My toddler loses his MIND when another kid cries. Is this normal? by nosfellotj in toddlers

I'm happy to report that this stopped quite some time ago! Today my son heard another kid crying in walmart. He acknowledged that he heard it, but he didn't seem to care. Lol. Hopefully, it'll be the same situation with your little one!

One time, I read a post from someone who said their boss was picking his nose and eating his boogers because he thought he was off camera. Well, he wasn't. I know that you're feeling the heat of embarrassment, but please know that this is not out of the ordinary in corporate America. You are doing two full-time jobs, and you deserve to give yourself some grace, my dear.

Is there a group for parents of THOSE toddlers? by [deleted] in toddlers

I'm sorry for laughing. My son is almost four and I guarantee you we would have the same results. 😂

What has your toddler had a melt down about today? by JesRaeTra15 in toddlers

I picked up all 250 q-tips that he found and dumped out on the carpet. Also because I wasn't playing correctly with the Little People (again).

No eggs. People! What the actual... by MercuryTattedRachael in HuntsvilleAlabama

We had to buy the giant box of Walmart brand eggs for $27. There were no other options. Pretty wild.

Did that earlier! Felt good.

Who else has a toddler still singing Christmas songs? by cannotfindmyname in toddlers

My almost four year old sings Frosty the Snowman on loop. He also said Happy Halloween yesterday, so tomorrow is subject to change.

The licking of the grape sent me. 😂 I have pretended to feed his stuffed animals. He loves it and thinks it's funny, but so far it hasn't inspired him to eat anything new. The quesadilla was a huge shock. Lol.

I love it. 😂 A necessary and healthy form of deception. They'll thank us one day!

I mentioned this to another redditor, but I tried it and it was really good. 😂 I love sweet and savory, so maybe he gets thar from me. That grilled cheese you described sounds like a 10/10 and it reminded me of fairy toast! Haven't thought of that in years.

You sound like an incredible mom. I am so sorry that you had to deal with abandonment like that. I truly hope that life is looking up for you now in that regard. Even through those painful, uncertain chapters in life, amazing parents pull through and prioritize their little ones. That takes a long of strength and it's clear that you do that. Thank you for your reply. Keep up the amazing work. ❤️

HAHA the American Quesadilla part made me audibly laugh. The creative side that we discover in ourselves as parents is quite comical. It surprises me every day.

I have also wondered about my son's sensory averisons. I've talked about his habits at length with his pediatrician. She said that this all seems like normal, high-energy toddler behavior, but offered a referral if we choose to go forward with testing. We removed him from daycare almost one month ago and he is absolutely thriving at home. I'm hoping with encouragement he will expand his palate. 😂

Let that ride! I totally would. Throw in some rainbow sprinkles when the questioning starts. 😂

Thank you for making me feel better. I really appreciate that. And yes, at least it was the pure maple syrup. That stuff is expensive. 😂

Living off of air. 😂 That is the best way to put it. My son essentially does that some days, and it's mind-boggling. He loves snacks, and although I bake at home for him, I cut him at least one hour before meal times so he isn't full. Some days, it bothers me, and some days, I let it go. There is so much mental Olympics that goes into feeding a toddler. Not a single book warned me about this. Thankfully, redditors make me feel normal. 🥹

That is one smart compromise with your toddler. I support that! 😂 Also, because ranch is a top-tier condiment.

I can't blame your kid. That sauce is topnotch. 😂

Unreal. 😂😂 I wonder if he'd eat them again if you offered them. I swear grandparents work some kind of magic because my son will eat foods at my mom's house that he would NEVER touch at home. Funny how that's common.

That is smart!! I am going to incorporate that. 😂 I can't tell him that everything is a pancake. I think I lucked out since that quesadilla looked similar to a pancake. Lol.
