I feel like we have a “why is my child crying” type thread around somewhere
Today my 11 month old Taby cried because she couldn’t put a hair tie in her hair in spite of stretching it on top of her head many times. And then she cried because I took it away when she put it in her mouth.
Last night the wiggler was upset because he went into the basement with Dada and Dada did the laundry tasks. He wanted Dada to undo putting in detergent so HE could do it.
He’s 6 but hopefully this thread is welcoming to all silly tantrums
Yesterday Meowlet was very upset that we were giving supplies to the class. He thought they were HIS supplies and he did NOT like the idea that they were a communal pot. The teacher promised to put his supplies by his cubby.
Tonight we narrowly avoided a tantrum when he didn’t want to go in the garage door, but the front door was fine
Do all babies love outside? Ours demands it by grabbing his shoes and banging on the door yelling “ooside ooside” until we go. And I love it and hope he never changes.
The tantrums are too numerous to count. But B2 keeps getting yogurts, opening and abandoning. Today I dumped one in a bowl, stirred and returned to pot and now it’s edible
Last night’s tantrum was because we wouldn’t let him ride his bike down the stairs!
Getting better at saying what we want to do “hey buddy, let’s ride our bike over here instead” instead of “whoa whoa whoa not down the stairs” but I think safety and urgent stuff is gonna be the area we aren’t as good at. Which I’m fine with!
Still so silly, because I agree down the stairs probably would have been more fun
Todays: Toddler-baby: wasn’t allowed to feed the dog her toast sticks. Preschooler: told her she couldn’t change her clothes while still under her bed. I didn’t mean it as a boundary, just an observation of physics
I had the audacity to break his cookie in two (so he could have some in each hand) today and I am basically the worst parent ever, lol. FULL on melt down. Love this little dude.
