Sure, your child is your most precious gift from God, and parenthood is a life experience like no other. But sometimes things don't always go your way. There are times when your children seem to make you think the exact opposite. Like when they follow Murphy's advice instead of adhering to a few, very sensible parenting rules.
As you probably know, Murphy's Law is an age-old theory that states, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." We'll review 7 Murphy's Laws for toddlers to see if your child follows some (or all) of them!
Murphy's Law #1: Your child will be on their best behavior around strangers.
How many times have you been in a social situation with your toddler and the person you're talking to is innocently talking about your son and commenting, "What a well-behaved kid!" and then you're stunned and those big eyes come across your face and you respond with a sneer, "Wait! I just got here. He'll be back in no time."
“Well, actually that moment will never come, and this person gives you such a suspicious look (a cute kid being accused of something he's not) that it leaves you feeling like the worst person on earth.
Murphy's Law No. 2: I want the toy - wants to play with the one that's broken or lost
Yes, he only has a basket or two for his toys. But guess which one he really wants to play with? The one he hasn't seen in days, even though he has exact copies of the same toy. Of course, you'll try to explain to him that the horse he can't find is exactly the same as the other one in front of him. And of course, he won't be satisfied, he won't agree to that. And don't forget that toy he dropped while playing. He wants it now. Kids!
Murphy's Law No. 3: His favorite food changes. (Hint: Of course, the opposite of what you cooked.)
Since you're a kind person, willing to make sacrifices for your child, you'll naturally prepare his favorite dish. Your child has had a long day at school, and you want to pamper him because... because he deserves it, of course! And as he usually does, he'll be exploring the kitchen to see what you've cooked for dinner.
Of course, you expect his eyes to light up with joy. What he doesn't expect is, "You made him soup again?" He exclaims, "I was hoping to eat pizza today..." This is after he recently stated that he wanted soup for dinner.
Murphy's Law No. 4: He'll tear his clothes off like never before.
After you specifically told him to be more careful with his clothes, he's now proving his responsibility. There's a wedding in your family, and you've got him an expensive outfit. So naturally, you don't want him to tear it.
You warn him not to play games that could damage his clothes. And guess what? Just an hour later, you can't tell if it's really your son or some street urchin! With mud stains on his knees and grass stains on his shirt, your son has outdone himself—he's never damaged any piece of clothing as effectively as these!
Murphy's Law #5: Your child will get sick on the same day you can't miss your shift.
You have a very important meeting and you need everything according to your daily routine. However, the second you get out of bed, you have a strange feeling that something isn't quite right. Sure enough, minutes later, your child walks into your room and announces that he or she isn't feeling well.
touch his forehead and feel hotOnce the thermometer announces that it has Fever At 40 degrees, you make a call at work and tell your boss that you'll be working from home. To add to your woes, that's the day your maid decides to be absent.
Murphy's Law No. 6: Your kid will embarrass you in the worst way possible.
After you’ve praised him for being a good boy for a day, your child decides to surprise you by acting like a little angel straight out of heaven. Naturally, you praise him and decide to take him to his favorite toy store as a reward. But exactly five minutes later, he’s completely taken aback. He runs around the store, pointing at almost every toy and loudly begging, “Can you buy me this? Please?” as if he’s never seen a toy in his life.
And every time you say no, other people look at you with the most judgmental expressions. More often than not, you end up deciding to buy something, just to have those curious people stop looking at you!
Murphy's Law No. 7: When you yell at him, he'll make a cute face. And of course, you'll melt at his romantic expressions.
Your son did something that you told him straight out, and you were ready to give him a good reprimand. But in the middle of your lecture, your retinal gets this sad look in his eyes, and you immediately feel bad and decide to stop yelling at him.
You forget the enormity of what he did and quietly ask him not to do it again. And if he seems so upset, how can you stop yourself from hugging him?
It is true that children can be few and know how They test our nerves and patience.. But then we were pretty much the same when we were their age, weren't we? Stay strong, one day your grandchildren will get their revenge! Just kidding ?
