Tantrum Tuesday

[vthokie]

You know you have them...on the daily.

Around here, it's been all about the mini tantrum. Get super pissed about something, then "ooh, shiny" she's distracted. There has been a lot of stress over inability to properly communicate lately....or, my inability to properly understand what she is so CLEARLY trying to tell me.

Here we have anger over my improper shoe wearing


And then, my lack of saying the word "pop" while she was popping bubble in the book. I'm a horrible mother.

Caleb's currently having a tantrum because I won't let him have his sister's waffle. This is after he ate the better part of a pound of strawberries (including stealing his sister's before she got to them) and his own waffle.

And now he's moved on. At least until he realizes she still has food and he doesn't.

OMG VTHokie, she is hilarious. I love the mini tantrum in the first one ... and how she kind of just leaves in the second one ... like, "Screw this ..."

Melody spent the morning in a tantrum. I have been sleeping soooo badly the last few days. I am up every hour. Sharing a room with a noisy sleeping baby and a DH who has allergies and SNORES is not fun. So I went to take a nap after the little darling woke up. Poor DH and MIL spent an hour and a half trying to calm her and it just didn't work. They tried a walk, they tried playing, eating. Nothing.

Then they got the hot tub filled and let her play and now Amma (grandma) is her best friend.

Kudos to DH for handling it well, though.

Also, we have entered the increasingly loud and desperate "that?" when she wants something. It gets to where she points and so pathetically says "that? that? that?" until she starts to cry if we don't figure out what the "that" is that she is pointing at. So we try everything in her line of sight until she is happier. It works sometimes.

This is us too. SHe SCREAMS "what's that?" All.The.Time. The screaming is ridiculous, and if you don't answer her in a timely fashion, it gets louder.

I wish just answering worked! She must hold it, or drink it or eat it. NOW!! Forget about all happiness if it is something she is not allowed to have or if god forbid you hold the cup wrong.

Owen is becoming very independent during evening walks. Last night while H was being a terrible father (you know, just preventing short stack from running out onto the road, truly horrible) Owen started to pitch a fit and actually bit H's hand. I'm so not happy that this has started.

This is definitely going on in our house, how we can we be so dense?!?!

Jake now brings me the remote and says "Shek" for Shrek. We've created a Shrek monster. If I say no he has an epic tantrum.

This is us too, but with "more". More of what, child?! We try everything in the general pointing direction and hope to hit the lotto before she loses her patience and throws a fit!

The title of this thread perfectly describes my day so far. The following has caused a tantrum:

I changed his diaper.
I wouldn't let him have a brownie for breakfast.
I wouldn't let him eat even more blueberries.
I wouldn't give him my smoothie after he finished his.
I wouldn't let him play with a candle.

Our most recent big meltdown was last night at the park when she decided it might be fun to join in a group of teenagers playing basketball and I stopped her. Sorry I don't want you to get trampled!
