Nobody mentioned the little monster your child can turn into when they are hungry. Sure, they said that one of the reasons kids cry is because they are hungry. But I never imagined being greeted by a toddler-sized Mr. Hyde after the mid-morning nap time.
Of course, I’d heard of the terrible twos. I’d seen parents desperately trying to reason with their toddler as a full-blown tantrum threatened to erupt.
I survived through my nieces’ never-ending “why?” questions when they were three. Although after babysitting them, their questions prompted me to seriously question life, I mean… why is the grass green?
But nobody, not one well-meaning parent, warned me of the challenges of a hungry toddler. Okay, so I know what happens when I get hungry. Those that love and know me are well aware of the survival rule to give me a 10 metre radius until I get something in my belly. Toddlers? Cranky is a serious understatement.
