I pretty much have to leave the room immediately now so I don't tell or get rougher than I mean to trying to get a diaper on. </p> <p>And constant whining and indecisiveness, especially in the AM. We give him a few shirt choices, for instance, and won't wear any of them. When D finally chooses one for him he freaks the eff out about. </p> <p>And not listening to me. He'll look right through me when I'm trying to talk to him, or he'll do the exact opposite of waft I say (like running away at the park when we're trying to leave). It's particularly grating because I know he knows what he's doing. He gives me a look that lets me know that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156810 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:51:50 +0000 sunny 2156810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Constant changing mind - asking for 1 thing then refusing it a minute later<br /> Whining and crying and refusing to use words </p> <p>Gahh these make me so upset! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156790 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:20:04 +0000 blackbird 2156790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: usually DH eats the banana then, and she freaks out lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156772 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 09:48:05 +0000 mrskc 2156772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it's when I'm trying to get something done and he keeps annoying me, getting in my way and messing up what I'm doing. ugh! </p> <p>@deerylou: @blackbird: Ugh, DS is guilty of this too, but I don't give in to it anymore. He asks me for something, I give it to him and he will say no. I say fine don't eat anything at all then and leave it out for him. Few seconds to a minute later, he is eating it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156728 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 08:47:08 +0000 autumnlove 2156728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Selective hearing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156579 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 22:31:51 +0000 HLK208 2156579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 3 year old not listening AT ALL.

The other day I was outside playing with him and Hubs was meeting with a contractor outside. I needed to go inside to get dinner started, so I asked him if he wanted to help me cook. He loves to help me cook on his learning tower, so he screamed "Yeah!" But as we were walking into the house, he screamed, "No, want to see Daddy!" So I took him over to Hubs. As soon as I walked away, he screamed, "No, I want to see Mommy!" So Hubs brought him inside. Soon as the door shut, "No, I want to see Daddy!" I kept him inside and fnially he calmed down when I let him help me dredge chicken in flour. </p> <p>Seriously, kid. MAKE UP. YOUR DAMN. MIND. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156074 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:34:16 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2156074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The fighting sleep.

But won't nap. So I'm like ok I'll rock you. If she falls asleep-- fine. But sometimes she will fight so hard? She'll scream and arch and wiggle while yawning and rubbing her eyes. And I'm like... You want to nap. You need to nap. I'm doing ALL THE THINGS. so freaking sleep child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156067 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:32:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2156067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining and no, no, no.

It's made me cry my eyes out a few times too many. I don't want to leave any more than DS does, but no one's told me yet I'm free to stop showing up at work :bummed: </p> <p>And the food meltdowns... lol. Last weekend I made a hummus sandwich and offered DS a piece. Cue half-hour of wailing at the table. Apparently he wanted the sandwich, but he didn't want it because it's sticky, but he did want it too! And then he stopped crying and ate the whole giant sandwich - nothing left for me! Gaah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2156005 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:11:21 +0000 blackbird 2156005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: THIS!!!! Drives me insane! I give you a banana, and she says NO and hands it back after she peeled it. </p> <p>WHAT DO YOU WANT, CHILD?! </p> <p>Or last night's flip out over peanut butter ON a banana. i have no idea why it was so traumatizing for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2155983 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:03:05 +0000 travelgirl1 2155983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't find that one particular thing makes me flip, it's more a build up. So, like today, she made a big fuss about breakfast, wanted to eat but wouldn't touch whatever I made her, made it near impossible for me to get her dressed then ran away from me a zillion times at playschool, while my morning sickness was particularly bad. All that together and I do feel ready to scream. Thank god for nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2155979 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:01:11 +0000 illumina 2155979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The fussiness and flipping out at little things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-flip-your-lid#post-2155978 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:01:01 +0000 deerylou 2155978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Apple?"<br /> "Okay, here's your apple, sweetie."<br /> "No. Have banana?"<br /> "Sure.
