Reasons My Toddlers Throw Tantrums

March 9, 2016 By Michelle 2 Comments

Toddlers & Tantrums. They just go hand in hand. 

They don’t call it threenager for nothing. Toddlers are fickle tiny humans. One minute they are playing trains and watching Daniel Tiger

Tanner-52

Then two seconds later, someone looked at them funny and it’s the end of the world. 

Tanner-58

The tricky thing about tantrums are the element of surprise. One minute you are mom of the year making a delicious and well balanced breakfast for the family. You get them all set up at the table and next thing you know, you are the jerk that dared to serve them their milk in the blue cup! THE BLUE CUP!!!! I mean seriously, the nerve. 

These are ever changing, but here is a recent list of reasons my toddlers throw tantrums. 

  • They don’t want to “go” – even though it has been made very clear that we aren’t going anywhere
  • Someone ate all their goldfish (spoiler alert: it was them)
  • I won’t let them throw the car keys in the potty
  • I gave them their juice in the wrong color cup. 
  • They want to go to Chick-fil-a on a Sunday, and it’s not open 
  • The dog sneezed
  • Their water was too spicy ( yeah, I don’t know either)
  • They wanted to wear only their underwear to school
  • They didn’t want me to turn “dis way” they wanted me to go “dat way” 
  • Their sister talked to them
  • Their sister looked at them
  • Their sister was in the same room as them
  • They wanted to drive
  • PawPatrol was over
  • I wouldn’t let them get in the oven
  • I bought boy pull-ups with their favorite dinosaur on them
  • I wouldn’t let them eat the hand sanitizer 
  • I put too many bubbles in their bath
  • I didn’t put enough bubbles in their bath (this was all during the same bath time of course)
  • The basket at Target was Red (has it ever been anther color)
  • I stopped at the Stop sign
  • I said good morning
  • I wouldn’t turn the A/C on in the car when it was 32 degrees outside
  • I wouldn’t let them eat mulch at the park

Tanner-20All totally rational I think. 

What are some of the completely rational reasons your toddler throws tantrums?

    Gosh, you’re such a horrible mother! Oh, my!!! At least at 4 and 6, the tantrums make a little more sense. Hang in there, friend. (And if you were to get rid of the offending blue cup, that would suddenly be their favorite. You just can’t win with a threenager.) BTW – what do you call it when they are 4 and act that way?

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too!
