Blogs about kids crying or parents drinking wine to self-medicate tantrum induced headaches are not anything new. Clearly lots of parents have tiny humans that whine or cry for ridiculous reasons. So much so that we feel the need to vent about it on the interwebs. I’ve made many a virtual toast to a parent in the universe who also has a three year old that does the exact opposite of what you expect him to do when you give him exactly what he asked for. The exact opposite being a craptastic meltdown because you gave him the sandwich he wanted for lunch. You just didn’t cut it in half. You left it whole. You idiot. It must be another one of those phases that prompt positive thinkers to repeat the mantra “this too shall pass”. Except I’m not the most positive thinker and A LOT of days I feel like all I did was spend exactly 7.3 hours arguing with a pint sized human about why naps are important. Spoiler alert: No one ever takes the damn nap.
With all that said, I decided there really can never be enough sarcasm surrounding the topic of children and tantrums so I polled all the other AMB mamas and compiled a glorious collection of tiny humans freaking out for no good reason. So sit back, raise a glass, and relish in even more reasons your tiny human might be crying.
