These are always good for a laugh. I'll start!
DD is crying because she wants Annie (the dog) to lick her...on the mouth. Like she is trying to shove her face into Annie's face to get her to do it. And I said No. I'm so mean! 😜
One of many times a day she's crying. Because her sister was in timeout and not bathing with her. This was just before bath Kissing sister on the monitor.
Because I wouldn't let her use Harley dog as a jungle gym. Because I set her down. Because I picked her up. Because I took her out of the bath. Pretty much everything is making her cry right now. Teeth?
Because I won't let her play with the stereo. Because she doesn't want to be in the high chair to eat. In a few minutes it will be because I'm changing her diaper and taking her pj's off.

Yeah it's been awful. I stayed home with them on Tuesday and let my husband spend the day with Gracie at the hospital bc they just had meltdowns when I was trying to leave. My heart is broken not being able to be momma to everyone right now.

And ours from last night -- DD3 cried because when I opened the oven to get out the food, I wouldn't let her grab the 400° hot oven rack.
If you ask her, I also regularly violate her tiny human rights by not letting her dump my hot tea all over herself.
DD2's most ridiculous from yesterday was because I told her she couldn't have gummy bears for dinner ("BUT I DECIDE ABOUT MEEEEEEEE!!" is her battle-cry lately)
And DD1's was because DH told her to sit right on her chair at the dinner table so she didn't spill food all over the floor.

NellieOleson, the "I decide about me" is actually a very difficult thing to manage. On the one hand, I want to encourage self-determination and empower her to say no if she gets in uncomfortable situations. But she can't have gummy bears for dinner. So I compromise by saying things like, "I will put things on the table that are ok for dinner and THEN you can decide which ones you want and how much you want to eat." Or if it's time to go to preschool and she pulls it out. "BUT I DECIDE ABOUT MEEEEEEEE!!" Well, yes, dear, but not about whether you go to preschool. It's basically just me trying to show her that I set up the boundaries and she can move freely within them.
crimsonandclover, NellieOleson that sounds tough to manage. I see that in our future because my LO is very independent. I think it would be even harder for me with a girl though because I would be even more concerned about cultivating independence. With my little guy I think the world is set up better for him.
Mine from today: because I wouldn't let him feed himself applesauce with a spoon. Hell to the no to cleaning applesauce from the ceiling.
I'm laughing because yesterday I let dd feed herself a purée. She did pretty good and then it turned into her scooping it out with her hands and slathering it all over her chest and belly.
Yea. I can't get down with the sloppy spoon feeds. He just takes it and flings it all over. I can handle giving him control of the fork. But dear god, no purees!

DD3 cried on Wednesday because when I picked her up from daycare I talked to her teacher too long, she went back into her teacher's arms, and then she didn't want to come back to me and was gripping her teacher's shirt and crying. I mean, it's great she loves her teacher so much, but she's gotta learn priorities. Mom, Dad, then teacher. Her teacher really is great, though. I'd probably want to stay with her, too, if I had the choice between her and me.
Today she had a nuclear level melt down becasue I wouldn't let her hold and drink from my lacroix herself. Also in the grocery story because hangry. Thank god for the yogurt lady passing out samples.

Because I took away the toy he was using to bang on the entertainment center.
I'm trying to teach him "no". I tell him no once and move him away from whatever it is I don't want him to be doing. I told him no and moved him and his block back to his toys. Well he walked his little butt back to the entertainment center, looked right at me I swear to god, and started banging on it again.
That's when mean old mom took the block away.
It irritates me when I hear H tell him no 16 times and never actually stops him from doing whatever it is he shouldn't be doing. The word is going to be meaningless.
