From a book. Says it in context with perfect timing and inflection. I almost snorted my coffee the first time I heard her say it - equal parts horrifying and hilarious!</p> <p>When told a friend's mom was having a baby boy, she said "I don't really like boy babies. nope!" And walked away....then came back to ask if I thought her little sister liked boy babies. Funnily enough a few days before she had seen some teens out our window going door to door selling something and said she liked boys.</p> <p>She's also told me she doesn't like me a few times, and breaks down sobbing "I miss Daddy" when I try to get her to do things she doesn't want to do (like eat the PBJ she just asked me to make, or put away a toy before doing an art project). Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245506 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:53:08 +0000 skipra 2245506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These kill me! My lo is usually pretty sweet although can be quite bossy but I was so sad for DH when he took the day off work for his birthday and LO looked at him and said "Go to work, Dad!"<br /> He has also been telling me that he's going to cut me in half. Maybe he is not so sweet now that I think about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245488 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:22:48 +0000 jhd 2245488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be 15 months this week. Tonight I asked him if he wanted to give Daddy a kiss goodnight. He kissed DH on the cheek. I asked if he would give me a kiss and he shook his head no. Then when I lifted him into his crib he tried to bite my shoulder! It made me a little sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245426 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 19:36:51 +0000 blackbird 2245426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! Man, toddlers are such punks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245424 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 19:33:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2245424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: my nephew was exactly the same when I came to visit with C. He got so upset anytime my sister held the baby and would try to pry her arms off and tell, No you're MY mommy. She's mommy hold her! </p> <p>They now get along so so well and just really really love each other and he watches out for her (like if she goes near the steps he stops her and tells her it's not safe). </p> <p>@MamaBehr: I once told my mom "I feel like I live in the house of clean!" This is after she asked me to clean my horrifically messy room. She still laughs about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245344 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:50:32 +0000 NovBaby1112 2245344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: oh god, we hear a bunch of those as well over here. Such attitudes already!! </p> <p>I also get a lot of "stop being so rude mommy" if I tell her something she doesn't want to hear.<br /> Also, a lot of "I don't want to talk to you EVER again!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245319 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:11:06 +0000 Kimberlybee 2245319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was more funny than mean but today DD said to me in the car while I was singing along to something on the radio, "No singing mommy, bad singing!" Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245175 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:16:12 +0000 Cherrybee 2245175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E likes to tell me I smell! She has also started snapping "now" after her requests: "Milk pleeeease. NOW!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245029 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:17:09 +0000 78h2o 2245029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually J is very sweet, but lately she has started saying, "I don't like how you're talking to me," and "you are making me sad" whenever I sound frustrated with her or am telling her something she doesn't want to hear (like "you aren't listening to mommy, I need you to listen). It's so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245021 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:11:06 +0000 Charm54 2245021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is visiting with her new baby. C is insanely jealous and every time I'm holding the baby, C gets this mad look on her face and goes "No mama hold E. Aunty M hold E. No mama hold!!!!!!" Then she tries to pull baby E off of me.</p> <p>So, October when I give birth to #2 should be a lot of fun!!!!! :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2245013 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:01:38 +0000 mauxie 2245013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, it starts so young! I've heard some of the 3 year old girls at daycare talk to one another and they say things like "NO you can't sit here, go over there!" :( Makes me sad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244849 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 09:41:33 +0000 rachiecakes 2244849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going away for the weekend.<br /> "Why is daddy coming, too?"<br /> wow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244821 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 09:24:27 +0000 .twist. 2244821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: hahaha oh my. That made me giggle. Kids really do say the darndest things. </p> <p>L can definitely be a meanie. He constantly tells DH to "go away daddy". DH gets really frustrated by it. I feel so bad for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244772 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:47:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 2244772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: Yeah when we tell E that something is "not nice" she usually starts crying and says "i'm in trouble" and goes and puts herself in time out. She's VERY emotional these days. The name calling has just started, also learned at daycare...not a fan of it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244764 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:41:00 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2244764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: When I lectured DD about not saying her dad is dumb, she looked at me with big alligator tears and started sobbing and then stomped inside her room. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244761 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:38:16 +0000 MamaBehr 2244761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my daughter is hardly a toddler anymore at 5, but I asked her to put her shoes away and her response was:<br /> "Why do you think you're Queen of the world and I'm just your maid?" </p> <p>I didn't know how to respond, and doubt I could have said anything because I was fighting the laugh that wanted to come out ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244758 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:36:48 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2244758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD just turned 3 and has her moments. She's been bullying DH off of his desk and chair saying it's hers. She's learnt the word "dumb" in daycare and called him dumb :bummed: He says that kids say it to mean "mean" - as in, "You're mean". But I'm not buying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244739 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:18:09 +0000 MoonMoon 2244739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday my two year old was crying and when I went to hug him he pushed me and said "momma go AWAY!" </p> <p>(In his defense, when DH told him he made me sad, he came and have me a hug. But still!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244734 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:14:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 2244734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some spirited little girls ;) </p> <p>I hear these things pretty regularly: </p> <p>"You're NOT MY BEST FRIEND ANYMORE"<br /> "get outta here, I don't' want you in here"<br /> "I don't like you I like daddy"<br /> "daddy is so stupid" and I responded "we do not call people names or say that word, it is not nice" and she goes "fine, daddy is a butt toot face" yepppp that's better. </p> <p>And 2 days ago for the first time and it stung and brought tears to my eyes:<br /> "I don't love you" </p> <p>And I made her know that we NEVER say that and she started to cry.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244723 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:09:00 +0000 Truth Bombs 2244723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I'm sorry but that made me laugh! I would probably tell LO that I created her life and I'll do what I want with it thank you very much :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244614 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:36:06 +0000 sunny 2244614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get "go away mama!" and "go away dada!" whenever she's upset with one of us. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244595 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:19:12 +0000 HLK208 2244595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had a dollar for every time E told me that I ruined her life... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244582 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:50:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2244582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She jabbed me and said "You are poo poo" in a singsongy voice (thanks daycare). She also frequently tells DH to go away, or that she wants mommy to change her/dress her, etc.</p> <p>How'd I get a threenager at 23 months?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244444 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 20:05:09 +0000 travellingbee 2244444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I've got a meanie too. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244403 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 19:08:35 +0000 Kimberlybee 2244403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Yikes, I am not looking forward to this stage. DD is getting so feisty but not saying mean things yet. I am sure it's coming though, she mimicks other kids a lot. Some are so mean and bratty in our playgroup but the parents are so calm and nice. I think it's a phase that all kids go through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244381 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 18:49:44 +0000 yellowbird 2244381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my toddler is the meanest of mean! I literally don't know what to do with her. She is constantly ordering me around, telling me what to do, telling Dh to go away and that he's not allowed to play or even talk to her. It's killing me!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244364 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 18:32:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2244364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight C insisted that only I change her poopy diaper. She turned to DH and said, no daddy, you stay here! </p> <p>I think that one was mean to both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244357 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 18:27:25 +0000 MrsRcCar 2244357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N loves to growl and scream no at me when he doesn't get his way. He even signs no at me. :shocked: at least he says no clearly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mean-toddlers#post-2244227 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 18:15:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 2244227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>today I heard, </p> <p>-in Lowe's, O: "...disgusting."<br /> me: "what's disgusting?"<br /> O yelling: "Mama is disgusting!"</p> <p>then later,<br /> "don't talk to me. don't EVER talk to me."</p> <p>I think she was mimicking times I have told her not to ever do something. "don't ever open the door without Mommy." etc. </p> <p>she's a piece of work. almost 3. :meh: </p>
