Also, his tantrums come from a place of toddler independence. It's more of a "hey, I can do this and not need you, stop cramping my style woman!"place than anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151883 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:53:15 +0000 irene 1151883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I never feel offended.... I just get frustrated, but seldom mad.</p> <p>I remember 1 bee (I don't remember who, sorry!) told me that babies and toddlers didn't throw tantrums or behave poorly to get you. They really didn't. They did it because they are having a hard time. I always feel better when I remind myself that.</p> <p>A friend of mine also told me that babies and kids are born to please their parents. That is their survival instinct. So they are not trying to make you feel miserable. They can't help it....</p> <p>If you think about it they have the right.... they are so tiny, they can't communicate fluently what they need, and they just learned to use their limbs in a more efficient manner. They can't even get what they want when they want it (eg. the cup that is not within reach when they are thirsty). Would you throw a tantrum if you are in their shoes? hehe :happy: </p> <p>Hugs and hang in there mommy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151661 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:20:46 +0000 banana 1151661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also get offended when I spent alllll day playing with my son, having SO MUCH fun with him, feeding him yummy snacks. And then daddy comes home and all of a sudden he's all about team daddy....</p> <p>=\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151652 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:17:16 +0000 yin 1151652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to get offended, but it's really hard if I'm slaving away in the kitchen and my food isn't good enough. Pshh... does he not realize how lucky he is? All I ate was rice when I was a kid (hehe this is what I tell him but not exactly 100% true), but then he would probably like to eat rice all day long... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151604 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:46:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1151604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm offended lately because she won't let me anywhere near her. If I even try to talk to her or sit within 3 ft of her, she flips out, screaming "NOOOO" :-( Not sure what I did wrong... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151596 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:34:44 +0000 Andrea 1151596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is annoying when you spend a lot of time cooking and they won't eat it! But I guess I am not offended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151582 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:22:47 +0000 MamaBehr 1151582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find it is worse when my preschooler does it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151576 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:19:13 +0000 chopsuey 1151576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annoyed, but never offended.<br /> Thankfully we haven't had a tantrum in a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151550 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:59:18 +0000 mrsmate 1151550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annoyed, yes, offended, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151543 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:54:25 +0000 autumnlove 1151543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! :( I didn't let her drink water that she dipped her gyoza into yesterday.....DRAMA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-offended-when-your-toddler-throws-a-tantrum#post-1151540 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:53:00 +0000 looch 1151540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, like when I have made really cool plans and he won't get dressed.

As if, like, hello kid, I worked so hard to prepare this meal for you so why are you throwing a fit because you wanted me to put your bowl two inches closer to you?</p> <p>Daaang. To get over my feelings, I just hug her tight and repeat, "You're two...You're two...This is normal. This will end."</p> <p>SIGH. </p>
