Why is your kid crying today?

[kershnic]

Because she doesn't have enough hair for pigtails.

[longtimenopost]

Because she's getting my cold Poor baby

[sweetday]

Because I gave him a waffle.

He doesnt speak yet so I'm not sure why he went from happy baby to hysterical baby when I handed it to him.

[drloretta]

Because Daddy drove away just as she was going to get a hug and kiss from him. She rebounded more quickly than usual, thank goodness

[magpie]

Because the dog was under the table. Because she was not allowed to have a sharpie marker to run around the house with. Because I sat on the couch to read her a book instead of the floor. Because she wanted a new diaper even though her diaper was dry/clean. After she cries for a minute or two, she comes back and announces "Audee cried. Feel better now."

[dcn]

It is almost noon and he hasn't cried yet. OMG. He was at preschool for 3 hours which helps . I'm sure it is coming.

[robyn]

Because I changed her diaper when she woke up
Because I took her pj's off
Because I put her clothes on
Because the dog looked at her
Because I put the tray on her high chair

[DarcyLongfellow]

Because she took her carseat strap off in the car while we were driving. I saw it in the mirror and told her to put it back on. Then she listened to me and tried to put it back on, she got her arm stuck in the strap. And it was a couple minutes before I could pull over and help her.

If anyone has any tricks for keeping kids from trying to unfasten their carseat straps while driving, I'm all ears.

[soso]

I almost gave her the Minnie cup. How could I?

[jr009j]

Because I didn't wait for her to finish her show before I worked out. And because she doesn't have her own weights at home.

DD2 has cried about everything today.

[t]

Not today, but on Sunday DD1 had a full-on meltdown because she wanted to drive our SUV and I wouldn't let her.

[bronxgirl]

Because I didn't buy her a Rainbow Dash costume at Costco. Also because she doesn't want to join a kids' dance company from her studio, but hopefully I can eventually change her mind on that.

[MadamePresident]

No big meltdowns, but Chase did cry because the big broom wouldn't fit sideways through the door.

[boxerdog]

Because I wouldn't let him dive headfirst out the doggie door.

Oh wait, that is EVERY DAY.

[rxbeth]

Holy shit, everything today. Today is the suck.

Doesn't want to jump in the pool for swim lessons. Really has to pee (to avoid jumping pool at swim lessons). Wants to wear backpack while wet. Doesn't want to pee before nap. and on and on and on.

[catsarecute]

Because another morning passed where she didn't get a graham cracker after her breakfast. She asks EVERY SINGLE MORNING and the answer is always no. I thought maybe she would get it by now. I know she is young but she generally has a great understanding when we explain things to her. NO CRACKER!

[gretchenindisguise]

Because I wouldn't let him climb into the dishwasher. Or the freezer.

DS is 3.5 and asks for gummy bears for his morning snack EVERY DAY. The answer is always no. He has asked EVERY MORNING for at LEAST the last 3 months. What the hell kid, the answer is NO.

[Blue Moon]

Because I wouldn't let her paint my face with applesauce. I also wouldn't let her paint her own face.
Because I prevented her from diving headfirst off the bed.
Because there was a sleepsack in the laundry pile I was folding and she thought it was time for a nap.

[namasteak]

Because I put his left leg into his shorts first.

I put him in the car seat.

I took him out of the car seat.

I have him the wrong grape.

[namasteak]

Oh he wanted to wear his shirt they gave him at swim lessons but it is way too big on him (3t and he is in 18-24mo). He freaked out when I said no so I decide to let him. And then he freaked out when I tried to put shorts on him so I left them off. It looked ridiculous but kind of like he was wearing a too big dress.

We went to 2 doctors appointments and breakfast like that.

[niq]

Because he can't wear fuzzy pants every day.
Because it's someone else's birthday.
Because I brushed his teeth after he didn't brush his teeth.
Because we took away dinner after he threw it on the floor.
Because someone's in the kitchen making dinner and he can't watch.

[halfpint]

Because he wanted the gate at the bottom of the stairs closed.
Because he wanted to go upstairs.
Because he wanted to go downstairs.
Because I wouldn't let him climb into the washing machine.
Because I took his shoes off.
Because I gave a cracker to the nanny's child (he had one in his mouth and two in his hands already).
Because I said he couldn't take the cracker from the nanny's child.

It's a good day!

[osulori]

Last night:

-We wouldn't let him hold his giant Avengers ball while he ate dinner.
-I told him no, he could not throw tub water on the bathroom floor.

I haven't seen him yet today. I'll update later.

[tulips]

Because all four of his two-year molars are coming through.

Because her two bottom front teeth are coming through.

Screw teething. I'm about to cry!

I'm sorry for both of us The toddler whining is killing me!

[melsamoony]

Because his top front teeth are coming in.
Because he can't feed the dog.
Because he can't feed the cat.
Because I gave him milk in a sippy cup.
Because I wouldn't let him unfold the laundry I folded.

He has cried all day so....pretty much everything.

[SJ]

I WISH I KNEW!

She was hilariously trantruming the other night at dinner. We seriously had zero idea why or what was going on.

I had to hide my laughter because it was so pathetic/ridiculous/whatever.

I told DD that if she did this she could really get hurt and never see mommy and daddy again. And that it was really dangerous. She never did it again (she had done it twice prior). She also said "don't unsnap it, its dangerous" every time we got in the carseat for about 2 weeks. But it worked.

That's what I did with DD1, and she never did it again. DD2 doesn't care I'll keep trying though!
