I'm not going to lie... Im dealing with an almost 4yo whose favorite word is "No", the slightest inconvenience (real or imagined) results in a full blown meltdown and when I get frustrated my wife keeps acting like I'm being the unreasonable one because I'm sick of my daughter going full blown "WHY GOD!?! WHYYYYYY!?! YOU BASTARD!!!" Because I told her she can have ice cream after dinner, not before.

Its exhausting, and my wife wants a second one.

I really struggle with those cases too. If I flat out tell my kid "No" and he gets upset? That makes perfect sense to me. But so often now he's having a meltdown and I am literally saying, "Why are you crying? You will get everything you want if we just finish this thing first!

If it helps at all, since posting this she has gotten better at dealing with stuff like this.
