Parody Thread: AIBU Toddler Tantrum Edition

[TotallyReasonableToddler]

This is a parody thread inspired by this thread.

These are the rules. You speak as if you are the child in question.

You then go on to describe the events that lead up to the child’s tantrum or meltdown from their perspective as you would when making an AIBU thread. Bonus points if you want to reply to the comments as if you are a toddler.

I’ll go first so you all have an example to go off of.

Hiya,

I’m a 25mo female. I am having a really terrible day everyone. My mommy 32F is cranky because for the last week I have taken three hours to go to bed but I’m just not tired. I have too much energy and want to play. Who needs sleep anyways? So mommy told me I’m going on a more “consistent” (whatever that means) sleep schedule today and woke me up early. So I sobbed for an hour all through out my breakfast. I was absolutely devastated because I was sleeping so well. How could she wake me up like that? It felt like torture. I don’t ever want to wake up early again.

When I was finally awake and finished with my meal I started grabbing all of my old clothes out of the laundry basket and started trying to put them on by myself. Got frustrated and started screaming because I just couldn’t quite get it. When mommy took the clothes away and shut the basket in the closet I threw myself onto the floor and wailed and then stomped around kicking my toys everywhere screaming like a banshee. It’s just not fair! I’m sure I was going to get it if she just let me keep trying! Never mind that our 13yo elderly cat was on the verge of a having a stroke from all the noise I was making.

I mean what was wrong with me playing with the clothes? I just wanted to practice! I think my mom is a narcissist guys. Surely it’s not me whose bring unreasonable right?

Today my mum 35F took me to the park and I, 24moF got really excited because I really wanted bits! 😃 Bits are donuts in case you didn’t know. Sometimes we go to the nearby coffee shop and mum and daddy get me bits and they are so good!

Mum offered me a snack before we left but i turned her down. I’m saving room for bits.

When we went outside I started walking directly to the coffee shop. Mum said no though and directed me to the park. That’s okay because I’m sure we will get bits later but I really want them now. 😔

We went to the park and I played a little bit eventually I remembered the delicious taste of bits and started slowly walking that way as I played. “Bits! Bits!” I said in a sing song voice. Mum kept bringing me back to the park though. “No we aren’t getting bits today.” she said. 😏 Surely she doesn’t mean that.

We got back but I changed my mind and decided to start running towards the busy street. Mum stopped me and started gently pulling me into the direction of home by the hand. I refused to move and fell to the ground pressing myself into the earth. Mum picked me up and I shouted “BITS BITS!” and screamed bloody murder and fought for my life. Had this woman gone mad? What about the bits?! I screamed and kicked and punched all the way down the street but to no avail. 😭

I’m heart broken. I guess I will instead have to settle for apple slices and juice when we get home. 😔
