What I learned from parenting toddlers:
- If I like it, it’s mine.
- If it’s in my hand, back off, it’s mine.
- If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
- If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
- If it’s mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway.
- If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
- If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
- If I saw it first, don’t even think it, it’s mine.
- If you are playing with something and you put it down, it becomes mine.
- If it’s broken, it’s yours. Until you fix it. Then it’s mine.
This goes for any member of the family, applicable even with a twin todder sibling.
Yet, What happens when you have ‘it’s mine’ and also have twins?
CHAOS!

LOL I saw this on facebook it`s a while back and it`s so true! Love it.
I love this! And I feel your pain. My 2.5 yr old somehow owns everything in our house.
Mine!
🙂
Love it! Thanks for the giggle!
That scene fron Nemo is one of my favorite. Too funny about the toddlers but so true. 🙂
All of them are true. I have to say number 10 put a smile on my face the most.
So, so true…I only have one toddler, can’t even begin to imagine two at the same time!
HAHA I saw that movie. We quote it all the time and none of us are toddlers.
Ha!! Us too Stephanie!
The kids don’t, but routinely we adults always say that part! lol
Haha!! Oh man, so true 🙂
Love it! Had to share it! 🙂
Thanks for sharing Dory!
Cute and so true!
Cute. Toddlers do have a one track mind don’t they! So wonderful to be a grandparent now.
They certainly do, Larraine!
LOL so true! I love the picture at the bottom!
LOL. SO true! My 2 year old was arguing with DH about something. Then my son screamed out “It’s MY house!” Where do you go from here? 🙂
Story of my LIFE! Sounds so much like my 26 month old son it’s SCARY!
Ha!!! Glad you relate Cheryl!
I like your list. I have grandchildren now and with all the toy ads I hear “I want that” then the other child say “I want that” then the first child says “No it is mine”. They think there is only one item I have to explain that the stores have a lot of that toy and both can have it. The first child does not like that idea. I can’t win.
My DS isn’t even 2 yet and he always wants what his older sister has. This leads to screeching toddler-itis! Wow, it’s gonna be loud around our house for a few years! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
We are all not alone Lisa!
🙂
Ha, it starts young too. There is a babydoll at the daycare that Mya (15 months) has assumed ownership over. For a whole day she would not put it down and if anyone dare come near her and her baby doll her newly found ability to say the word “don’t” would be put to use (along with very loud screeches and waving hands warning to back off!)
Yep, I rasised twin girls. They’re 19 years old now, and still fight like crazy. One thing that tends to hold true with twins though, (did with mine), is that one is usually dominate.
Hilarious and how funny it is that it’s true of every single toddler I’ve ever met!
