Why my child is crying today...

[mel7806]

Stole this idea from the toddler board, but STM+, why is your child crying today? Today my child cried because she doesn't want to get off the potty seat (even though she has already gone) because she is using the tablet.

[busterrose]

I have to pick just one? My daughter cried because she asked for fishes (Goldfish crackers) and I gave them to her. After I got her to calm down she said she wanted graham crackers.

[jcar]

Hmm... Why hasn't my child cried today?

He cried because he wanted in the shower with me so DH put him in. He then cried because he was in the shower.

DS cried today because we toasted the waffle he asked for from the freezer. Then he cried because I washed the raspberries before I let him eat them. Then he cried because I gave him the blue bowl instead of the orange bowl. I could go on...lol.

Why hasn't my child cried today?
He cried because I wouldn't give chocolate until after lunch. Then he cried because the tablet was dead because he snuck it earlier and killed the battery. Then he cried because he wanted to brush his teeth everytime he went potty in his bathroom, so I made him go into the other bathroom. Then he cried because he didn't want to pick up his toys. He has cried for literally every reason one can think of.

Because he dipped his cheesy bread in the marinara sauce that he asked for.

Because I got him the plate he asked for but wanted another one by the time I got done fixing his plate.

Because DH won't let him drink beer.

Because, because, because, because!

[chilibeansm0m]

Because i won't let her eat cocos (cookies) all day.

Because i came to pick her up after work.

Because she needs a nap.

Because she woke up from a nap.

Because i changed her diaper.

[bnizzlebizzle]

Because she doesn't want to take a bath.

Because she doesn't want to get out of the bath.

Because the blanket on her shoulders keeps falling off and she doesn't like it tied.

OMG with the teeth brushing! I am so glad she will have great oral hygiene but every 4 bites of almost every meal, she turns to me or her dad and says "Look how dirty my teeth are! Let's go brush'em!"

[luckystarz]

Because she "doesn't like to get wet" aka take a bath, but asked to go swimming 10 seconds later. Seriously kid?

Because she didn't like the color of the leggings that match the dress she picked out.

DS went through a phase where he HATED brushing his teeth. So my mom told him that sugar bugs would eat his teeth if he didn't brush them. Now he is OBSESSED with sugar bugs eating his teeth and pretty much breaks down every single time we tell him "You are fine. We will brush your teeth when you're done eating for the day." It's kind of outrageous.

[frecklesinside]

I changed her out of her "mingming" (penguin) pajamas clearly before she was ready...

[snarkysparklefart]

I'm in the club of why hasn't mine cried today too (although to us, it's more like why hasn't she screamed)

[southmyst]

Because I locked the cat and dog in their bedroom while the house gets shown by the realtors. And yes, my pets have a whole bedroom.
Because I wouldn't give her Cheetos, then because I did give her Cheetos
Because I can't easily carry her anymore
Because she asked to go to bed but then didn't want to be in bed

[stephy129]

She cried because I had the nerve to ask her to use toilet paper on each visit to the bathroom. She is five so this is ridiculous!

[drudolph11]

This is seriously cracking me up, im sorry I have no kids yet and im sure I will not find it nearly as funny when its actually happening to me!

[mommyofkaylin]

Because her doc mcstuffins hamper that I just bought her was left at the sitters house because she's obsessed with it and has been taking it with her everywhere.

Seriously though, I snorted reading these. Hilarious.

[atangiblewish]

Because she suddenly wants to carry her blanket everywhere. If I take it for a split second she goes nuts!

DS has a monkey he takes with him EVERYWHERE. He named it Gum when he was like 1. He has been attached to it ever since. Putting that thing through the wash is like world war 3. And if he doesn't know where it is, he about dies. Not to mention, that monkey is about as big as he is, and has definitely seen better days. We bought him a brand new version of the exact same monkey, and he hugs it, then walks away. Not interested at all.

[chunkymonkeylvr]

Because I put him in the tub and then again because I took him out.

No its pretty funny most of the time. At least for me.

Agreed, I regularly flat out laugh at my kids when they're being ridiculous or acting like assholes. Mine usually stop and look at me, then shake their heads and walk off.

[rquinlin]

Because we left school at the end go the day.
Because her bow wasn't in the "right" place in her hair.
Because she tripped over her toys she had strewn across the house.
Because I made her pick up said toys after drying original tears.
Because I wouldn't let her sleep in my bed.

All of this happened between the hours of 3:30 and 8:30. It was one of those days.

What she said!

[mel7806]

Also agreed. I have no problem laughing at my kids when they are being overly dramatic

[jessuh]

Let's see.. Because I took her Minnie pjs off even though I quickly replaced it with a Minnie tshirt so we could go out

Because she didn't want to sit on the potty after she said "poopoo potty" and pulled me to the bathroom

Because while sitting on the training potty, she wanted her stuffed kitty to sit on the actual potty next to her

Because she woke up and only had one sock on (she took the other off and then passed out in the car)

Then, because I took the other sock off

She really didn't throw any especially crazy fits today, but she was quite the cranky pants earlier this week

[mamajack86]

Well where to start!
-He cried because he wanted to be held while I cooked breakfast (then again at lunch and dinner)
-Because I took my nail polishes away from him
-Because our dog didn't want to be held
-Because I couldn't figure out what he wanted (he's 18mo and doesn't talk)
-Because he needed to nap

We'll see the drama that will unfold tomorrow.

[jessuh]

These were from a few days ago when I told her she couldn't watch Mickey

[clarue12]

I'm glad I'm not alone in laughing at my DD when she cries over ridiculous stuff. DH things I'm so mean when I do it but he only sees a fraction of the meltdowns we have throughout the day. We didn't have any moments today, but some days DD just makes me face palm and wonder where she gets it.

[luckystarz]

jessuh she is gorgeous, even when crying.
