A toddler’s emotions can be difficult to comprehend, something most parents might relate to. Their reactions may be justified on some situations; on other occasions they scream, sulk or have a meltdown with a reason, and are obviously in no mood to listen.
On a viral Reddit thread, some parents shared instances of the “most recent illogical breakdown” their toddlers have had. Take a look:
