11,501 | daddit | Reading these comments makes me feel a bit more blessed then some lol. My kud wakes up at 7 and cuddles in instead. He is 3. Best feeling to wake up to |
11,502 | daddit | ICE CREAM!!! |
11,503 | daddit | Sounds like my 7 year old. Had a snow day yesterday and was furious because she wanted to go to school to see her friends. |
11,504 | daddit | My son is 2 and all smiles and then the slightest inconvenience happens and he's screaming and frothing at the mouth. Shit, dude, I deal with this at my job I don't need it at home, too. |
11,505 | daddit | Seethes with insurmountable rage because my cinnamon roll was placed 1 centimeter too close to my eggs that I wasn't going to eat but still demanded them to be on the plate because I need to push them around the plate until they are completely cold so I can refuse to eat them. |
11,506 | daddit | Don’t forget throwing a rage-fit when your cinnamon rolls are served on a blue plate instead of a white plate |
11,507 | daddit | I related when I read it as “you’re almost 30”… |
11,508 | daddit | I'M MAD BECAUSE I'M WATCHING THE SHOW THAT I ASKED FOR BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT ON I DECIDED I HATE THAT SHOW AND ANYONE WHO PUTS IT ON!! |
11,509 | daddit | Ah yes the days when simply being alive is an affront to their very existence. |
11,510 | daddit | This makes perfect sense. My 2 year old wakes up from every nap furious, and screams and cries for like 15min. And this is after waking up on her own. |
11,511 | daddit | These cinnamon rolls are spiraling clockwise and f***ing hell, YOU KNOW I ONLY LIKE THE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ONES!!!! |
11,512 | daddit | I said no to French toast. I wanted pancakes. I asked for pancakes. Definitely not French toast. I was given the pancakes I wanted. I throw them on the ground and then lay screaming because I wanted French toast all along. French toast would have been wrong too. |
11,513 | daddit | Nah, I wanted cinnamon rolls, but these ones are spiraled the wrong way |
11,514 | daddit | We’re still talking about the kids, right? |
11,515 | daddit | Literally this morning: Daughter: I want Belvita’s for breakfast. *mom gets out Belvita’s* Daughter, infuriated: I DON’T LIKE BELVITA’S I SAID I WANTED OATMEAL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
11,516 | daddit | Yeah but they only want pancakes because you made cinnamon rolls. If you in fact made pancakes, those wouldn't be good either. Just pour a bowl of cereal and call it a win. |
11,517 | daddit | Okay how did my kid get a Reddit account? And also become so self aware? |
11,518 | daddit | Is that your child or my wife? lol |
11,519 | daddit | This but the pancakes were darker in color than what was in my head. |
11,520 | daddit | You got me grapes??? Now I want orange!!!! |
11,521 | daddit | fucking LOL |
11,522 | daddit | My 2 year old is the same. He's a terrible sleeper, unlike his older sister, and wakes up furious nearly every time. |
11,523 | daddit | Mine is if she's woken by something external. As long as she's allowed to wake on her own and twiddle around in her crib for a few minutes she's fine. |
11,524 | daddit | Yeah I don't understand it. 1.5yr old always wakes up crying/upset and there's nothing that can be done other than just wait. Complete meltdown as soon as his eyes open, I don't get it lol. |
11,525 | daddit | With my kids, the tantrums started around 2 years old and mellowed at around 4.. |
11,526 | daddit | For us the first year was absolute torture. It felt like there wasn't a lot of reward for our work that we put into our daughter. But after a year it started to actually feel rewarding and still is. She is 2.5 now and I can take the tantrums because she is giving so much more than she is taking. |
11,527 | daddit | [deleted] |
11,528 | daddit | As someone with two kids, one 3 and the other about 14 weeks, I look back on the first kid and think wow it’s so easy when they get in the groove. I used to take the little one to bed and read to her and it was 15 minutes and peace out…now it’s a two hour process where the book “go the f*ck to sleep” isn’t a funny book for parents, it was a premonition. |
11,529 | daddit | Boy did my kids keep the terrible 2's stereotype intact. Woof, some rough years. You make it through though |
11,530 | daddit | My 3 y.o. son has maybe thrown 5 tantrums his whole life (almost all when sick or when he's missed his nap), so it depends on the kid. |
11,531 | daddit | wow I went to look for that GIF and realized daddit doesnt allow GIFS? How does DADDIT of all places, not allow gifs? This feels criminal... |
11,532 | daddit | I have a 3 week old, first kid I’m in danger too |
11,533 | daddit | It's secret option #4. He'll eat 2 bites, say he's full, then lose his shit and fling his plate across the room |
11,534 | daddit | Oh so that's my itch! |
11,535 | daddit | Man the other day I tried to take my toddler home from daycare… explosion. Then the next day I tried to take him back… explosion. Worst dad of the year right here |
11,536 | daddit | Jesus you're putting clothes on that toddler? You absolute monster!!! |
11,537 | daddit | Dad is going outside to throw the trash away? I must aid him in this long, exciting and dangerous journey. Better bring my firefighter boots! |
11,538 | daddit | Hey! Don't you remind me how the world is so fresh and new to kids. That makes me feel even worse! Seriously though, the beauty my kids see in the basic things around the world is such a beautiful thing. |
11,539 | daddit | My kid is obsessed with music CD's (mainly The Beatles) and his favorite activity is taking the CDs out of the case, putting them in his boom box, hitting play, immediately opening the CD compartment of the boom box and ripping the CD out mid spin and then putting it back in the case...repeat indefinitely. Hardly ever even listens to the music despite being obsessed with music too. |
11,540 | daddit | The cinnamon rolls or the child? |
11,541 | daddit | Yeah, that was my thinking, too. I can't sleep in. For some reason, my brain has lost the programming to sleep longer than the amount of time where I feel like shit when I wake up and then am unable to fall back asleep despite still being tired. |
11,542 | daddit | Dont my dude. To me this post is pure humor. Which you will need some of to raise your kid for sure. There is so much awesome to come. I'd really recommend doing asl with your kiddo. Mine know about 20 signs and it is awesome. Just communication in general has started to open up. You need to be a bit interpretative. For instance she does "help" but its more interlockig her fingers and doing hammer punch type actions. Or her sign for "music" actually means unlock the phone so I can touch all the apps or open the camera app and take pictures of whatever. Its awesome at least for me. Watching the past 18 momths of development. Its a magical journey and Im only looking forward to the future. |
11,543 | daddit | It doesn't become more difficult. Toddler tantrums are frustrating, but I'd take them any day over the sleep deprivation of those first few months. |
11,544 | daddit | But it isn’t more difficult. At the core of this post is a kid actually *communicating* their wants and needs, even if those wants and needs are irrational. At 6mo all you can do is guess at the random cries, grunts, and babbling. |
11,545 | daddit | As the others have said, it's not more difficult, it's a different kind of difficult. Early on the difficulties are lack of sleep, not being to able to communicate, not having an interactive human, basically having to do everything all of the time for your kid. Then the difficulties switch, you get a more interactive child, but one that still can't communicate effectively, one that doesn't require 100% attention 100% of the time, but you still have to do most things for. Then it changes again, the kid can communicate, but has emotional swings that are a challenge to handle. It's a constantly evolving thing, the absolute difficulty which swing up and down over time. |
11,546 | daddit | You're in the hardest part. The fact that we can joke about toddler tantrums shows they're manageable. Sure, it's exhausting, but full night sleeps are also back on the menu. |
11,547 | daddit | At 6 months old you're dealing with something barely human. At 2 years old, you're seeing big signs of them being human. I personally find it's easier to relate to the 2 year olds. You have to dig deep to find patience, but once you get used to it you'll be good. |
11,548 | daddit | They would never get toritillas from me again lol |
11,549 | daddit | I thought that’s what they called your mom? |
11,550 | daddit | "As long as **they** want." Not necessarily as long as I want them to. |
11,551 | daddit | The little guy slept till 9:30 a few weeks ago and it was like a luxury vacation. |
11,552 | daddit | I asked for pancakes, you graciously made me those pancakes. The same recipe as always, the same mixing container, same pan. They are perfect except, I don't want THESE pancakes. I want other ones. |
11,553 | daddit | I think kids want the platonic ideal version of the thing they want, and then have a philosophical crisis when reality does not match the hypothetical French toast that only can exist in the mind. |
11,554 | daddit | “What’s French toast? I don’t like French toast.” |
11,555 | daddit | Lol, kids, AMR? |
11,556 | daddit | I wanted sugar and cinnamon, not cinnamon and sugar! |
11,557 | daddit | Damn Coriolis effect |
11,558 | daddit | Yeah... That's right... The, uh, the kids. Yep |
11,559 | daddit | I don't want oatmeal, I want cereal! *make her cereal, and make myself oatmeal* Daddy, I want oatmeal! |
11,560 | daddit | I always like how they want the one thing you haven't got or they can't have. But they do this not after you've told them "we haven't got x" but before. Like they've got instinctive sense that you've not got Cheerios in the cupboard and therefore only Cheerios will do. Mine does it with clothes and everything. Always picking the one thing that isn't there before even I know it isnt there. Twats. |
11,561 | daddit | My youngest once complained because he wanted the applesauce that doesn't have apples in it. Still trying to figure that one out. |
11,562 | daddit | NO! I wanted a BLUE orange!! |
11,563 | daddit | Try and get him a snack asap. Mine would wake up from naps, absolutely screaming and upset. If I could get him to somehow eat a snack, he would calm down and usually fall back asleep. |
11,564 | daddit | How did you get one who sleeps? One of my kids didn't sleep through the night until she was older than two, and her younger brother is 8 months old and still waking up as often as once per hour. Usually he cries for 10 minutes and then puts himself back to sleep for an hour, but we live in a very small apartment so there's no way to avoid it waking up the whole family once per hour every night. |
11,565 | daddit | Most of my family is super grumpy when we wake up. I never realized it could be a genetic thing until both my kids were grump beasts after most every nap. |
11,566 | daddit | My 20 month old usually goes down to nap without a problem, very content to lay in his crib and fall asleep, when he wakes up though... oh boy, almost instant screaming, whether he slept 45 minutes or 2 hours. Exact same for bedtime sleep, right to sleep no fuss around 7:30, sleeps through the night but I don't think I've woken to any alarm clock besides his morning 6:30 screaming in the last six months. He wasn't always like this though, for almost a year he would wake up and just babble in his crib and then laugh excitedly when we'd come in the room to get him up. |
11,567 | daddit | Our 13 month old is now doing this, very confusing to us, she was perfectly fine until she got sick a few weeks back. Now she fights every nap and wakes up inconsolable with a nuclear meltdown. Kids are weird. |
11,568 | daddit | For us it was about 3.5yrs He's just turned 5. Please tell me there is a 2 year limit. There's a 2 year limit right??? |
11,569 | daddit | Ours were delayed. No terrible two's but extra dose of threenager |
11,570 | daddit | My daughter is almost 21 months, we've had some early glimpses of tantrums. The biggest so far came when I tried to get her to hold the popsicle by the stick instead of ham-fistedly grabbing the popsicle itself. At no point did I try to take the popsicle or indicate that she couldn't eat it. Just tried to move reposition her hand as I gave it to her. This, according to her, was worthy of lying face first on kitchen floor, slapping her hands on the floor as hard a possible while screaming NOOOOOO. |
11,571 | daddit | Well mine just turned 1 and he's pretty good at throwing tantrums if we stop him from doing anything, if food takes too long to get to him, or if he's not getting food that he wants. |
11,572 | daddit | Yeah now my little dude is smiling and responding to me it feels like a cakewalk compared to nothing but screaming, crying, groaning, shitting and eating, can't wait for him to start talking! |
11,573 | daddit | Now I'm worried about what my 9mo guy who's been nothing but sweet, happy, and funny since he was 3mo is going to turn into... |
11,574 | daddit | Curious how yours was torture specifically. Just the normal crying, no sleep, fussy stuff? Or something more specific? |
11,575 | daddit | That’s what I thought too.. at that age, they only want like 4 things. Now, when he knows how to actually push my buttons and be stubborn, I would KILL for him to just be upset cuz he has gas and needs to be held. |
11,576 | daddit | I feel the exact same now with my 12 week old. I’m sure in the future I’ll look back and feel differently, but right now it’s just so hard to deal with an infant who will scream viciously over seemingly nothing. Or, it’s apparent he has gas but we try EVERY trick in the book and nothing consoles him. He’s been getting more chill around this 12 week point so hopefully it continues like this for awhile |
11,577 | daddit | If you have a girl, look forward to both in the teenage years! |
11,578 | daddit | Maybe it’s because my son was an easy baby, but he’s 3 now and it’s much harder. He likes to say “don’t talk to me” right before or while doing something he knows is against the rules. He also yells “You’re not listening to me!” Even if you’ve calmly listened and explained to the best of your ability. Still manageable, but I’m significantly more exhausted now than I was during the first year. |
11,579 | daddit | Congrats dude. For me, it gets awesome about 7-8 weeks. If you're finding it tough, grit your teeth and hold on, because once they smile it's a huge game changer. |
11,580 | daddit | And two minutes later complain that he's hungry. |
11,581 | daddit | “I’m done. Can I have a snack?” No you can’t have a fucking snack, there’s a whole plate of food there that I made you 10 minutes ago. |
11,582 | daddit | And then be mad that I ate the pancakes that were "yucky" and didn't want. |
11,583 | daddit | I know. How dare I try to keep him from being cold and wet when we walk to the car! |
11,584 | daddit | Great example :) |
11,585 | daddit | Aww |
11,586 | daddit | I foresee tears in both scenarios. |
11,587 | daddit | No |
11,588 | daddit | Do not appreciate that duckhead. |
11,589 | daddit | My son will only do that if I'm already up before 7am. |
11,590 | daddit | They did this to my partner when she made eggs for them the other day. They wanted them "flat, like daddy made!" You see, I had messed up the eggs and simply served them anyway. |
11,591 | daddit | This is actually called "Neurosis", which is the confusion, frustration and general ill will and dysfunction created in the mind when the person's mind can't reconcile the difference between what they believe reality should be doesn't match the actual reality. The more disconnected the person's ideals are from reality, the more neurotic the individual. |
11,592 | daddit | Nah the cinnamon rolls pissed me off because they kept coming undone out of the spiral, which caused me to spiral |
11,593 | daddit | I don't want sugar I WANT SUGAR! I don't want cinnamon. I WANT IT! |
11,594 | daddit | *Switches the bowls NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!! |
11,595 | daddit | I've added blueberries in that scenario to change the color. |
11,596 | daddit | My daughter once asked for Cacao, so I made one by pouring milk on the powder and stirred. Apparently I wasn’t allowed to stir the mixture. She cried for two hours straight in the living room… |
11,597 | daddit | They make other flavored applesauce maybe he means that like mixed berry and shit |
11,598 | daddit | Shit, I remember this story decades later... friend is coming off shift perplex as hell. What's that? Someone comes through the drive thru and orders a cheeseburger, hold the cheese. Why? She thinks we use a special patty for cheeseburgers that you can't get as a normal hamburger and she's figured out the secret. I assured her this is not the case. She persisted. |
11,599 | daddit | Smoothie??? |
11,600 | daddit | Gets blue orange. Promptly tosses it on the floor and ignores it until after you've thrown it out. |
