Please tell me I am not alone.
What seemingly insane things have your kids lost it over??

She looks like an angel…but we call her ‘The Destroyer’ – creating chaos wherever she goes (and all the while YELLING or GROWLING).
ha ha ha we call our smallest ‘Lucky I’m Cute’
A friend and I were just (minutes ago) talking about this very same thing. For my son, we asked him to take off his helmet when he was done riding his bike. Meltdown.
It’s always the seemingly normal, every day things that cause the biggest meltdowns isn’t it!?!?
You are not alone. Last weeks effort by Mr 3 was losing plot over not getting to stand on the purple spot at Ready Steady Go Kids sports program. He even laid on the floor! xx
oh dear… a public impossible meltdown is the worst. *hugs*
Ahh yes… My 18 month old angel couldn’t contain herself when I was unable to put back together the apple she had half eaten! Poor love. What I wouldn’t give for a magic wand…
oh I am so with you… a magic wand or the ability to change the laws of physics would be so handy!
Almost-2-year-old to me: Read book mummy!
Me: Sure! Sounds good. Which one?
Almost-2-year-old: *kicking, screaming, sobbing*
Me: ????!
oh where do I start!???! :)
Yesterday my Miss 2 was carried through the front door, making heartbreaking sobbing noises. “Shes upset because she cant fly like the birdy” announced miss 11. “Hmmm, did you run? Did you flap your arms really hard?” I asked. “Yes, tried to fly, cant do it!” Said miss 2 before folding over in great, hiccupping sobs.
This went on for about half an hour. With her begging for a birdy costume – with wings, so that she can fly too. In the end the heartbreak got too much for me and I told a little white lie. “Well, I said, I shall just look on ebay and see if I can get you a birdy suit with wings and hopefully, then, you can fly.” Baby Yuna’s face lit up, she laughed through her tears, “Thank you mumma, love you.” She said, before wrapping me in a big hug.
Miss 11 looks at me and whispers “boy is she gonna be upset when she finds out that wont work!” I must admit, Miss 11 has a point but hopefully little miss Yuna will forget in the meantime. If not, well for a few more days at least, she can imagine she might be able to fly.
Oh dear….
I have taken to the habit of just agreeing with my toddler when he refuses to accept the laws of the universe. “yep, that’s right… Daddy is home right now, even though he is actually still at work”. It makes me feel better for a moment… but it never ends well! LOL
At age 3 my son had a TWO HOUR tantrum because I (apparently) accidently splashed him with imaginary water from my imaginary hose when we were playing a game (inside on my bed) where he was pretending to be a kangaroo jumping around in the garden and I was pretending to be a very surprised gardener trying to water my plants.
Oh I feel your pain… just when you think you are being the most awesomest parent ever, the world tilts and everything comes crashing down around you.
Hmmm I have a 5 year old like that. Changed her pillow slip the other night – the world ended! Well laugh about these things when they’re older. Xx
Oh you are so right!
We already laugh about the crazy things our nine year old twins did when they were little… it all seems such a long time ago now… I need to remember that.
I am a third grade teacher and one of students became angry and crying uncontrollably because someone took the piece of notebook paper that he wanted.
Last night Mr 2 1/2 lost it over the last strawberry. He said “it has a bad bit” & threw it at me”, so I said “well I’ll eat it, yum,” & popped it in with a smile. We then endured 45 minutes of screaming, sobbing & “you ate my strawberry”. I should have known better…
This was a while ago now, but when my daughter was 4 – she lost the plot because i beat her at Snakes and Ladders LOL It involved much tears and tantrums, and even a phone call to daddy at work to dob me in for ” beating her”.
