Ten things that prove toddlers were created to test our patience

And that toddler parents deserve a medal.

Anna O'Rourke

“Have a baby,” they said. “It’ll be the best experience of your life,” they said.

It is true that being a parent is very fulfilling, but it also becomes very testing when that cute little lump of a baby learns to walk and talk.

Toddlers are gas, most of the time, but sometimes they’re the most annoying beings on the planet.

Here are ten things that definitively prove toddlers were created to test our patience.

 

1.Normal human sleep patterns mean nothing to them

 

2.They have an answer for everything

 

3.And are often just downright cheeky

 

4.They’re hungry ALL THE TIME

 

5.And yet don’t like anything you make them

 

6.They’re not always in great form

 

7.And can be very wriggly when they want

 

8.Their table manners need work

 

9.They’re just a bit manky

 

Like, really manky

 

10.And like to make odd demands

 

But, in fairness, you wouldn’t change a thing.
