Who else has really frustrating conversations with their toddler?

My son, simultaneously opening up the pantry and fridge (yeah, he’s talented), whining…

Me (Mommy): You hungry?

Son: Yea

Mommy: Do you want peaches or pears?

blank stare

Mommy: peaches or pears?

Son: pea

Mommy: ok, here

Son: noooooooo

Mommy: So you don’t want them? Do you want pears?

Son: nooooooo

Mommy: do you want raisins?

Son: noooooo

Mommy: cheese?

Son: nooooo

Mommy: raisins or cheese?

Son: Yea (with a smile)

Mommy: which one?

Son: Yea

Mommy: raisins or cheese?

Son: no no no no no

Mommy: ok, so you aren’t hungry?

Son: yeah

Mommy: well what do you want?

– insert whining –
Mommy: raisins or cheese?

Son: Yea

Mommy: ok, here’s both

(sigh of relief - phewwww - glad that is over with)

  1. Too cute. Wait til he's older Darek apparently knows nothing. His answer for everything is "I don't know".......I could get more input from a brick wall
  2. Lol! I haven't gotten quite to that point yet, I think. Ds signs "eat" and I just grab something random that I know he likes. He doesn't know yet that he has a choice about what I prepare. Sometimes I'll put a couple different things on a plate or a bowl and let him eat what he wants of it. Whenever I open the fridge, he goes straight for the bowl of fruit I have on the bottom shelf for him and picks something (pre-washed, kid-sized apples, plums, oranges, etc.). Sometimes he lets me cut it, other times he'll just dive into one and take a huge bite.

    We do have conversations like that about other things, though, like nursing or pottying....he tells me he has to go and then when I pick him up to take him, he freaks out and thrashes around to get down....so I say, "oh, you don't have to go?" and then he pees on the floor.

    LMAO!! that is so funny.
  4. C~ Your conversation with Jax, sounds like having a conversation with Brandon, and Logan.
  5. I love the yes or no questions and when you ask yes or no?, they answer "yes or no."
  6. LOL - I knew I wasn't the only one. Oh and let it be known that that was actually a condensed version of the conversation!!
  7. I'm watching my niece today while my SIL is registering for her classes for next semester. I made the mistake of letting her pick out what she was going to wear today when I picked her up this morning. She sat on her bed and pointed at her closet saying "I unt dat un." "NOOOOOOOOOOO DAT UN!!!!!" had to have been heard by the neighbors with every wrong guess I made. She wouldn't get out of bed to show me, and I swear she was changing her mind the whole time because I held out every outfit in her closet.

    She's in her pj's today.
  8. at both C and Keely.

    I (so far) have managed to avoid those types of conversations by only offering 2 or 3 choices. If she doesn't choose one of those, then I pick.

    The "why" stage is really annoying, however. I swear N will ask the same question 5 times in a row, no matter how I answer it. Either that or I answer, and she follows up with a question about the answer.

    Why do the trees have buds?
    So they can grow new leaves.
    Why do they grow new leaves?
    Because the old ones fell off in fall.
    Why did the old ones fall off in fall?
    Etc, etc, etc

  9. My nephews used to always simply answer with the last choice and then freak when it wasn't what they wanted! I did learn the holding out two choices and making them pick one pretty quick thank goodness! So far Andy doesn't really get choices in his diet, but he beelines for the fridge every time it opens and he loves to rummage... I can see it now, he will hold the fridge door open for HOURS looking for a snack!
  10. awww thats sweet I have it all to come, how old is he ?
  11. he's 21 months....and has quite the personality! Don't they all?!?!
  12. oops sporry I should have read your ticker! dumb moment there!
  13. lol, that's ok!!
  14. ihave those converstation all the time with Kacy, espically when her nappy needs changing, or is she hungary
