I'd try to make up for it with a treat or with a really fun bath time. </p> <p>I can't remember a time that I did that to LO. I do feel really bad when we leave grandma's house though. He always grabs onto my mom and cries and says, "no bye, no bye." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-disappointed-your-toddler-and-felt-guilty#post-1527712 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:57:47 +0000 daniellemybelle 1527712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: LOL I am cracking up that you BOTH cried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-disappointed-your-toddler-and-felt-guilty#post-1527278 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:26:50 +0000 wonderstruck 1527278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I still remind my mom about the time she promised he could wear his Spiderman PJs and then forgot to wash them - it was the first time she ever broke a promise and we both cried (despite the fact that it had absolutely nothing to do with me! lol) I don't know exactly how old he was, but not even kindergartner age yet, so definitely a toddler. L is only 10 months old but I know that she's really hoping karma comes back for me on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-disappointed-your-toddler-and-felt-guilty#post-1527269 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:21:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1527269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I totally would have too but I didn't have any swimming stuff with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-disappointed-your-toddler-and-felt-guilty#post-1527240 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:05:42 +0000 Raindrop 1527240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm such a softie this sounds sooo sad. I probably would have gone back in and did the swimming. I'm so weak!!</p> <p>Before we had kids... I totally thought I was going to be the mean mom and LOs would have would have DH wrapped around their little fingers but it's been totally the opposite! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-disappointed-your-toddler-and-felt-guilty#post-1527140 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 17:30:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1527140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I guess I got into the habit of going to the gym, working out for an hour while J played in the daycare and then taking him swimming in the pool. Apparently DH was doing the same thing whenever he takes him on the weekends! </p> <p>Today, I just did a quick workout before dinner and J was absolutely heartbroken when we started walking to the car and he realized he didn't get to go swimming. I was crushed! He cried for nearly thirty minutes. I definitely felt bad that I had set the expectation for him and disappointed him.</p> <p>Have you ever really disappointed your toddler? </p>
