Today, I took my 2-year-old son to the ear doctor, since he'd stopped responding whenever I call him. The doctor told me that his ears are just fine. He's just ignoring me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was working at a daycare. There was a 6-year-old boy pretending to be my doctor, holding a little, plastic thermometer. He then, without warning, quickly shoved it deep into my ear. The last thing I heard was his giggle. I think I'm deaf. FML
Today, my two year-old son consistently ignores my mom and will crawl towards my dad every time. My mom is now refusing to visit because a two year-old hurt her feelings. I get it, being ignored hurts, but come on, he’s two. FML
Today, I was taking a nap on the couch when my 2 year old daughter decided that daddy needed an ear cleaning. With all the grace of toddler-hood, she stabbed me in the eardrum with a Q-tip. Now I can't hear her coming. FML
Today, I put the little boy I nanny for in time-out. In retaliation he blasted an air horn in my face. I can only hear out of one ear now. FML
Today, I was teaching my two year-old daughter how to take a person's temperature. While I was sitting down, she came up behind me and shoved the thermometer in my ear hard. Now I can't hear out of my right ear, and I'm in excruciating pain. FML
Today, I asked my son to repeat something he had said. He got right up in my face and screamed that it was time I got a "fucking hearing aid." His siblings agreed with him. My husband agreed so much, he won’t even punish him for yelling and swearing, because, “Honestly, we all wanted to scream it.” FML
Today, at midnight, I heard my son calling for his mom. I stopped by his room and asked him what was wrong? He didn't tell me. Instead, he said: "Oh, I don't need you." FML
Today, I got a phone call from my 6-year-old son's school telling me they were concerned about him as he wouldn't stop barking at the radiator. After talking to my husband about it, I found out he's been teaching him so he could see the look on my face. FML
Today, I sang a sweet lullaby to my two year-old son. In the process, he smacked me in the face and told me to please stop. My sister sings to him all the time and he loves it. FML
Today, my son's teacher told me that I should take my son to the doctor, because he has been complaining of bad headaches. They ran some tests, and then removed a peanut that's apparently been lodged in his nose for months. FML

Teach him sign language, he can't fake being blind.

If he doesn't listen in general, I doubt he's going to sit there and pay attention while being taught sign language.

Huh...good luck with him when he's older. I hope you're aware that this won't magically get better. Two-year-olds can be difficult but for you to take him to the doctor he must be ignoring you more than is normal for that age. You should be one of his favourite and most interesting people and one he most needs and depends on...if he doesn't value you enough to listen to you then you can't be that interesting or dependable. Maybe start making changes in those areas before it's too late.

Literally, the exact same thing happened to me 14 years ago with my now 17 year old daughter. I was so embarrassed when my doctor told me that..

Lil Johnny is wiping boogers all over the table, we got to get him to the Dr.. It must be a medical condition, it can't be that we have a spoiled kid...

No shit. You needed a doctor to figure that out?

Oh surely there could have been other ways to test his hearing before going to the doctor.

My son will be two next week and he ignores me too sometimes! Selective hearing at such a young age.. -_-

I would definitely watch him...My mother in law had that happen with my husband when he was 3 and it turns out he had a major fluid build up in his ear and he only had 30% hearing in one ear, and 15% in the other due to it.
