    lol, all the 'one side of the bread' posts....eons ago when I was married, I made my husband his favorite sandwich, mustard and pimento. He said I made it wrong, one side is to be mustard, the other pimento. I said I did make it that way! He says but the mustard has to be on the top side, otherwise it's too spicy on his tongue. I stared at him a full minute, then without breaking eye contact, reached over AND....flipped his sandwich over on his plate for him. That's when I knew the marriage was doomed....

      😂😂 My ex-husband and yours may have been brothers!
      Mine: he was flipping out in bed one morning that the new horizontal blinds we bought were no good because they let in "way too much light lines" and it was my fault he'd woken up TEN MINUTES before the alarm went off, because he had wanted black ones not white ones. Really worked up about it. Called me an "impulse shopper" and a "fool for fashion" and less complimentary names besides. Total SNIT was had by him.
      I silently stared him down as I reached around my nursing 4 month old baby, took hold of the cord and pulled slowly as it flipped the blinds in the other direction, thus darkening the room considerably, and erasing all "light lines".
      "Oh." He said.
      And I had let him breed. Three times. 😆

      At least your son wore socks. I got to the point with my now 24 year old daughter that I just carried the socks and shoes in the diaper bag. I got tired of people coming up behind the stroller and asking if the socks belonged to me. She also adamantly refused a bib of any kind no matter the material or type of closure. She would rather choke herself attempting (and usually succeeding) to remove it than tolerate a bib in any way. Quite the shock as her older brother didn’t care what he wore and was a relatively neat eater. He however had epic tantrums if his graham crackers were not perfectly evenly split into fourths along the perforations every single time. Also there was a Right Way to cut his sandwich but it differed depending on his mood. Fun times!

    So when this glorious day came when she was 13... I gave her a calendar to keep track of the usual 28 days. She screamed in horror and said, " YOU MEAN I'M GOING TO GET THIS AGAIN?" ( Oh honey...sit down)

    We had a set of Book House books when I was a kid, which I loved. When I was 14, my mom arbitrarily sold them, thinking I had outgrown the stories. I went hysterical and said I wanted them the rest of my life, and for my kids and grandkids. The buyer wouldn’t sell them back, so mom spent years looking for another set. Finally found one and presented it to me as a gift (1937 edition). I went hysterical with happiness, read the books to my kids later, and still have the set. Irreplaceable.

    When my then 3 year old son and I would get fish and chips for tea, we would walk around the block while waiting. We always walked past a church and I used to tell him it was God’s house. One night we saw a light on and he said “oh God is home mummy”. The next week the minister was standing outside the church and he got so excited yelling “mummy, there’s God, there’s God” so loudly that people were staring. I was laughing so hard. He’s 31 and still remembers it. Wish we had mobile phones back then so I could have filmed it.

    When my son was four years old, we lived next door to a lovely older lady who was grandmother to an adopted black grandson. This lady was kind and gracious and stylish, but she did really overdo her makeup and her foundation did not match her complexion. She came over for coffee one afternoon and brought her little grandson to play with my son. As this little guy was the first black child my son had ever really seen (we live in a predominantly white area of the country), he had many questions. I let the grandmother answer his questions and she explained that God created all of us and loves all of us equally and that we should love and treat everyone, no matter what color, with kindness. My son sat quietly, thought about what she had said, and then asked her, “So God loves orange people like you, too?”

    At some of the comments;
    These kids aren't necessarily entitled!
    Every single kid has moments like these. When you're a kid the world is big and scary and your brain isn't developed to handle it yet. Hence why so many of these are completely illogical. Punishing them for things they don't even understand would only make things worse! The proper time for discipline is when they're purposefully acting up/doing what they're not supposed to, and they fully understand that. For moments like these when it's all illogical you have to be patient, assure them everything's okay, and help them grow out of it. 💜

    I do remember similar things happening with my 3 kids. However, what I remember most is not with my kid but my sister’s, and not so funny. He had to have his food placed in an exact way on his plate, and cut just the right way. It turned out that he was on the Autism spectrum and later developed severe OCD. These early instances could be a sign for some children so, please please be alert and don’t always laugh off what seems funny at the time.

    My five year old had decided that a good way to avoid going to school was to be really slow dressing in her uniform. A couple of days of this with me cadjoling her my patience broke. So next morning when she started her nonsense I informed her that she would arrive at school in whatever state of undress she was in when it was time to leave for school. She didn't believe me until she's in the back of the car in her vest and knickers with the rest of her uniform on the seat beside her. She completed dressing on the pavement outside the school gate. Needless to say the next morning she was dressed, teeth cleaned, shoes on before we left the house. We did not have a repeat of the delaying tactics ever.

The tantrum was so loud, I had to go stand with the baby outside so the neighbours would not think the child was being murdered. 😆
    When my son was 3 he flipped out and wept for 20 solid minutes because he asked for ham and I gave him ham but what he actually wanted was chicken, and I made the mistake of explaining that each foodstuff had it's own name. He kept wailing "Chicken is dumb! Chicken is dumb!" while rolling on the floor. I put the chicken back in the fridge and he got so upset he stopped breathing for a second, but when I reopened the fridge to give it back to him, he slammed the door on my arm and yelled, "No! No! Chicken is dumb! Ham! Ham! Give me HAM!!"
    To this day, if he asks what's for dinner, I tell him "Ham" and wink. 😂
    My youngest, at about 4, was a fairly quiet kid, so when she started screaming like she was on fire one summer day, imagine my surprise. Her problem?

Their cherubic child, with rosy cheeks and golden curls, was telling them that her pre-school friend was going to Paris for the holiday weekend, and that she wanted to go too. They explained what they were doing instead of going to Paris. Cue a meltdown of epic proportions, lots of screaming "I want to go to Paaaaaris!" over and over and over, while. stomping her feet,, squealing and crying. They were humiliated.

Parents need to enforce that which is not tolerable as an adult while the children are still young. I see so many kids now that refuse to accept the word no. This is because their parents give in to the whining to easy. The latest mass shooting I saw that the parents actually bought a minor the gun used in the active shooter event.

      @@carolpearson6179 if you don't think I'm too out of my lane, can I ask if you're still very young (under 30ish)? I ask, because I saw myself in that same light in my 20s. I actually disliked kids, even when I WAS little kid myself. I was that strange kid that was waaaay ahead of grade level for the first 8 years of school. My mom said I was the oldest kid she ever met. Everything young people did irked me...especially in the military dorm. I was 36, when we had our little bundle of joy, excitement, and embarrassment. I KNOW I would have been a less than optimal mom in my 20s and early 30s. I'd have taken good care of her, but I wouldn't have been the enthusiastic mom I have been. I always respect a person that thinks enough of children to not have them, if they just aren't into the idea...so much better than the ones that have kids, because they couldn't be bothered to prevent pregnancy. I too have always been a person that took control of life and didn't just let life happen to me. This long winded comment is just a cautionary tale of knowing that even control freaks that plan EVERYTHING change over time. If you are already past that point in life, I hope your choices brought you as much happiness as mine. If not, perhaps you'll decide later you have just been a late bloomer in the whole "mother's instincts" rhelm.

    When my children were 5 and 3 they saw a little kid having a temper tantrum at Walmart.
    I told them when we got home that I would explain what was happening.
    I told them that I didn't want them to embarrass me nor did I want to embarrass them so if they were doing something they shouldn't I would say you're breaching the third level or I would put my finger on my eyebrow.

      You don't know what patience is if you haven't carried a baby for nearly 10 months in your womb and were sick most of the time. You don't know what patience is if you haven't been up on your toes 24×7 looking after every need of your hapless newborn. You don't know what patience is when you haven't faithfully cleaned them, fed them, played with them every minute of their waking hours....fondly anticipating the time when they would have grown up to do all these by themselves. And you don't know what patience is when you finally realize now that their faculties have developed to good functioning order, all they choose to do with them is throw some kind of a tantrum or the other....which tantrums never seem to end because as it happens you also suddenly realize in their eyes you are no longer the loving, adorable parent they could rely on but a naughty one and indeed a very very very naughty and untrustworthy one at that! So, how many of us at this stage are actually ready to give up on them? Hardly any....(though of course there are crazy exceptions)....and that my dear is Patience.

I reassured him that he wasn't in trouble, but that was not the source of his upset. He explained while trying to catch his breath, that B*tch was the most beautiful word he's ever heard and was devastated he couldn't say it.
