We all know that toddlers are prone to tantrums which can be triggered by the simplest of things, so what has tipped your bub over the edge lately?
Yesterday DS had a meltdown because I got him the wrong flavour of muesli bar.
Today it was because he had to wear pants.
because I wouldn't let him have an ice block for breakfast. Mean mummy that I am ;)
This morning we are all out of jam...that started it. But it's only 8.30am, so shall pop back in later & fill in the rest LOL. Next to come is getting dressed, then prob not wanting to go to gymnastics. And prob in there somewhere a tanty about a cupcake or something he can't have.
ohhh this morning. She got in trouble for standing on a glass coffee table and was told to hop down. Apparently im a mean mummy for not wanting her to fall through it and end up in Emergency getting glass pulled out of her. Im horrible!
Gosh where to start?? It 's been a great morning here, not!
Not giving her bickies for breaky.
Not letting her drink DH coke.
Not giving her her blankie when she demanded I get off the lounge and get it for her.
Trying to help her open the bathroom door for her to go to the toilet before she pee'd herself.
Having to put undies on to go down the shops....then not letting her put a nappy on to go down the shops (I gave in on this one :redface: so much easier to get a nappy on her than the undies!!).
Thankfully we only ever get minor tantrums. We've had two already today though.
He asked for oatmeal for breakfast then after I made it for him he asked for something else. He cried when I made him eat the oatmeal.
I made him wash his hands after peeing in a public washroom.
Jordy whacks me when he doesn't want to go down for a nap (even though he is asleep now so obviously needed it) but he flings himself face down at the drop of a hat.
I have to admit I struggle to keep a straight face, so that probably doesn't help
I wouldnt let the bucket come inside :rolleyes: My son has decided a bucket is #1 toy and carries it everywhere waving it like a madman.
Oh and mean mummy gave him a drink bottle of water when he wanted juice.
I don't have a toddler but DS aged 12 threw a massive wobbly about 10 mins ago over having to pick his shoes up and put them in the shoe box by the front door! :o
Far out Tinkerbell, I cling to the promise that this is a passing phase - don't dash my hopes like that!
He saw Daddy leave for work and wanted to go with him.
oh where to start
first one i took the box of chocies off DD
second made her wear shorts to school and put a clean nappy on
the i wouldnt let her take her green chair to school.
oh then i made her sit in her car seat with the seat belt done up.
oh soo frustrating but so funny the things she looses it over.
oh and i think i made her milk wrong, i put it in the microwave the wrong way or something im sure..
DD1 had to go to school
There were no apples left
I took back my pack of cheese & bacon shapes, lol
There'll be plenty more before the day is out!
Lol, hate to break it to you, but DD1 is 7 & still throws a daily tantrum!!:
and so does DS who is 9
last night it was over brushing his teeth. night before asked him to have first shower
this morning was putting on his hat.
Yep, I hate to break it to you too but my 15 yr old and my 12 yr old throw their daily tanties too... usually over having to do homework before going somewhere, or because they have to wash or wipe up after dinner, either way it is seriously a DAILY occurrence sadly.:
I still don't know exactly, something about her shorts???
And I didn't collect her from FDC yesterday, but every day when I do there is a *massive screaming tanty* involved with her wanting to sit in mummy's seat and drive the car!
And I'll second the older child tanties too (could be hormonal?) - only reason I missed out on one this morning (over sugar on her breakfast) was because I shut myself in the bathroom for a shower just as she was starting up. LOL
Today and yesterday it was because I took him to DS1's kindy drop off before taking him to day care. Both days he has refused to leave and I've had to carry him out kicking and screaming. Which I hate doing but I have to catch the train into work afterwards and if I miss it it's half and hour till the next one, so I can't wait too long for him to calm down. What a great start to a long day!!
I see a similar theme to alot of the situations!!
With DD, it can be anything, but recent tantrums:
because I touched the plate she was carrying (i only wanted to straighten it up for her so the toast didn't slide on the floor :rolleyes: )
because I needed her to sit/stand still to get her dressed
because we left the park
RhyB - not letting her bring outside toys inside is a frequent one here!
I was so hoping it was a phase - mind you, I personally had a bit of a tantrum and stamped my foot a few times, as DH was being infuriating and wouldn't let me have any of the hidden stash of chocolate (doesn't he know not to refuse a women, especially one who either has pms, is on her period or pg! or in other words, whenever I'm hormonal :lol: )
lol well this morning Noah cracked because I didn't let him eat dry sultana bran out of the packet...I simply put it in a bowl was even going to let him eat it without milk...it was the end of the pack so I even tried putting it back in the pack and letting him eat it out of there...but you know what they can be like once they start :rolleyes:
hmm yesterday it was because I wouldn't let ds wear his gum boots on his hands and then climb all over my bed with them on (which I just put clean sheets on).
This morning it was because I wasn't playing doctors the way he liked, even though I had no idea what he wanted me to do :)
another one this morning at 5am when he decided it was time to get up, so I brought him into bed with us and he kept poking my eyes until I finally got up. Then after he got me out of bed, he didn't want to come down stairs, so he threw himself on the ground.. its so hard to keep a straight face when he does that lol
Tantrums are a daily thing here at the moment.....
Yesterday it was because DS#3 wanted a chocolate frog. I gave him one but because it was broken in half when it came out of the packet it caused a complete meltdown....he never did eat that frog !
Havent had any issues yet today but i am sure we will.
Todays been ok but there was a wobbly about not allowing him to eat paint :rolleyes:
Hmmm.. Well today Master H brought me a lump of playdoh. He wants a cat. So I spent a good 15 minutes carefully crafting this brown lump of playdoh into a cat shape as he watches me.. Finally looking fairly feline like I present to him his transformed playdoh... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MUMMY! YOU BROKE IT! YOU BROKE MY (S)NAIL"
Doing for him exactly what he asked me to do apparently called for a good hour of screaming, dobbing me into Daddy and telling me to go away.
Sigh...
Hehehe this thread made me giggle. So far today we have had a tantrum over outside toys staying outside, and putting clothes on instead of pj's.
But for some reason ds woke up from his nap having a tantrum over nothing. He literally got up out of bed and started screaming. I went up to bring him downstairs and that made things worse- screaming at me "no, Mum, GO!!" :rolleyes: Took him ten minutes to calm down and I still don't know what started it...
