 Topic: So sick of the nagging and whinging

Don't you hate it when from the moment your toddler wakes up they start whinging?
Lately just about everything Ella says is a whine or a nag and it is driving me bananas having to repeatedly tell her to ask me nicely for whatever it is.
I swear I hear "Mummy need some more luuuuuuuunch" at least 20 times a day at the moment.
GAH!

Hope it is not going to be like that soon. She only gets that way if she wakes up in bed and both of us are out of bed already (we co-sleep)
But she stops within about 5 minutes but I cant put her down for about half an hour after that or the whining starts.
Please tell me it is not going to happen to me. I hate whining.

I hate that heaps too but I'm tough on it. I ask for those requests to be repeated in a nice voice but if it happens too often, the choice is fix the voice or go to bed. Sometimes I find a bit of time-out with a book (for the kid that is  ) makes all the difference... sometimes Hannah will even fall asleep and then I realise how tired she must have been!
Whatever you do, I sure hope it doesn't last long

I am tough too, but it still doesn't stop the whining.. some days are worse than others, if she's tired or unwell.. still drives me mad though!
We went through a week of constant whining and crying, hopefully I can put that down to chickenpox even though she was completely energetic apart form the whinging..
SMoody, sorry to tell you but I think all 2 year olds go through this and apparently it doesn't stop either~!

Sorry, ladies... Kiya will be 6 at the end of the month ( where'd the time go!) and she's been a whinger since 20mths old.
I'm tough on her too... sometimes, too tough! but she still grizzles. Doesn't seem to matter how I react, the whining is still there.

yeah kobe doesnt get what he wants till he asks in his happy voice. doesnt seem to learn that if he asked like that in the first place he would get things so much quicker and with less hassle. But its not even always when asking for things, its always muuuuum wheerree aarree youuuuu rather than a simple mum where are you.

At least yours can all say what they want. I just get Xanda trowing temper tantrums and I am suppose to know what he wants, and half the time it is stuff he is not allowed to have. *Note to self - learn to hide things better, so he cannot see them.*

When Zaara wants some thing she starts crying ...but I alsways hold her and say mumma cant understand what you want Zaara...use your words (Tho she still cant talk). Then most times she stops and points or uses what ever words she knows.
But then there are days where she just cries, mostly because she is tired. Oh how I wait for the days when she starts winging with word!!! NOT!!

Hannah isn't much of a whinger, and on the days she does it is almost always related to tiredness so off to bed she goes!

My neice is 3 and she was sick for a week. Now shes better but all its been for nearly 2 weeks is her constantly nagging and whinging and crying and screaming and i swear its non-stop.
I can understand it when she was sick. SHe is only little. But shes better now and back at day care.
Then she expects evreything done for her, like things that she could do just fine by herself before. If her mum doesnt do it she screams her head off. Sheo demands things and gets mad if its not done staight away.
Doesnt help that ive been tired, sick, moody and had a headache the whole time. Throughout the night she wakes up crying and im in the room next door so i get to hear it and wake up too. yay.
Its like shes a different kid really. She used to be so happy and hardly ever cried ( this is before she got sick and before she got spoilt to death on their trip to Thailand) and would chat and play with me all the time. She never speaks a word to me now, when i talk to her she snobs me she likes to give the silent treatment when i growl her about something, but ive done nothing!
Boy i cant wait till my one comes lol
