Tantruming Toddlers

 We all know it is called the terrible twos because toddlers are trying to find independence and test you.  They have many tantrums for all kinds of things.  At the time they are very frustrating, but looking back some of the tantrums were for very funny reasons.  My friend Brittney and I are constantly texting each other with reasons why our toddlers have had a  tantrum and decided to make a list of the ones we thought were funny. 


Threw a tantrum because...


  1. I poured chips into a container but he only wanted to eat them out of the bag.

  2.  I would not allow him to drink day old milk

  3. the roomba went off 

  4. daddy went to work

  5.  the channel was changed when he was watching Mickey

  6. Dada wouldn’t let him go wake Mama in the morning 

  7. Dada was in the bathroom and Mama wouldn’t help him get in

  8.  he didn’t want to sit in the high chair anymore, but turned into a tantrum because he didn’t want the high chair to be packed away either. 

  9. Mama put the batteries in his hearing aids in the morning 

  10. Mama finished her coffee and didn’t want more, no matter how much he persisted. 

  11. he wanted to take a bath in the middle of the day

  12. he wanted the green cup not the blue cup the milk was already in 

  13.  Mama threw his diaper away in the diaper genie

  15. Mama wouldn’t let him poke her in the eye

  17. grandma and mama wouldn’t let him walk down (or fall down) a hill while they were hiking

  18. grandma and mama wouldn’t let him sit at the picnic table and wanted to go on the hiking trail since that was the reason we went to the park

  19. mama took away the book that he ripped yet again

  20.  mama changed his diaper. 

  21. Dada changed his diaper, but he wanted mama to do so. 

  22. The pop tart box was empty and in the recycling bin and maybe he wanted a pop tart

  23. Daddy combed my hair

  24. Mommy wanted me to take a bath

  25. Daddy won’t play with me.

  27. Daddy won’t let me play with the beach towels in the house

  28. Mama wouldn’t let me play with the electrical outlet at the Audiologist’s office 

  29. Mommy and Daddy won’t allow me to sit in my high chair all day long

  30.  We lost power in the middle of his TV show

  31. an adult asked him to brush his teeth or get dressed
