Jerk Toddlers

Seems like many of us are currently experiencing this. Vent/post here.

[jennyinheaven]

microworm your granola bar post made me think of this. She brought all of her toast to me this morning saying it was "big". I cut it smaller....she laid on the floor and screamed too small! TOO SMall

[lrmrtn]

In the last 24 hours:

- I got him the juice he asked for but it wasn't in the right cup.
- Daddy picked him up at DC.
- He didn't want to go inside when he got home from DC. Keep in mind it was 30 degrees last night.
- He asked DH the whole way home for me and then when he got home and I came to greet him, he hid behind DH.
- Daddy went the wrong way when chasing him.
- It was time for bed.
- He couldn't bring his balloons to DC so he refused to put his jacket on.

[comicSans]

Generally now when Dd gets frustrated/mad she throws something down and lets out a long scream. Super fun.

At dinner if we tell her she must try something, sometimes she tries, sometimes she just yells NOOOOOO! There's no predicting which reaction we'll get.

[bliz1712]

She just can't make up her mind. "I want to walk" so I put her down. Less than a minute later, she drops to the floor crying like it's the end of the world. "I want you to carry me!"

[lrmrtn]

+ whatever to the indecisiveness. "carry, no by self." "I want to watch Thomas." 5 seconds later "I want to watch Mickey."

[becole]

H left the room and came back and DS1 said "I not hurt him" referring to his brother.
Also screaming loudly and scaring the baby when he's sleeping or just woke up. He will go into the babies room to wake him up if you don't watch him.

My mom forgot her cell phone at my house yesterday. DD1 was going to go with DH to drop it at her house after dinner. Time to put shoes on..."I don't want to go to Gram's!" Five minutes later when I ask her to start getting ready for bed..."I want to go to Gram's and bring her phoooooooone!!!! Sorry kid, tgat ship has sailed.

J always does this!

Yesterday we had a fit at my grandparents because she wanted to go play in the road. I had to deadbolt their doors to keep her in.

Jakob is suffering from PMS.

Pissy munchkin syndrome.

He is mad today because our Windows are open.

[comicSans]

Dh started to cut a piece of chicken for dd for dinner because obviously she's not going to eat the whole piece. Tantrum. I don't want it cut!!!! So he gave her the whole piece, which proved very difficult to eat. Then she wanted it cut up with a fork, not a knife. Dh used her fork and a knife which was deemed satisfactory. Then she dipped some in her apple juice.

[athn64]

DD1 just poured toilet water into the tub with DD2.

DS also refused to eat his pork chop last night because it was cut up and he needed a "big one" like mom & dad. 🙄

[haykay13]

I showed DS his new soccer jersey and apparently this was very offensive.

[comicSans]

At the grocery store:
I just don't know where potty is?

Do you have to use the potty?

Yeah

I confirm 5 times. Pull her out of the cart, walk to bathroom, get her on the toilet. Of courses, adding an extra challenge, I'm wearing ds.

I don't have to pee pee.
You have to poop?
Nope.
You don't have to use the potty?
No.

Ajdbehsusuejsjej!!

She just needs to know where it is. Just in case mom!

[becole]

I told DS1 daddy was fixing the toilet because it was broken.
He said "my little potty is broke?"

No, the big potty. The one with actual water that drains out of it.

[emmagk]

DS threw a fit because he dropped a bobby pin into the toilet while peeing on it and i flushed it away instead of letting him fish it out. So many tears for "MY STICK"

DS did this today but with a portapotty. I was so pissed about he extra time I had to spend in a portapotty.

[britab]

Yesterday no nap. I put her back a million times and she yelled no she wasn't napping.

Today she napped and peed a ton in her bed. First nap accident.

I tried to go shopping alone yesterday, but Dd wanted to come. First store she was like, hey there's a potty over there, and wanted to see it. So I guess we're in that stage now where we must visit all the potties just to see.

We've had a few nap accidents when Dd actually naps so we usually make sure she's in a pull-up or diaper. H forgot the diaper yesterday, and of course she actually napped and woke up soaked.

[footloose]

Total jerk right now.

Tells me how hungry she is and wants dinner. I made pulled pork and some salad and she ate one bite as usual and then said yuck!

I ate my dinner and then tried to get her to eat and she refused. I let her down and then she says "I want a brownie" I said "No, go eat your dinner"

I am in the living room and hear a crash. She pulled the brownies down off of the wooden chopping block and was walking away with them quickly (they were still encased in a plastic bag, but other stuff had come down)

She is screaming her head off thinking she is getting them.

Oh man

[jcrewgirl]

I made her take a nap.

She sighed, rolled her eyes at me and muttered under her breath, "Oh my God, Mom. You're just like Ursula".

[ksyknelvr73]

DS2 decided to piss his underwear 3 times yesterday. Simply b/c I was at home with him and not daddy. If we are both home, he's fine - if just DH is home, he's fine. But if I am the one at home? Nope.

He also told me last night as I was trying to put lotion on him before his pajamas (after bath, he has severe eczema) "You're stupid." Oh.

This is cracking me up because that sounds like my DS. 

Everything is "his."

He found scissors this weekend and of course I took them away and he was screaming "MY SCISSOS!! I NEED MY SCISSORS!" he also randomly needs "my flashlight."

We go even further and claim the Moon.  When it's dark out she always has to find "My Moon!"  And sometimes in the morning she sees it and claims it!
