Trashcan addiction

Today, I finally got my 18 month-old to throw away her trash and dirty diapers. Now she throws everything away, and I can't get her to stop. FML

Don't worry -- everyone grows out of that stage! It's been years since I've thrown away my dirty diapers.

Adorable. Your child will learn soon enough.

Mine too! He has thrown away mugs, an egg cooker, and a thermos lid... that we know of. Does your little one also take random things back out of the trash too? Soda cans, banana peels, discarded fruit pieces... LOL

I had the same issue with most of mine. Don’t worry, she’ll outgrow it within a few months. Until then, place the trash cans higher (like on a chair) to prevent her from throwing everything away.

All three of mine went through the same phase, just make sure you check the bin before you empty it 👍👍🤞

Get a second trashcan and tell her what goes in what - that way, what isn't trash will be in the clean bin but she'll still have thrown it away.
