How have you ruined your pre-schoolers day today?

[Slayduggee]

DD3 dropped her biscuit on the floor in the car. I picked it up and gave it back to her. Apparently it is dirty now and I have ruined her whole day.

Asked him to go for a wee before an hours car journey. Lots of screaming into the carpet. Ended up doing a very large wee, so I feel vindicated

When our son was 3, his Dad mushed his weetabix one morning. It was quite a spectacular eruption from DS. So much so that we still remember it in detail. DS is now 27.

He broke his rice cake and I couldn't put it back together. Oh and I won't let him watch Blippi

I get parcels and she doesn't. Even though the contents of said parcels are rarely for me, and the most recent one was clothes for her, some of which she is wearing now. It's still not fair that I get parcels and she doesn't. She's away upstairs till we all learn to behave.

5yo DS also complains about this.

I gave his sister a pancake. He didn't want the pancake himself. He just didn't want his sister to enjoy a pancake when he wasn't also enjoying a pancake.

Yesterday the world ended because I refused to take him to the park at 8.30pm in the pitch dark.

And the day before, I rolled up his jeans, which are a bit too long. Which apparently warrants me being repeatedly beaten with tiny fists while he screams blue murder.

These are funny. Such odd little things children. Mine are grown up now but we had one memorable day when apparantly I was the worst mum in the world because I wouldn't let him go to the toilet - in the B&Q bathroom display section 🙄😂

Because I poured the milk on the cereal before the spoon was in the bowl...

DS3 also constantly wants me to make decisions for him. Just now he wanted to "play with something", but gave me no indication as to what it was. Eventually we narrowed it down to one of his sister's Playmobil sets, but which one was a mystery. He just stood there getting more and more furious with me for refusing to pick, because whenever I do it's wrong. Always.

After a short battle of wills he finally divulged it was in fact "the HOSP-ICLE!" set that he was after and, to be fair, manhandling his patients is keeping him quiet. For now...

DD wasn't like this. I had no idea how lucky I was!

Mine is reception so technically not pre school, but i've collected him from his beloved grandma's and he was most displeased.

Apparently I knocked the tower of blocks DD was building down….from the other side of the room. She tried to punish me by putting me on the spot!

Very few complaints here today but that’s because I’m heavily pregnant and not arguing. I’ve let her sit in the bath even though it went cold, eat two ice lollies, didn’t brush Heath until 19am as she hid behind the sofa the first time I tried, have tv on, ate my breakfast wearing an owlette mask, I’ve been trying to convince her to come out to the shops for 3 hours but to be fair she has eaten a random lunch (apple, Parma ham and cheese) in that time and I don’t have to go so I’m all good with not going and as she’s engrossed with playing now I’ve managed to turn the tv off without a tantrum.

I’m quite enjoying the lack of shouting but it’s probably not my best parenting day!

That has made me chuckle! You sound lovely

Mine is 10 and is in a grump because the hanging sloth toy she wants to buy online with her pocket money is out of stock. To be fair she hasn’t directly blamed me but only because she has finally learned better. I can definitely feel her wrath indirectly though!!

I said to my 5 yr old he couldn't go to school

He asked for milk, then I gave him milk. Full melt down first thing in the morning.

It rained... and we couldn't go in the garden...

DD3 cried (loudly) for a solid 15 minutes because I told her she couldn't pick up her poo and put it up her nose

I remember not being able to mend a broken breadstick (whilst driving on the A11 with an incandescent wailing DS strapped in his car seat in the back)... 🙄😱

A hiding walk 🤣🤣

We played pass the parcel today for the dogs birthday (don’t ask.) DS 5 cried during the game because I put Percy pig choc buttons in the layers (for the humans playing) which DS had specifically chosen. Apparently during The course of the 60 second game he decided he didn’t like them anymore.

He actually used the phrase ‘ I was having a great day and now it’s ruined’

Because I dared to suggest dad play with her for 5 minutes. He's the enemy and always has been since she's been bloody born right now

2.5 year old twins.. DD had a melt down because I wouldn't let her wear sandals to go out in. They don't even fit her anymore and it's bloody freezing.. DS, I put cauliflower cheese on his plate with his meal. He screamed he didn't want the cauliflower cheese on his plate so I removed it, he then had a meltdown because I removed it 🙄🤣🤣 the joys of toddlers

Last weekend my 3 year old threw herself on the floor because she wasn’t allowed to wear her ‘spooky bride’ dress to the Halloween trail, it was too big for her so would get muddy, and had the audacity to suggest she might want to wear her witch dress instead. Also mine does the coat thing, she doesn’t want to wear it, but I’m also not allowed to bring it in the car just in case

I told ds2 that he couldn't put his wet nappy in the tumble dryer.

DS once had a full on screaming tantrum because he wanted me to do a poo because he had. It’s memorable because he actually very rarely got so upset.

Yesterday at the fireworks I bought my 3 and 5 year old overpriced flashing wands and then paid for them to go on an overpriced fairground ride, leaving me with just enough money for some sweets and a taxi home. 5 year old spots a game where you have to throw darts at a board in order to win a prize. It is an adult game with adult darts and things like whisky as prizes. I say he can't play it and anyway I can't afford another game, just the sweets. He then hit me with his wand until it snapped in half (it was extremely flimsy) and then was distraught that he no longer had a wand. The entire rest of the evening was then consumed by him alternately pleading for another one and insisting that we "at least" break his sisters as well. Took all my restraint not to accidentally lose him in the crowd.
