Even if we agree on clothes ahead of time it's always a battle. He doesn't want what we have/it's not comfortable/he wants to eat first...always something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395782 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:00:43 +0000 Adira 2395782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sharing and being nice! Gahhh!! Why are brothers soooooooo annoying??? It's like Logan's only purpose in this world is to annoy Xander and Xander gets soooooooo frustrated and upset so easily! I'm like "Can you two just STOP and get along for TWO SECONDS, PLEASE???" I'm losing my damn mind trying to keep them separated at all times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395776 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:56:09 +0000 pregnantbee 2395776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ugh. YES! My husband still lets him watch occasional YouTube videos and then wonders why LO has a fit when they're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395773 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:55:32 +0000 ShootingStar 2395773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: @Foodnerd81: Haha, every time DS sees me go in his closet he asks to wear his dalmatian costume from Halloween.</p> <p>Generally just getting him to do what I want to do (especially in the morning) takes a ton of patience. He takes forever to go down the stairs, and often decides to run back to his room for some reason after he's a couple steps in. He's a super slow eater in the morning and this morning took about a half hour to eat some of a toaster waffle and a box of craisins. Putting on shoes requires asking 4 times if he give me his feet, then as soon as I start to put one sock on, he pulls his foot away and says, "no, other one first". Then once I finally get him in the car he first sits *next* to his carseat instead of in it, and when I finally get him to climb in the carseat, he's kneeling and looking backwards. </p> <p>I spend my entire morning every day convincing him to do what I want him to do. If I force him, I get a total meltdown and he's strong enough to make it REALLY difficult. I have limited success with counting to 3, and it loses it's effectiveness if I have to do it over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395772 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:55:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2395772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: we have the same issue with videos on the phone. I never let her for this reason, but DH lets her watch a video on his phone the she has a meltdown when it's over. Every damn time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395771 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:53:56 +0000 bushelandapeck 2395771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: It's so true. For DS, it's the ability to keep changing apps and videos that I think is overstimulating. When he watches a short show on t.v., he's fine. We still let him use the ipad occasionally in the car but he can't use the internet so it's not nearly as bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395764 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:50:55 +0000 pregnantbee 2395764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: It's so hard. And I feel like a jerk for not letting him watch. But he's so much better and more creative when it doesn't exist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395763 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:49:42 +0000 BeachMama 2395763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Washing hands after potty. Clothing (too scratchy, itchy, tight). Sitting at the table while eating.

He's still allowed to watch a show on TV but once it's over, the tv goes off, no arguing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395759 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:46:31 +0000 pregnantbee 2395759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watching tv or Youtube videos. We've stopped. Period. Because otherwise the crying and whining is out of control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395755 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:40:33 +0000 travellingbee 2395755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting dressed. Not specifically what he is wearing, but just the act of changing clothes. Every damn day. 😩 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395735 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:26:36 +0000 mediagirl 2395735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: @Foodnerd81: hahaha! I wouldn't care if she would actually pick out her clothes. She has no interest in that. SO I pick them and try to pick things she likes and when she's not up for it? GAH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395734 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:26:14 +0000 bushelandapeck 2395734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food/snacking/sitting at the table while he has food in his mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395728 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:21:17 +0000 lemondrop 2395728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @mediagirl: Yeah, mine still wears his Batman costume everywhere. I don't really mind, I think he's hilarious ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395724 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:19:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2395724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well my kid is wearing her tiger Halloween costume right now, so... I'm not willing to make getting dressed a battle right now. And yes, she went out, to the store and lunch with dad like that. </p> <p>We fight the most about going up the stairs in our building. It's just a battle of the wills a lot of the time. I've tried different tactics that wil work sometimes but it seriously makes me not want to leave the house with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395723 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:18:54 +0000 lemondrop 2395723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating/snacking, constantly with my oldest. And using bathrooms with hand dryers. Instant terror and refusal even if he has to pee like a racehorse :P </p> <p>Not pouring the sippy cup everywhere with my youngest. And coloring on my walls with crayons. We switched to Crayola washable because of this. &lt;eye roll&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-fight-about-most-with-your-kids#post-2395707 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:13:01 +0000 mediagirl 2395707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fight over clothes with my daughter. Everything is always too hard, too rough, too tight, too scratchy. OMG. This morning I put her in a shirt and pants that are big on her. Plus, she recently lost a bit of weight from a tummy bug so everything is hanging on her. Yet, everything was too tight this morning. GAH. I ended up sending her to daycare in sweatpants and a Frozen tee shirt. And I don't care. :)</p> <p>What do you fight about most with your kid? </p>
