For a moment I thought this was your reason for crying. Uh, today something similar to that would be mine, because tired.

I cry and cry and cry because Mum keeps trying to put me in my cot to sleep where I can be nice and cool and comfortable but I want to be gross and sweaty all over her.

Surface causes: Having to go inside. Not being allowed to pull on the baby gate. Putting on pants. The door being closed. Not being allowed to vacuum. Mom not holding the broom. Mom not giving her the broom. Mom not holding enough crayons. Literally anything and everything unless she’s all smiles and giggles.
Root cause: probablyobably molars (ha ha).

I wanted a frozen drink and my parents got one for me but it didn’t come with a lid.

It has been a long day:
The grapes came out of the fridge and are not yet washed, cut or in my mouth
Several diaper changes
About seventeen objects were stolen from me throughout the day after I liberated them from the stovetop, the backs of kitchen counters etx
But I want to break dad’s glasses
Mum took my markwr after I drew on the walls and bathroom door while she was going to the bathroom
After I found Dad’s pistachios.wherever he left them mum wouldn’t open the shells as fast as I wanted
Mum took my dry erase marker after I drew on my play kitchen
Mum vacuumed during nap
Mum stole my pistachios that I’d dumped on the floor during nap and I wanted them
Mum wouldn’t open the lollipop when I asked nicely even though it was the one time I was polite all day
Mum cleaned up the Nivea I smeared everywhere and was painting with
Mum took away the coffee grinder blade I’d gotten out of an unlocked cupboard
I don’t like any food except grapes, lollipops and white bread from the bag/floor (plates not okay) and why did you not learn that in all of today when I clearly have felt this way for hours
Mum said I can’t stick my hands in cat litter
Mum said I can’t throw cat food in cat litter
Dad tried to make me eat salmon
Dad offered me water
I asked for applesauce and they gave it to me
My diaper fell around my knees while I was running from my oppressors and they wouldn’t fix it while I was still running
In good news he’s cleared for daycare tomorrow

Mama is too cruel, apparently, and Dada is required for bedtime.

Sounds about like our day…and I’m not sick so I can’t imagine how you must be feeling!
We ended the day with poop in the bath, bleeding guns because I was too agressive with brushing, and crying because daddy was sitting in the glider to read books but apparently she wanted to sit in the glider alone to read bedtime stories. It will be both better and worse when she can do more than point and grunt/whine to communicate

Ten minutes into bedtime I got bit and walked out. I have a water bottle, my phone, and my bedroom. Apparently they went down to watch TV. I think even if G hadn’t been home walking away was the right choice

Because daddy could not take the apple out of her beef and apple epic bar.

When my mum went to have my baby brother she left with dad very early in the morning and when they came in to kiss me goodbye I didn’t hear them.
Baby brother is almost 1.5 now.
Every few months this memory comes back with fresh tears

Our 5 year old occasionally brings up “the black splinter” he had like 3 years ago. I have no idea how he remembers it. It wasn’t even the worst splinter he ever had!

Pipsqueak is crying because she’s having big feelings… about many things.
I’m crying because for the first time since Pipsqueak was born 15 months ago we both have a day off work and childcare. We had planned on a short local hike. Yesterday the weather forecast went from sunny to showers. Downgraded plans to takeout and possibly a stroll around the botanical garden with some two-adult household organization tasks. One hour after the nanny arrived she found out about a covid exposure and went home. Now we’re at home with a whiny kid and rainy weather. The botanical garden on a holiday will be packed so we will not be going with our kid who is too young to wear a mask. Cries

We are removing the bottle as a sleep crutch and this nap is not going to start for another half hour or more plus crying, and we’ve been gently trying for an hour and a half

Still no bottle. Had a respite from crying from 630-9. Weaning to a bottle at night a few months ago was a huge mistake. And now little sibling won’t get a bottle one second past 12 months. We’d discussed a bottle with water but decided against it. I think the only I out is through.
I’d already planned to try and ditch the bottle around now, and then a few nights ago I saw a documentary with toddlers getting teeth pulled because of extended bottle feeds without brushing before bed

Ugh that sounds hard. Duckling has a glass of milk at night, and I’m hoping that doesn’t bite us in the ass dental wise - and we’re just now dealing with swapping to a water and he is very resistant.

I’ve been worrying about this as well. First thing in the morning and last thing before bed are the only times L nurses now and I’m worried about her teeth. I just remembered that with B at this age we did bottle, brush teeth, bed. I keep thinking we need to do that with L, but then I also think that I’m working on weaning her off nursing altogether so maybe I just let her keep going until then? But I worry about her teeth every time we brush.

From what I was panic reading they are less worried about breast milk before bed? I don’t know why. But definitely wean to a routine where teeth are after a cup of milk.
He finally fell asleep when G bundled him up and walked him around. The only reason I didn’t ask him to do that hours earlier (and not necessarily outside) is that I asked him to cuddle walk him to sleep a few weeks ago and he said he can’t anymore? I also can’t anymore, I can rock a few minutes. I am hurt and upset and annoyed. But we are all sad and hurt and exhausted so I am not saying anything

Because Mom told me that jingle bells are not a bedtime toy, and my life was ruined.
(Y’all it was the saddest crying ever. His lip quiverred, and then he just went full on tears and collapsed into my lap.)
