30 Hilariously Accurate Posts About Children’s Temper Tantrums
Tantrums come in all forms and sizes. You might witness stiffening limbs, screaming, kicking, falling down, flailing about, or just running away. In some cases, children even hold their breath, vomit, break things, or hurt themselves and other people.
However, they're a normal part of development, so parents just have to arm themselves with patience, and humor, of course! So in order to help everyone endure this journey, we put together a collection of tweets that highlight the funny side of temper tantrums.
Continue scrolling, upvote your favorites, and don't forget to check out the chat we had with Vicki Broadbent, a mother of three and the creator of the acclaimed family and lifestyle blog, Honest Mum — you'll find it in-between the entries.

Witnessing other peoples’ kids have temper tantrums is great birth control for others, too! XD

After reading these posts I'm thinking about a spray bottle like we use on cats. Just throwing this out there. I don't do serious advice on BP

I’m not a parent, but this one seems mean (even as a joke.) AFAIK temper tantrums in young kids happen because they can’t process and express the emotions they’re feeling. So they’re not “acting like an ässhole” - they don’t KNOW what they’re doing or what they’re feeling. Older kids past age 7ish though? XD Yeah, if THEY’RE throwing a temper tantrum, that’s absolutely them being a bum orifice.

I feel like I shouldn’t be laughing as hard at this as I am. Whatever, Hell is just a pizza chain in my country.

My old cat does that with boxes. Like once or twice a month she'll sit in a box and look grumpy for a few minutes and then she'll leave.

Spaghetti-Os seem to taste better right out of the can than they do heated. Am I wrong?

You pick up the little disruption....and you LEAVE. That's it, that's what you do. If that means that you miss out, too bad. Unless the place has a cartoon mascot, they didn't belong in there to begin with due to this precise eventuality. Your options are either to go to a family friendly place, get a sitter, get delivery, or eat leftover dino-nuggets while standing over the trash can where your choices can't ruin anyone elses night.

I must have raised angels. Tantrums in my house lasted less than 2 minutes. Maybe because I just walked away and ignored them till they calmed down?

In my experience, the best way to get a kid to like a weird (for a child) food is if you love it too. My daughter was about 18 months the first time she tried sushi. Ever since then, when I get sushi, she does too. Even after she found out it's raw fish!

My 3 year old (almost 4) threw a temper tantrum that consisted of a scream that could shatter glass. All because his brother was playing with a car he wanted. After assuring myself he had not been attacked by a rogue bear, I calmly told him if he screamed like that again I was going to toss him out the front door. A few weeks later he was visiting again and wound himself up to the point of doing the same thing again. He took a deep breath, glanced at me and at the front door, and promptly blew out the breath. With a wobbly little smile he said "I didn't scream like that nana." Poor little fella, I would never lay a hand on my grandkids but he doesn't know that.

I was confused there for a second, because why would your toddler only visit you, but then you said you are their nana. It confused me that you said „my 3 year old“, you see, lol

How many of these parents are aware that tantrums happen when kids get overtired? If your kid throws a tantrum, get them to a nap. I found that wiping my son's face with a damp facecloth was so effective at helping him 'reset,' that years later he would wipe his face to calm down.

None. No parent has ever heard that a child tantrums because they are tired. Or hungry. Or overwhelmed. We are completely unaware of these things.

The ideal solution to tantrums : get the genetic material from a fainting goat, inject it into the kid. If they get themselves worked up, they'll faint.
