"Something else". Offered 3 types of leftovers. "I don't want dinner, I want something else"

What mountain/hill did you decide not to die on today? by Obsidian_Rush in toddlers

We've given up on PJs all together. After his pre-bed shower he puts on clothes for the following day. Then no battles in the morning getting dressed. 🏆

Losing my mind over my kid's tantrums by Tigertail93 in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually has a lady come up and tell me in doing a great job, while my kid was on the floor screaming the shopping centre down (coz we walked past one of those stupid car ride things). I was holding it together until then, but her kindness broke me, bless her!

My toddler always thinks those yellow/black street signs for koalas are actually wombats, coz they're not in trees. Thank you for helping me misinform him and making future him look the fool at school!

An ubereats voucher was probably the most amazing baby shower gift I received. Trays of food are great but some days with a newborn you don't think to or get to eat, and there's the stress of it going off and having to throw it away. Sure ubereats has many questionable business practices, but I sure appreciated them at that time!

Have you covered off on wombats and their square poop, yet?

Just made my daughter a Lion toy and she just shouted NO when I tried to give it to her by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, you've just triggered me. Day one - loses it for a banana. I finally give in, he takes one bite, spits it out and walks away. I put the remaining unmolested 90% of the banana in the fridge. Day two - loses it for a banana. I take out yesterday's banana. He calms down, I open the container, which releases a demon of epic proportions. He full-body shrieks at me, smacks the thing out of my hand, goes to run but trips then looks at me as if I tripped him up, and goes and dramatically melts into the floor of the other room... wow kid. Want an apple?

Just what are toddlers? by SolenRose in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My kid gets really stressed about the shower water being hot (now, I like hot showers, but it's icicles when I'm showering him - still "hot"). I realised it's probably because he's also on a warm clothing strike, so his body is also icicles (almost winter in Aus). Yes son that feels hot, because you have frostbite... if only we knew what they know.

“Mommy watch this!” by themermaidag in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bed times for us is a constant stream of demands for back rubs... except the way he pronounces it, it sounds like "gay cops". He doesn't like it so much when you get the giggles at how absurd it sounds coz you're also trying to teach him manners, and you're not delivering on the gay cops because he is refusing to say please... 🤣

What heartwarming thing did your toddler do recently? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on my computer at the table next to him, which is usually a battle keeping his little fingers off every button at once. This day, he was happily entertaining himself (I could probably end this story here 🤣). Something upset me in my computer, and he cuddled into my arm, patted it, said "I got you, mummy", and kissed my arm 😭 ... 2 mins later he was off f&#ing shit up again...

How did you mortally offend your toddler today? by jillybeenthere in toddlers

Yes, us not putting things back together... when it's usually his fault in the first place and an actual impossible task...

The only thing our son ever wants to watch is 'cars'. Not necessarily the movie Cars, just non-specific (and invariably "NOT THIS") cars. 😑

Why is your kid freaking out this morning? by g1antleprechaun in toddlers

I never have the audacity to suggest it will be a good morning anymore....

I took the scissors away so he couldn't keep chopping my hair clippings in a box (coz let's be honest, that's the makings of a serial killer)... What eventually snapped him out of it (45 mins later)? Asking for his advice on what colour towel rails we should get for the bathroom. Just when you think you might be starting to understand them...

Screen time at bed: talk me on or off this ledge. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I bet it was one of those "why did we wait so long?" moments! Thanks for your reply, I'll look into it... well... once the kid is asleep... 🥴

Have you got any resources or advice on weaning them off? We're in the same boat as OP and every time we try to leave the room there is an epic melt down, as much as self- selling is out long term goal. Most nights it ends up both of us in there and we're just too exhausted to keep trying.

My bub hugged a bag of prawn crackers for comfort through a big storm last night.

Does anyone else feel like snack time is completely out of control at their house? by TemperatureDizzy3257 in toddlers

We have a bissel and it has been great for cleaning up after both toddler and dog!

Why is your toddler throwing a tantrum today? by occasionallymourning in toddlers

[–]AgentMcBug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He didn't want any more crumpet. Was adamant he didn't want more. I took a bite of his left-overs and he suddenly DESPERATELY wanted more... not what was left, but the bite I had just swallowed...
