What tantrums have you had today?

I don't want to get out of the swimming pool
I want Daddy's drink

Today's actually not been that bad at all We have days with rarely any, and then we have days when anything can be disatrous and cause a major meltdown!

As a rule Jordy doesn't tanty much at all, but the other day he had a blowout that lasted a full hour because he wanted to do more poo on the toilet even though he was finished and it was time for a nap. It just went on and on and kept escalating, to the point where I ended up bundling him into a nappy and sleepsuit and just put him to bed. I woke him up 3 hours later and I think we were both so shell shocked that we sat cuddling on the couch for about 20 minutes in silence

We had an hour long tanty and I still don't know why ... I think she had a sore toe ... it was hard to eat dinner with the wailing banshee from hell 3 feet away. After that she ate her dinner nicely and went and had a bath and you'd never know it happened.

Usually we get little tanties whenever we say no for any reason, especially if she's trying to help and we say no (don't really need help with a hot oven, for example) but then she's a grump and anything will set her off when she's tired. I got a huge tantrum once because I told her not to hang the clean socks I'd just taken off the clothes airer back on.
