Let’s be honest, toddler life isn’t always easy. Toddlers are like little enigmas; they can’t articulate their feelings well, and they grapple with everyday tasks like using the toilet, taking baths, and getting dressed. Yet, they live lives of luxury that many adults would envy. If my little one is too tired to walk, I’m more than happy to carry her—now that’s what I call service!
But despite all this pampering, the complaints can be endless. So, I decided to take a peek into my toddler’s mind and share some of the hilarious First World problems she faces daily.
- I couldn’t escape the high chair, so I flung a waffle at my brother’s head.
- I craved a Popsicle, but my mouth was stuffed with cereal, so I had to spit it on the floor. Now my shirt is wet. I need a change!
- My cheese slice cracked, and Mom wouldn’t give me a replacement.
- I had a messy diaper, which forced me to hold still—without eating it.
- Dad was busy doing the dishes, so I had to self-soothe.
- I played with dog poop, yet now Mom insists I wash my hands.
- I threw up on myself, and no one will cuddle me.
- I kicked off my shoes at the park because they annoyed me, and now I have a splinter. Someone kiss my feet!
- Mom wouldn’t stop for fast food, so I had to settle for an organic granola bar.
- Dora the Explorer vanished from Netflix, so now I’m stuck watching Blue’s Clues.
- I had a pacifier in my mouth and one in each hand, but I still needed the one sitting on the table.
- I was forced to wear pants to the store.
- Mom won’t let me play in the new dishwasher, so I threw my sippy cup at the TV.
- I had to take off my clothes before hopping in the bath.
- My Peppa Pig life jacket makes me float every time we hit the beach.
- I can’t just use the pet door whenever I want.
- Mom wouldn’t let me lick the sunscreen off my arms, even though it smelled delicious and felt sticky.
- I have to sleep in the Peppa Pig bed I chose for my birthday.
- The dog booted me from the dog bed.
- Since Mom was busy, Dad had to carry me.
Toddlers are essentially walking examples of First World problems. They whine about the simplest inconveniences, convinced the world is against them, even though they live pretty cushy lives.
Yet, that’s the challenge of parenting toddlers. They are raw, unfiltered beings that require guidance on everything — and I mean everything! The lessons may be simple, but they’re crucial because no parent wants their grown child acting like a toddler.
