On Monday, I asked you to tell me why your kids are crying (because THEY ARE ALL CRYING) to help promote the launch of Greg Pembroke’s hilarious new photo book called, you guessed it, “Reasons My Kid Is Crying
I strongly encourage everyone to go through the comments on my blog, on facebook, and on instagram because they make you feel so much better about the miniature tyrants having fits over banana brown spots and hardened playdough at your own home.
The five winners of the book were picked at random, but before we get to those, I want to share some of the entries from people who submitted photos. They are a nice reminder that instead of grabbing a tissue when your kid starts crying, you should grab your camera.
Here are 30 more reasons your kids are crying…
And the winners are…
Jax: “Because I got bangs.”
Caren: “I separated the bagel into two pieces.”
Laura: “I wouldn’t let him push his little fingers into my throat to make that noise he really likes that I make when I can’t breathe.”
Cindy: “Because it’s picture day at school and the nice lady pointed the camera at him.”
Elizabeth Z: “I won’t let her press ‘the button’ on the cat, the one right under his tail.”
The winners on Instagram are…
@rbtzn: Because she couldn’t recognize her father without his glasses.
@wildgeesethatfly: Because I won’t let him put my iPhone in a glass of water.
@saradury: Because I picked him up when he asked to be picked up.
@meganc42082: Because he threw his binkie across the room in the middle of the night.
@rheannonboddie: Because I wouldn’t give him a bite of raw chicken while I was making dinner.
Congratulations! You have each one a copy of “Reasons My Kid Is Crying
As soon as your kid stops crying.

My son cry and refuses to eat his cookies if they break, even if it’s only a crumb!
This morning, she started crying because when I dropped her off at school, I walked on the same side of the railing on the stairs to the school as her, she wanted me to go back down and up the other side, I said no.
Because I can’t drive from the back seat.
These are hilarious. I must say though certain times of the month I breakdown too when that one piece of chocolate I know I saved in the house, is already gone because someone else ate it. I can feel the weight of the world crashing down on me upon that realization.
Hahahahahaha I feel much better about how sensitive my child is now. Apparently so is everyone else’s child.
The brushing teeth one!!!! It’s an everyday battle in my house too. Especially when we tell her she can’t use mommy or daddy’s tooth brush.
Last night Caitlyn ran into her room in hysterics because her dad picked her up and moved her out of the way after politely asking her several times to let him pass by. When I went to check on her, and asked her what was wrong, she told me “My daddy pushed a child”.
So funny. Moved my 7 YR old son, by the back of the collar, while he was sitting cross legged on the floor I was mopping, after asking him to move several times of course. He proceeded to cry and tell me that he ” just cant believe that a mother would try to kill her own child”. His sister and I laughed at him……. Drama King
Because an airplane flew by and she missed it and I couldn’t bring it back to show her.
Because her “lollipop’s top called down.”
Also known as: “She Bit It In Half And Now It’s Smaller.”
Because Flynn Rider cut Rapunzel’s hair off.
I totally get that. Any time of month.
Because daddy was home before we got home. (Normally we got hom first.)
Because I flushed her pee down the toilet…
That is a totally rational reason to cry… at any time during the month.
Because I call her “my baby”.
My nephew crys cuz his mom puts him in her car not mine.
Yelling “wrong car! Wrong car!” Every time.
The swimming lesson that he had been asking for everyday since the last one finally arrives and it’s time to go
My son bawled his eyes out because we have him food. So we took it away, so he cried more. So we gave it back. Continued crying. There was literally no solution lol
Because the sky is not the same color as his blue crayon.
… Because the dog poops outside and not in the toilet in the house.
My oldest (now 21) when he was an infant, cried any time we put him in the car, unless we sang “The Ants Go Marching” the entire time we were driving. No other song would do and the radio wasn’t good enough.
Because I cheered for Jeremy Maclin
I cry whenever I am reminded we don’t have a bobsled, too.
One time my youngest was crying for no apparent reason. We asked her if the dog was looking at her and she said yes. So basically, she was crying because our dog was looking at her foot.
She had to wear the same blue socks to daycare every day. 20 years later I still get a knot in my gut. She has no memory of any blue socks and she is a beautiful courageous young woman.
My sister said all of her girls ages 3, 5 and 6 all started to cry because they thought there were no calendars at the North Pole. They’d reached beyond the point of exhaustion that day.
My fav was when my daughter cried because I couldn’t turn the sun off and it was in her eyes while I was driving. The kicker was through her tears she said – but Daddy can do it!
Because she can’t eat FROZEN chicken nuggets or corn dogs or pizza rolls ect.
My one and a half dropped to her knees crying because I put her hot dog in the microwave.
My 4 year old hysterically standard crying when My 8 year old got her hair cut.
This might as well be called “Reasons I use birth control”.
because he threw his toy on the floor in the truck & I cannot reach the third row from the driver’s seat while we are on the highway to pick it up for him…or his big brother, because it’s not spring break like he thought it should be and he doesn’t want to go to school…or because he refused to put the lid on his water bottle and the water spilled out when he tipped it sideways…
My son does that too with cookies, crackers, anything that isn’t whole. Even when he is the one who breaks it.
Its
Because when she offered me a bite of her fruit snack, I bit the head instead of the body. Apparently, I’m a monster.
Because he woke up with a little bit of eye drainage matted on his eyelashes. He started crying “I can’t open my eyes!” He then started crying bc I tried to clean it off.
Because we opened his chip packet upside down.
Because I didn’t choose the lane she wanted me to be in at an intersection.
My daughter cried because she didn’t like the meal I’d made, I wouldn’t make anything else, she’d eaten the same thing recently. Apparently I wanted her to starve and then die of starvation…obviously!!
My 4 year old had a screaming crying fit the other night because he insisted that the slightly browned cheese on his pineapple pizza was, “Crust! I KNOW it’s crust!” He also cries when his Daddy flushes the toilet instead of letting him do it. And when I make him plug in the phone/tablet/Innotab he’s been playing with all day before he goes to bed so the battery won’t be dead the next time he wants to play it.
Because I wouldn’t let my daughter eat dog jerky treats.
When my daughter was 2 she threw the biggest fit ever because I wouldn’t let her drink dirty dish water. I went to get her a drink of water from the refrigerator and she cried more. She didn’t like that water it was yucky.
[…] I came across this blog that has a feature “30 Reasons Your Kids Are Crying” and it was hysterical. Laughing at kids crying feels a little wrong, but when you read the […]
As a child, my brother cried and refused to eat because there was a tiny hole in his sock. He believed the food in his tummy would fall out. Took forever to figure that one out! It was easier to figure out the bit his own finger to see if it would hurt….it did.
The workings of a kids’ mind is mysterious, isn’t it? You wonder how they think and get upset by these things.
My 11 year cried because we moved… Down the street. He didn’t even have to change schools. He told me when he was 18 he was going to buy our old house back.
When my daughter turned 3, She was learning to use scissors. Went crying to mommy sobbing uncontrollably saying “Daddy won’t let me cut up his pay check.
My 2nd baby is a boy which I noticed almost every photo my son cries for all of these things and more im glad to see its some what normal lol and its a boy thing lol 😉 thanks again
My 4 year old found out she was niece… And not just a grandchild.

My mom enjoys reminding me at every birthday party I have that I used to scream bloody murder when people sang happy birthday to me.
My daughter did that on her 3rd birthday lol
This past Christmas, my great niece (2 year old) was having a crying, screaming fit. When her grandfather asked her what was wrong, her response…”I’m just too emotional!”
Because she broke a glow Sticks on her hands and thought she was going to glow in the dark forever
It will start like one of these two: “Mom, I love you” or “mom, you’re my best friend.” Then my reply falls … BEWARE!!! “I love you to, darling.” or worse “You’re my best friend too.” The “I love you one” there’s a 50% chance of instant crying. The second is 100% … Because SHE is the one loving ME! Then I can’t love her too! Also it is I who am HER best friend. I’m not allowed to have her as my friend at all xD Also there was one day in play land where she had “made a puzzle” and her dad just wanted to correct it a little by turning over 2 of the 12 pieces, that she had turned in a 90 degree angle … BAM and dad had “RUINED THE WHOLE DAY!” … Toddlers …
My 5 year old cried because his hotdog was warmed up.
When my son was young (now 39 years old) was crying hysterically because he had a hug and had no where to put it.
