This is way worse than toddler crying. Why did I used to think that was bad?! I can't even begin to list the reasons why my son had a hysterical crying fit this evening. I'm talking in the course of 3 hours. I'm one month into the 3s. I may not survive this.
Earlier today, as we were walking down the sidewalk, DD lost her shit because I was holding her hand. So I let go. Except then she lost it because I *wasn't* holding her hand. So I held her hand. Want to guess what happened next? Yep. She lost her shit because I was holding her hand. We went through about 4 cycles of that before I gave up and carried her. (Which of course prompted her to lose it because she wasn't walking, but too bad, kid)
This is our struggle every time we leave the gym. And only the gym. So I hold her forearm instead and always screams "STOP PINCHING ME MOMMY!!!" and people look at me like I'm a monster because I'm telling back at her that I'm not pinching. Then I realize I'm in a fight with a 2.5 yo.
I feel you @natariru. Char cried today because she had to go potty and I was making her sit on the potty. I can't even.
