My daughter is currently in the midst of the terrible twos.

If you even look at her crooked she has a complete emotional breakdown.

One day recently she cried because I put her shoes on and then cried when I took them back off again. She’s a complex woman.

Now gonna lie there’s been a lot of Percy Pig bribery involved.

3)I put the wrong episode of Strawberry Shortcake on.
4)I didn’t get her breakfast quickly enough.
5)She didn’t want cereal. She wanted oats.

The Peppa Pig ended one was all a bit too relatable for me. Seriously what is the fascination with that pig, she’s so bold?

Wanting to wear clothes that are in the laundry is another one I come up against especially when it’s her favourite pink and purple dress.
