I don’t know about you but I couldn’t help but keep a list of the ridiculous things my children say after seeing Greg Pembroke’s Tumblr, Reasons My Son is Crying, which went viral earlier this year. It all started when he posted pictures online of his three-year-old son, mid-tantrum, alongside the reason he was crying: He had broken his bit of cheese in half. In one month, the blog had received over 5 million hits – it is predicted to reach 14.5 million visits this year!
As soon as I started reading his posts I completely empathised with him as my children have similar reactions to the every day things. The top things my children cry about are:
I said she could have my Ipad
I didn’t bring his scooter when I collected him from nursery
Because she wanted a pack of Peppa Pig stickers and I said yes
Yep, my children seem to cry at the drop of a hat. But now I know I’m not alone! The book Reasons My Kid is Crying was published this month and collects together photos sent to Greg from parents across the globe, documenting the many, completely illogical reasons why small children cry. (‘I let him play on the grass’ . . . ‘We told him the pig says “oink”’ . . . ‘The neighbour’s dog isn’t outside’).
But it is also a poignant reminder, for burned-out parents everywhere, that they’re not alone, and that not all toddler tantrums are tragedies – that it is, in fact, OK to laugh at the universal, baffling logic of toddlers! For more information or to purchase a copy of the book please click here.
