hello or give him his usual hug and kiss and he screamed at her, buried his face in the sofa and started kicking and screaming because "Mummy back"

My 2 yo had a meltdown by a lake because he couldn't go swimming with the swans and jump in the water.

I wish I could have read a thread like this when my daughter was a toddler nearly 30 years ago ,it would have saved my sanity!
I did read a very good book called 'Toddler taming', but I forget who wrote it.

Unfortunately for dgs1 (6), dgs2 usual way of expressing displeasure is to headbutt his big brother.... several times - then he cries because he has hurt his head!

My Facebook is kept for the main purpose of sharing what ridiculous shit my kids have come out with.

Quick ring social services, abusive parent and documenting for future mockery! 😱🙄😂

My dd woke me up at 5am crying that she doesn't like chocolate icecream and doesn't want to eat it. It was 5am.She then cried when I put her back in bed.

My ds cried because his sister ate one of his red skittles. He had several more in a bowl, he doesn't actually know all the colours yet. She ate a yellow one, not red. Dd then poked her belly button so she could give it back to him, at the same time she swiped a red skittle.
