Strange reasons for tanties

I am sure there are some great stories out there.

One day last week DS2 threw a huge tanty when we left day care. He was holding my keys and a carer asked him was he driving home. He said "yes, I drive home". So we got out to the car, I opened his door and he said "no, I sit in your seat in the front and drive home". When I explained that he was too little to drive and he had to sit in his seat so he could be safely strapped in the tanty started. And lasted until we were nearly home! Oh dear - I can't imagine what it will be next!

oh he needs a car seat like maggies from the simpsons.

oh DD chuck a huge tanty becaus ei got there just as supper was coming sandwhiches, well wasnt it on for young and old.
so we stayed and to prove me wrong she ate the whole damn thing a whole quarter of a devon sandwich. she never eats the crusts but that day she did..

silly little things. i just laugh. its all i can do to stay sane some days lol

lol I've had tanties because he wasn't allowed to "drive" the car too!!

This morning DD had a tanty because I wouldn't share my pregnancy vitamin capsules with her. I tried to explain that it wasn't yummy, it was medicine, but she didn't believe me.

Jack (who is only one) will have a huge tanty if I go into the planner screen on the MyStar (similiar to Foxtel IQ) and put anything other than In The Night Garden on. It's ridiculous, as soon as he sees that blue screen he stops whatever he is doing and goes and sits in front of the TV and waits, LOL.

DS had a tanty this morning because I stirred his porridge - normally I pour the milk on & stir it before I give it to him, this morning I'd put it out & went to the loo & DH gave him the porridge & didn't stir it. I stired it before he started eating to ensure no ho9t spots and then the tanty started. It went on for nearly 10 mins, I thought it was over when I gave him a pear (& he ate that happily) and started again when I asked if he was going to eat the porridge. He raged for another 5 mins before eating the porridge.

DD has thrown some corkers lately.

Went on a flight to Sydney. DP made the fatal mistake of putting her into his empty seat while he put some stuff into the overhead locker. Then we transferred her to my knee so he could sit down. Much howling because she now didn't have her own seat. ALL ... THE ... WAY ... TO ... SYDNEY.

Went swimming. The pool was freezing. We were freezing. DD was so cold she shivered the entire time but she loved it. We stayed in there for a good amount of time but of course not long enough for DD and she screamed the place down when we got her out. The two of us couldn't get her dressed for 10 mins because she was kicking and carrying on so much. When she finally calmed down, I said to her, "did you like going swimming DD?" And she replied in her best Aussie accent, "naaaaaaaaaaaaah."

Ashton lost the plot this morning cause he couldn't go to creche. He goes to a school creche on the days i do craft and scrapbooking there and we walk past the creche building every morning. I think he thought it was Wednesday lol.

He also had a tanty one morning in the middle of the shopping centre (approx 10am) cause I wouldn't sit down in the food court to buy something to eat. We have not eaten in the food court for a good year LOL.

Oh dear - I guess DS2 isn't the only tanty thrower.

Fiona, that must have been a very long flight! I had to chuckle at the 'naaaahhh' though. I could just see my boys doing that!

DD2 had a corker one morning that started the moment I got her out of her cot. As far as I can tell it was over her pyjamas? Specific cause of grievance unknown..??? Anyway I had to drag her out and get her dressed so DD1 wasn't late for school (which she was in the end anyway) but the tanty continued over non-specific issues (clothes, nappy, milk, highchair, bib, porridge, highchair, drink, dog, tv) for a good 45 minutes>>>????!

Tonight DD slipped over in the bathroom and banged her head (she was fine), so i picked up DS and carried him out so he wouldn't slip also...

So he proceeded to have a tanty that i carried him and he wanted to walk and fall over and bump his head also....

Grr.. tired much??

I was tempted to put him out on the nature strip for the rubbish collection :D

I have a very clear memory of my sister chucking a MASSIVE tant on her first day of grade 1...because her uniform wasn't "pretty enough".

If we even just start to surf through the channel listing, so not actually changing the channel we get screams of "No, I want mine on!"

Worst one - DD1 was in her bedroom playing. I realised that the TV was still on one of her channels and decided to watch something I wanted. An almighty scream came from the her room. I thought she had hurt herself or something and I panicked. Well it was not that at all, she was howling due to me changing the channel :rolleyes: So the TV went off, she was sent back to her room screaming and the screaming continued for about an hour. Not a pleasant day.

Lol there are some crackers here!!

DD throws a tanty when it seems she wants my help to either take her pants off or on or her top off or on and I go to help and she just cracks a huge tanty over it, I'm like do you want my help or not!! So frustrating!

Harry tanties at almost anything. Put on the wrong movie - tantie. If we don't all get out of the car at every single shop we go to - tantie. If we get home and he has been in the car the whole time (for example, picking up the kids from school) - tantie. If he sees you putting the milk in his cup for a chocolate milk - tantie. If you wont give him his half cooked dinner right now because now is when he wants it - tantie.

You would think he'd be over it by now.. it has never ever gotten him what he wanted.
