I ignore him. He has massive paddies and throws himself / things around him onto the floor, but i just get up and leave the room and leave him to it. He's in a paddy right now and is trying to mash his raisins into the floor - jokes on you Thomas, raisins dont mash into wooden floors!
We'll be going to the supermarket soon, he'll scream the whole way there, the whole way round and all the way back, but hey.. what are ya gonna do right? ]]> Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:41:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=944489&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#944489 <![CDATA[What do you do when they are grumpy? : I have 2 strategies.

I have 2 strategies. One is we sit on the couch and cuddle with a snack and the other is to do his fav things like the swing or get pushed in his car. ]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:45:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=944130&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#944130 <![CDATA[What do you do when they are grumpy? : i do pretty much the same as peanut...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=943428&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#943428 Author: Troods

i do pretty much the same as peanut too but sometimes all she wants is lots of cuddles until she gets over it.

i see you have a new ticker there. congrats

so happy for you.]]> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:15:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=943428&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#943428 <![CDATA[What do you do when they are grumpy? : similar to what Peanut does -...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=943309&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#943309 Author: jaycee

similar to what Peanut does - but it is mostly about giving her some space which is what she wants. It is like she needs some time to digest/process all the stuff that she does during the week.

Also loving the new ticker

Congrats on your preg! How exciting for you.

Leave them too it. When these boys grump I walk away and let them deal with themselves and then deal with the mess later.

I will be watching this with interest as I seem to end up with a grumpy boy for the first few days DH goes back to work. This has been our first time that he has noticed (DH's second shift round) so I have just been doing what I can. Going outside to water the lawn normally works or even just going outside (Alex can only go to a little bit of outside on the deck at the mo so getting to go outside outside is still a novelty)

eta: Congrats on the pregnancy Kebakat!

Oh good topic we are having a grumpy stage each day at the moment. I kind of cheat and put him in the car and go for a drive, he grumps for the first 5mins and then enjoys the ride.]]> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:00:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=943188&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#943188 <![CDATA[What do you do when they are grumpy? : What do you do when your toddler...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=943089&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#943089 Author: kebakat

What do you do when your toddler is grumpy, for no apparent reason and just doesn't wanna be helped? Be nice to have some ideas when Daniel is in a foul mood like he is right now!]]> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:32:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31759&PID=943089&title=what-do-you-do-when-they-are-grumpy#943089
