| |  What started your toddlers tantrum today?
We all know that toddlers are prone to tantrums which can be triggered by the simplest of things, so what has tipped your bub over the edge lately?
Yesterday DS had a meltdown because I got him the wrong flavour of muesli bar.
Today it was because he had to wear pants.

ohhh this morning. She got in trouble for standing on a glass coffee table and was told to hop down. Apparently im a mean mummy for not wanting her to fall through it and end up in Emergency getting glass pulled out of her. Im horrible!

Gosh where to start?? It 's been a great morning here, not!
Not giving her bickies for breaky.
Not letting her drink DH coke.
Not giving her her blankie when she demanded I get off the lounge and get it for her.
Trying to help her open the bathroom door for her to go to the toilet before she pee'd herself.
Having to put undies on to go down the shops....then not letting her put a nappy on to go down the shops (I gave in on this one  so much easier to get a nappy on her than the undies!!).

Thankfully we only ever get minor tantrums. We've had two already today though.
He asked for oatmeal for breakfast then after I made it for him he asked for something else. He cried when I made him eat the oatmeal.
I made him wash his hands after peeing in a public washroom.

Jordy whacks me when he doesn't want to go down for a nap (even though he is asleep now so obviously needed it) but he flings himself face down at the drop of a hat.
I have to admit I struggle to keep a straight face, so that probably doesn't help

I wouldnt let the bucket come inside  My son has decided a bucket is #1 toy and carries it everywhere waving it like a madman.
Oh and mean mummy gave him a drink bottle of water when he wanted juice.

I don't have a toddler but DS aged 12 threw a massive wobbly about 10 mins ago over having to pick his shoes up and put them in the shoe box by the front door!  |

Far out Tinkerbell, I cling to the promise that this is a passing phase - don't dash my hopes like that!

I still don't know exactly, something about her shorts???
And I didn't collect her from FDC yesterday, but every day when I do there is a *massive screaming tanty* involved with her wanting to sit in mummy's seat and drive the car!
And I'll second the older child tanties too (could be hormonal?) - only reason I missed out on one this morning (over sugar on her breakfast) was because I shut myself in the bathroom for a shower just as she was starting up. LOL
