Another added:

A third chimed:

"He wants to get on the bus. The bus on the TV."

One parent's toddler cried because she wanted to do the impossible.

"Won't let her throw books at my face."

Perhaps in the strangest tantrum story, a bemused parent described:

"All that hard on the toilet only to find out your mommy flushed your poo before you got to say your goodbyes."

However, the outlandish reasons didn't end there as another amusing reason from a parent went:

"Wouldn't let her eat the bath bomb."
"I won't let him eat trash," a parent beside themselves offered, while another said:
"She wanted ravioli for dinner. I made ravioli for dinner. She didn't want ravioli for dinner."
