As a parent, you're no stranger to the tantrums that come with toddlerhood. But have you ever wondered what triggers these meltdowns? For one mum, the answer was a whopping 44 reasons in just one day.

From wanting to wear the wrong Elsa shirt to not being able to open a muesli bar wrapper, this little girl's tantrums were a never-ending list. Her mum shared the reasons on Babyology, giving us a glimpse into the chaos of toddler life.
