"I wouldn't let him to jump down the stairs": 17 capricious children cry for the most absurd reasons

How wonderful is it to be a parent? The happiness that a child brings to a couple's life is indescribable, but it wouldn't be correct to represent parenthood only in this way. Being a mum and dad also means being responsible for another life, it means fatigue and self sacrifice - all factors that, at times, can throw a family's balance into crisis. The important thing to remind yourself in these cases is that these are temporary moments: children will grow up sooner or later and we, as parents, won't always be struggling with dirty diapers and hysterical crying due to some whim. Babies crying, you know, can be a real headache, after all it's designed to elicit care and attention from parents. Children cannot help but cry and hold on to whatever is upsetting them in the moment. You will be amazed, in fact, to learn the reasons (each one more absurd than the next!) why these wonderful children are so desperate: have fun!

When you remove the train from the rails, but then you cry in despair because it's no longer on the rails. How can you console a soul so lost and confused about what to do?

It doesn't matter if the prohibition refers to a play activity, to the last toy you want so much, or if it is for the very valid reason such as that expressed by the mother of this child, - they will always cry!

He wanted square toast, but there was only one type of bread in the kitchen: now it's a real tragedy!

When there are dangers involved you have to be firm ... but it's so difficult to compete with such sulks?

All these tears are due to the fact that her mother has forbidden her to eat cocoa butter, throw herself in the pond and throw the cereal on the floor. In addition, the dog ate the snack that she herself had offered him. All of this can suddenly become a cause for great desperation!

 We can have a little sympathy with this: what is the point of pizza without cheese? The problem is that he ate it all by himself ...
