It is not necessarily related to a request or behavior, she just speaks in this reeeeeeeeeeeeeeahly whiny tone. She is 26 months and I have not had much success explaining normal tone from whiny tone. Usually when I say use her big girl voice she just whines with more volume, lol. I hate it and I am oddly embarrassed by it if we are in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1775154 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 22:26:11 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1775154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: The whining is a new thing for us and I've gotta say- not lovin it. You and I are going to holds hands, sit around a campfire and sing kumbaya, because I understand. It literally makes me feel my veins constricting and my head about to pop off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773593 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 09:07:41 +0000 .twist. 1773593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: Oh! That seems like a good idea. Do you just pretend you don't hear her, or do you say "I can't hear you" or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773521 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:39:03 +0000 MamaMoose 1773521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear God the whining. My LO just learned to open the pantry door and she just stands there whining for "fishies" (aka goldfish) alllllll the time. Kill me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773497 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:32:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 1773497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 21 months she's a big whiner, cries when she doesn't get her way. I'm sorry I'm not giving you fruit snacks in the morning when you wake up! I'm with you, no advice because nothing is working in my household either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773493 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:31:53 +0000 autumnlove 1773493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate whining! "I want it!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773481 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:27:36 +0000 mrsjyw 1773481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 20 months and I think we're just beginning this (what sounds like never ending) phase... :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773476 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:25:57 +0000 MamaG 1773476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear, we are entering the threenager stage and whining and tantrums are at their worst ever. My husband has a really low tolerance for whining, I can ignore it pretty well. It's been a rough couple of weeks in our house and I'm afraid its on the horizon for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773463 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:14:59 +0000 jedeve 1773463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 18 months so his whines are generally nonverbal. He is very verbal so we just tell him to tell us what he wants. The funny thing is now he will start to whine and then go, "no whining!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773448 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:04:26 +0000 MsMamaBear 1773448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be 3 in a month, so it's better. I told her I won't hear her until she uses her normal voice, I'll ignore whining. It took a while, but it seems to be working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773394 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 07:20:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1773394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Believe me, I have tried everything that's already been suggested!</p> <p>I'm about to start taking a toy away every time she whines. It's ridiculous. It's not even always about something, it's literally her tone of voice. I took a video of it this morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773387 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 07:15:02 +0000 heffalump 1773387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just turned three. I say, "it's ok to be upset, but please use your words and tell me nicely what you want so I can understand you and help you." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773385 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 07:13:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1773385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have just starting telling her, she needs to use her big girl voice and talk to us normally or she won't get what she's requesting. Usually her whine is because she's trying to sound cute or like a baby so asking her to repeat what she said helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773377 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 07:08:45 +0000 Dandelion 1773377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it. I tell D to sound like he's happy when he asks for stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773366 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 07:00:56 +0000 winniebee 1773366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haaaate whining. I usually tell him "honey you are using a whiny voice" and/ or "please use your words" when he is straight up just moaning and whining over something. If you figure it out let me know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773360 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 06:56:41 +0000 Weagle 1773360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has started entering a whiny phase too. It's not all the time, but it drives me crazy nonetheless. We tell her some version of, "Mommy's ears can't hear whining, so you need to speak like a big girl." Or, "Mommy will answer you when you can stop whining." I don't even know how/how much she understands, but it seems to work. I basically ignore her until she changes her tone/attitude. Of course, if she's really worked up and having a tough time figuring it out I'll talk it through with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773359 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 06:56:32 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1773359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's just random. Some days I want to poke my eyes out and count the days until her daycare opens back up, other days, like today, she's perfectly content on just making a mess. Lol. I never thought I would be happy for her mess making! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cannot-handle-the-whining#post-1773349 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 06:41:02 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1773349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When does it stop? How can I encourage it to go away? I do not understand how a tiny person can whine so much about so many ridiculous things. It's like a tone of voice at this point. All day every day, from the time she wakes up until the time she goes to sleep.</p> <p>MAKE THIS GO AWAY. Whining is my kryptonite and I'm losing my patience. </p>
