Waiting for a tantrum to end.

I'm currently sitting against the door to my 5year old daughters room watching her have a massive tantrum. 
I'm waiting for her to stop screaming for 1 minute then she can go back to her dinner. 
I've been here for 40mins. 

Anyone know any good jokes to keep me amused?

Have you considered the bed without dinner option.

That's what I'd be doing.

I think it's a case of "who dares wins" in this contest ;-)

Good luck. She will give in eventually. Just remember not to get angry and don't display emotion until it is all over!

I won!! 
I refused to negotiate. 
Timer starts when she's quiet & resets when she goes again. 
Totally a battle of wills, but we got there & she's her happy self again now. 
Wee buggers. 

Best joke was text to me by my brother. 

What kind of bees make milk?

Boobies!

I'm trying to get my (nearly) two year old to apologise for biting. Having a paddy. He knows the word, but currently in danger of going China Syndrome.

Have you considered the dangling out of the window by one leg option ?

That's what I'd be doing.



Probably best I never had kids really.

Our boys both had rare toddler tantrums. We would stick them in the hall, shut the door and totally ignore them. Eventually they would quieten down, and a bit later the door would sheepishly open. We never asked for an apology or made any mention at all of the incident.

We used to put ours by the front door for a bit to calm them down when they were about 3 or 4. Worked pretty well. I thought.

Last week my daughter, now nearly 14, suddenly started complaining about a time my mother-in-law visited and we put my daughter by the front door, and all she'd done was say "I don't know" and it was so unfair. 

She'd been storing that bitter memory for ten years before complaining! 

So be careful what you're laying down for the future!
