Publish Not your original work? Add source Children, quite like Karens, are notorious meltdown makers. In what seems like a fraction of second, they go from little angels bringing joy into our miserable adult world to full-on tantrum machines powered by screaming and crying, rolling on the floor, and cursing like uncle Bob. But parents weren't born yesterday. They either have already found a reliable antidote to such meltdowns and proven way to take back control, or they manage to simply not care and save their nerves when it occurs. So this thread from Ask Reddit has parents sharing the most ridiculous reasons their child had a meltdown, and trust us, it doesn't get any funnier than that. Turns out that virtually anything can be a trigger for a child's freakout, and it can just as well be cute and wholesome.

View more comments Meltdowns are inseparable from having kids. Our little daredevils are notorious tantrum throwers, and it's just a question of severity and frequency with which they occur. There are countless parenting methods created to take back control of a child in meltdown, and ways to make sure it doesn't happen. Tantrums and meltdowns can be generated by a lot of different things: fear, frustration, anger, and sensory overload, to name a few. Moreover, a tantrum isn't a very clear way to communicate, but they're very powerful in getting not just parents' but every onlooker's attention. #4 My daughter got mad because I cut her sandwich into triangles instead of rectangles.

View more comments This article on the Childmind Institute argues that we should think of a tantrum as a reaction to a situation a child can't handle in a more grown-up way. "By talking about how he feels, or making a case for what he wants, or just doing what he's been asked to do. Instead, he is overwhelmed by emotion." "If unleashing his feelings in a dramatic way - crying, yelling, kicking the floor, punching the wall, or hitting a parent - serves to get him what he wants (or out of whatever he was trying to avoid), it's a behavior that he may come to rely on." #7 My son cried himself to sleep in the car one time, because he DIDNT forget his toy hammer at home.

Many people know that and are still willing to make a sacrifice for the better good and having a fulfilling life with kids. Others, however, choose a very different path, which is staying childfree. This is, of course, not to say that people choose not to have kids because it's difficult raising them, rather they make a decision for a complex of reasons. They may range from rising living costs, rising housing prices, widespread concerns about social media and climate change, people's own childhood experiences, and simply not wanting children. #10 I wouldn't buy him a combine harvester, an axe or a cow.

To find out what are the reasons for so many people condemning those who opt for life without kids, Bored Panda spoke with Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist and author of multiple books, including "Be A Great Manager Now", "The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness," and "The Leader's Guide to Resilience." It turns out this has a lot to do with human nature and our tendency to be judgemental toward others. "When we live in a society with others (and this is evident in the animal kingdom), we tend to understand our 'place' in the pack through acknowledging ourselves in comparison to others – with the goal being access to resources," Tang argues. #13 My nephew told me that 7/11 is called that because it's open seven hours a day, eleven days a week. I told him that there aren't 11 days in the week and he lost his little mind.

Further to which, building self-esteem has focused on appreciating the self… but often in comparison to others (e.g. I didn't win… but at least I didn't come last)." She explained that we are brought up judging others to know our position. Moreover, Tang claims that in evolutionary terms, this is perhaps sensible. "By making it clear there is someone else (a 'weaker prey' perhaps) to focus on, we can remain 'safe.'" #16 Full on meltdown last week because I wouldn’t let him take a nap with a bowl of chicken nuggets.

She continued explaining that normative idealization is when you think like "what I do is normal, what you do is odd (it makes our own ego feel better); or to return to my first point of looking outwards - we might alternatively just be picking on others to avoid thinking about our own problems – and something which makes them 'different' is an easy target… and sometimes it means by bringing someone down (rather than working to raise ourselves up), we feel better about ourselves – and don't need to admit we need to do something about our own insecurities." #19 He wanted to recreate Chernobyl for the science fair. permacougar , Vladyslav Cherkasenko Report Final score: 106points POST Jane Thorne-gutierrez Jane Thorne-gutierrez Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Did you name him Sheldon? 52 52points reply View More Replies...

"Judging others in the context of 'who is living life best' is not helpful, it is far more healthy to focus your energies on living your own best life, and if others are inspired, perhaps you can tell them how you did it and what your choices were... if they don't - you just do you."

Someone Wonders What s The Most Ridiculous Reason Your Child Had A Meltdown And 50 Parents Give Hilarious Answers
Ieva Pečiulytė andLiucija Adomaite
Publish Not your original work? Add source Children, quite like Karens, are notorious meltdown makers. In what seems like a fraction of second, they go from little angels bringing joy into our miserable adult world to full-on tantrum machines powered by screaming and crying, rolling on the floor, and cursing like uncle Bob. But parents weren't born yesterday. They either have already found a reliable antidote to such meltdowns and proven way to take back control, or they manage to simply not care and save their nerves when it occurs. So this thread from Ask Reddit has parents sharing the most ridiculous reasons their child had a meltdown, and trust us, it doesn't get any funnier than that. Turns out that virtually anything can be a trigger for a child's freakout, and it can just as well be cute and wholesome.

View more comments Meltdowns are inseparable from having kids. Our little daredevils are notorious tantrum throwers, and it's just a question of severity and frequency with which they occur. There are countless parenting methods created to take back control of a child in meltdown, and ways to make sure it doesn't happen. Tantrums and meltdowns can be generated by a lot of different things: fear, frustration, anger, and sensory overload, to name a few. Moreover, a tantrum isn't a very clear way to communicate, but they're very powerful in getting not just parents' but every onlooker's attention. #4 My daughter got mad because I cut her sandwich into triangles instead of rectangles.

View more comments This article on the Childmind Institute argues that we should think of a tantrum as a reaction to a situation a child can't handle in a more grown-up way. "By talking about how he feels, or making a case for what he wants, or just doing what he's been asked to do. Instead, he is overwhelmed by emotion." "If unleashing his feelings in a dramatic way - crying, yelling, kicking the floor, punching the wall, or hitting a parent - serves to get him what he wants (or out of whatever he was trying to avoid), it's a behavior that he may come to rely on." #7 My son cried himself to sleep in the car one time, because he DIDNT forget his toy hammer at home.

Many people know that and are still willing to make a sacrifice for the better good and having a fulfilling life with kids. Others, however, choose a very different path, which is staying childfree. This is, of course, not to say that people choose not to have kids because it's difficult raising them, rather they make a decision for a complex of reasons. They may range from rising living costs, rising housing prices, widespread concerns about social media and climate change, people's own childhood experiences, and simply not wanting children. #10 I wouldn't buy him a combine harvester, an axe or a cow.

To find out what are the reasons for so many people condemning those who opt for life without kids, Bored Panda spoke with Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist and author of multiple books, including "Be A Great Manager Now", "The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness," and "The Leader's Guide to Resilience." It turns out this has a lot to do with human nature and our tendency to be judgemental toward others. "When we live in a society with others (and this is evident in the animal kingdom), we tend to understand our 'place' in the pack through acknowledging ourselves in comparison to others – with the goal being access to resources," Tang argues. #13 My nephew told me that 7/11 is called that because it's open seven hours a day, eleven days a week. I told him that there aren't 11 days in the week and he lost his little mind.

Further to which, building self-esteem has focused on appreciating the self… but often in comparison to others (e.g. I didn't win… but at least I didn't come last)." She explained that we are brought up judging others to know our position. Moreover, Tang claims that in evolutionary terms, this is perhaps sensible. "By making it clear there is someone else (a 'weaker prey' perhaps) to focus on, we can remain 'safe.'" #16 Full on meltdown last week because I wouldn’t let him take a nap with a bowl of chicken nuggets.

She continued explaining that normative idealization is when you think like "what I do is normal, what you do is odd (it makes our own ego feel better); or to return to my first point of looking outwards - we might alternatively just be picking on others to avoid thinking about our own problems – and something which makes them 'different' is an easy target… and sometimes it means by bringing someone down (rather than working to raise ourselves up), we feel better about ourselves – and don't need to admit we need to do something about our own insecurities." #19 He wanted to recreate Chernobyl for the science fair. permacougar , Vladyslav Cherkasenko Report Final score: 106points POST Jane Thorne-gutierrez Jane Thorne-gutierrez Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Did you name him Sheldon? 52 52points reply View More Replies...

"Judging others in the context of 'who is living life best' is not helpful, it is far more healthy to focus your energies on living your own best life, and if others are inspired, perhaps you can tell them how you did it and what your choices were... if they don't - you just do you."

ShabbyBash Report Final score: 80points POST Tempest Tempest Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago When my elder sister started going to school I would cry saying I too want to go. On the rare occasions my mom would let me accompany her to pick up my sister, I would just walk into her classroom, sit down at a table, and play with the blocks and other materials. When I finally started school myself I hated it so much that for the first few weeks my mom had to drop me and run away while the teachers had to hold an inconsolable me so I wouldn’t run behind her. 30 30points reply View More Replies...

So much so, that at one night as she tucked me in, I looked her dead in the eyes and said "I'll miss you so much when the new baby gets here and I have to run away." I then proceeded to have a hysterical meltdown. This was a few days after I had to be picked up from my grandparents' house one night because they had a kid's stool with the Three Bears on it and it made me bawl because that wouldn't be like my family any more.
