Since she's 2, I know that sometimes even she doesn't know - but that doesn't make it less frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2285005 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 16:11:09 +0000 Applesandbananas 2285005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want it!</p> <p>Especially when I'm not offering anything!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284943 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 14:15:01 +0000 mrbee 2284943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"I need space!" - When I'm sitting/lying too close to my daughter, and she wants me to move.</p> <p>"That's not fair!" - Every single day from both kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284942 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 14:10:26 +0000 Rockies11 2284942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: "MY turn! MY turn! No baby's turn! MY turn!". Teaching her turn taking worked out really well for us too...</p> <p>Another one that is particularly bad/funny is that if you're sitting on a chair she views as hers, she will run over and take her arm and try to sweep you off the chair, while screaming "OFF". Conversely, if you're not sitting on a chair that she feels that you should be sitting on, she will pound on it and scream "MUMMY CHAIR ON". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284917 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 13:10:14 +0000 Corduroy 2284917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO adds, "OKAY!?!" to everything she does defiantly. If she's done with something its "That's enough, OKAY!?!". If she wants more crackers after I've said no its "More goldfish, OKAY!?!". No, its not OKAY! Thanks daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284916 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 13:08:22 +0000 petunia354 2284916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"No, MEEEE" whenever he wants what I have or wants to do something I'm doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284909 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 13:03:49 +0000 BeachMama 2284909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: "No E, you can't have that right now"<br /> E: (whining) "But I waaaant it!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284282 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 21:35:00 +0000 irene 2284282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"but I don't want to!"<br /> "Why...?"

(Meaning someone else can't use what she wants. Even if she isn't using it, like the swing at the park when she is on the slide). </p> <p>"C do it!"<br /> "C take a turn!"<br /> Basically it's always her turn in her head and by saying so, she should get it. So glad I taught her about taking turns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284200 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 20:11:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2284200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"No, don't touch me!" or "Move out of my WAY!"<br /> Or, when she gets really really angry and can't say what she wants, she just whines/yells "Do do do do do do!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/phases-you-cant-stand#post-2284198 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 20:10:21 +0000 autumnlove 2284198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: yes!
