30 Tweets About #WhyMyKidIsCrying That Will Have You Wondering If You Remembered Your Birth Control Today
You're constantly being told that you aren't allowed to do things, like eat that crayon you so desperately desire. Come on, how ridiculous!
Kids can turn the smallest disappointment into a full-scale meltdown, and parents know that chaos can strike over the most ridiculous things. One minute everything is fine, the next there are tears because a snack is gone, a rule exists, or the world simply failed to cooperate.
That is exactly why the hashtag #WhyMyKidIsCrying took off, giving parents a place to share the wildly specific reasons their children lost it. The posts are funny, painfully relatable, and proof that toddler logic is its own universe.
Scroll through these meltdowns, because some of them are almost too real.
