25 Hilarious Ways to Drive a Toddler Crazy
If you’re a parent, you know that at some point, you’ll have a tiny tornado of emotions living in your home—otherwise known as a toddler. They’re adorable and can crack you up, but they’re also incredibly easy to annoy. Here’s a lighthearted look at some surefire ways to test their patience!
- Dress them in jeans instead of their beloved sweatpants.
- Give them a hug that’s either too tight or too loose.
- Serve salad at mealtime.
- Show affection to any siblings in front of them.
- Don’t let them ride on your back while you try to do push-ups.
- Avoid locking eyes with them during potty training.
- Stand at the end of the big slide at the park—just because you did it for their sibling doesn’t mean you have to for them.
- Wear those new fancy shoes you regret letting them try on—they now think they’re theirs.
- Shoot them a stern look.
- Don’t allow them to push those tiny carts at the grocery store on a day when you just can’t handle the drama.
- Let their siblings hop on the school bus without them.
- Prevent them from chatting with Grandma on the phone for hours—by chatting, I mean smiling at the phone while you try to coax a word out of them.
- Don’t let them see themselves on your phone while trying to snap a picture.
- Forget to kiss the exact place they got hurt—even if it’s their rear end.
- Mention that bedtime is approaching or suggest putting on clothes or eating lunch—really, anything at all.
- Keep them from drinking from every water fountain in libraries or airports.
- Hold a baby in front of them.
- Offer them something other than yogurt, crackers, or noodles.
- Go to another room without letting them know—no warning, just vanish!
- Forget that Wednesdays are reserved for them to sit on your lap all day.
- Attempt to show them how to zip a zipper.
- Buckle them into their carseat on a Tuesday.
- Say something awful like, “You need to wear shoes to go outside.”
- Forget that pressing buttons on the washing machine is now their job since you let them do it once.
- Don’t help when they specifically said they don’t want help and now they’re stuck in their clothes.
