"I don't want to wash!" 17 strange whims of small children

Dear moms and dads around the world, even if it doesn't seem like it, we understand you perfectly. Certainly no one will be here to refute the thesis that having a child is the most beautiful thing you could wish for, but welcoming a little one into the house is a big deal, this is well known. Not only must the little one be cared for, fed, raised, educated, but parents also have to deal with the unreasonable tantrums and whims of their children. Sometimes absurd, exaggerated, unnerving or incomprehensible, the demands the come out with and tears which fall at home can be really difficult to understand. For this reason we have selected some of these difficult moments for you, to let you know you are not alone in these difficulties.

The father of this lively child will no doubt be surprised by the little boy's "request": to start drinking alcohol at this tender age? I don't think so!

My dear child, it is useless to stand there in front of the oven waiting for your favorite food to be ready: you just have to ... be patient. Too bad that at that age, patience is a virtue that is completely unknown!

Brothers in arms or deadly enemies? Not at all, it's just a little healthy competition that arises in the morning, at the table, in front of a steaming cup of milk and cereal. In short, children's things!

The microwave just didn't want to heat up his lunch!

It's a hard life being parent of a small child, right? We bet that your son or daughter has also thrown a tantrum or made strange demands you just don't know how to respond to: are they joking, or are they really distressed about that strange desire? Sometimes itt is useless to try to understand them, our little children can get very worked up, even about the smallest things and it can be difficult for us to deal with and at the same time remain calm in the face of their unreasonable ness or tears. 

But fear not, dear mothers and dear fathers, all this will one day stop, your children will grow up, adolescence will arrive and new, much more complicated problems will come to light: maybe it was better when they cried over the most trivial things, right?
