Me: Tee? Do you want your dinner now or later? You can have a bath first or you can eat first? Which is it?
Tee: I want to eat first.
Me: OK. Are you sure? I’ll go prepare your food now then. Do you want your food now?
Tee: What is my choice, Mommy?
Me: You can choose to have your food now. Or not.
Tee: No! What is for dinner??? I want Quaker Oats….
Me: You are having spinach rice with fish.
Tee: I don’t WANT spinach rice with fish!!
Me: Don’t eat then. That’s all there is on the menu tonight.
Tee: *whining starts escalating into a tantrum*
Does this sound familiar? Whoever said offering options to toddlers was a good thing?! This little princess is so used to having a world of options and getting her way a lot that she has turned into what she thinks is God’s gift to the world. Excuse me? Just wait till I kick her off to boot camp aka Chinese School!!! She will have such a rude shock, she might start taking drugs to cope with the harshness of life.

that is why I NEVER give them options!
and here i was beginning to think i was a bad mom. i was thinking wow…am i supposed to give him all these choices?
then you brilliantly ended it with the true way on how to handle toddlers. you know they’re always running the show. i’m tired.
not happen yet, as my son still dont know speak well..
my way of giving them options is like yours. Either you eat what’s served, or you go hungry. It’s never too early for them to learn to appreciate mummy’s effort.
hehehe. just read somewhere over the weekend: “ask your kid what they want to eat only if they are paying’.
You have been tagged woman!! 🙂
that look on her face is quite a mess. cute though.
so you made up your mind that she’s going to boot camp?
