Monday Meltdowns

[TheEleventhHour]

Happy Monday! Let's share our latest meltdowns - whether they're ours or our LOs!

[TheEleventhHour]

So lately DS has been having huge meltdowns when he asks for something and then I give him what he asks for. It makes no sense to me at all. Kid, I can see you asking for something and me saying no warranting a meltdown but why do you freak when you get what you want?! Toddlers are such irrational creatures.

Meltdowns everywhere here lately. All related to DD still being sick.

Meltdown because she woke up.
Meltdown because she's tired but won't go to sleep.
Meltdown because her milk isn't in the right cup.
Meltdown because she's hungry but her throat hurts so she's not eating much.
And it goes on...

I had a good cry last night because I'm just so tired. 4 nights in a row of barely any sleep and she wants nothing to do with DH so I've been the only one really taking care of her.

I'm off work and home with her again today until we find out for sure if it's strep.

TheEleventhHour r does that sometimes first thing in the am. She'll wake up and ask for leche. And I'll give it to her and she cries. She'll ask to put shoes on and I do and she screams.

Let's see. Past 3 days have been challenging with the clean up. You tell her to clean up and it takes 10 times and 2 hours.

Yesterday I tried counting down starting 10 min before I wanted her to be cleaning up and warned her every minute. I told her "in __ minutes we are going to clean up." 10x. And with every warning she threw herself on the ground. But shockingly enough she actually cleaned up when time was up. And then threw a tantrum about having to go to bed and brush her teeth. But I guess I'll take it.

Everytime she refuses to clean up i tell her mommy is going to put this toy away since you are not cleaning it up. I know probably not the best parenting but she will literally dump a bin of toys everywhere and not even play with them. Just wants to dump them. So far this weekend we've lost blocks, play food and elmo puzzles.

I almost had a meltdown just thinking about her current behavior and how we will soon have a newborn here.

@aeroplaneoverthesea yeah last time i took r somewhere like that i was freaking exhuasted and irritated with all the other parents. Like you said you're making sure your kid isn't stealing another's toys or like me making sure they're not going up the slide, just down it but nobody else is. I really want to take R out but fear for my sanity after. It sounds exhuasting.

Because we had to get changed.
Because I put her hair up.
Because we had to go to grandmas
Because we had to go home
Because I had to change her diaper

I'm going to have a meltdown that i literally put r down only 15 min late because we went to lunch with a friend and she's been in there for 1 hour and 15 min and is still going strong. I told her she could color this mimi poster we picked up after her nap and now I'm going to have to say no and wait til tomorrow. I usually will let her do this for up to 2 hours when i give up. Then dh gives me some crap about how I'm doing it wrong. And i cannot tell you the last time he put her down - his idea is to close all curtains and turn everything off til she literally passes out. That's not putting her down for a nap dh...

I guess since she slept in til 815 she feels no need for a nap today.

I'm stressed because neither my husband nor my father are in good health right now and my dad's is really bad--he was just diagnosed this morning with cardiomyopathy. So I'm distracted by all of that so of course DD is a huge Whitney grouchbutt today and if she whines one more time my head will explode. She does this grunting thing when she's frustrated. It's THE most annoying sound today.

[TheEleventhHour]

martha919 Sorry to hear about your dad and husband. I hope they are both feeling better soon.
