LOL! Nope she didn't! The wooden spoon was sort of an empty threat. 'The look' was enough to send you into tears, you really knew you did something wrong and were to never do it again! Maybe the wooden spoon would of been used if I still behaved badly after 'the look'
Most children who throw tantrums are two or three years old and wouldn't remember throwing the tantrum when they were an adult.
I held my breath. I don't remember doing it, but my mother told me about it later. My brother bit a stuffed animal once. My stuffed animal. He wanted to punish Mom, but he wasn't going to harm one of HIS OWN stuffed animals, lol. That was one of mom's funnier stories for us.
You should ask your parents. I will bet you they remember at least one instance of you being a brat and throwing a fit.
My congratulations to your parents, for having the one child in all the land who did cry once, due to disappointment caused by injustice, but who never, ever, even as a toddler, threw any sort of fit.
And this is where I never judge a tantruming child or parent. I never assume I know what's going on, and even the BEST kids can have a meltdown sometimes, and even the best parents can have a child throw a fit in the worst way! I'm always sympathetic to the parent...I'm sure it's horribly embarrassing and stressful enough without the judging glares, condescending looks and nasty comments whispered from strangers. <3
That's not a tantrum.
Wasn't my child, but about 5 years ago I was on Main Street and I spied a small gentleman, whom I really wanted to get a picture with and maybe an autograph. It was Warwick Davis of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Life's too Short, etc. fame.We talk about kiddos we see throwing tantrums all over WDW, but has it ever been YOUR child? Over tired, hungry, over heated and having some kind of nervous breakdown in the middle of your vacation? What was the story/reasoning behind it?
My middle son did that to me in the middle of a mall in Atlanta. He was 4. We were shopping for his mother's birthday; she was 6 months pregnant with number 3 and home with number 1. I told middle son that we would not be getting anything for him and naturally when we got there he wanted to go to Kaybee toy store. We didn't and that started the meltdown, ending with me carrying him out while he screamed, "Help, I don't know this man, he is not my daddy!!" Nobody stopped us either. Good thing, I was in no mood. He's 29 now and denies this ever happened.My daughter as lovely and well mannered as she is, she is one of the best tantrum throwing kids I know! My episode was not in Disney (She has had a few there too) I was shopping in a Marshall's when DD (4) wanted a tutu. I said no and all hell broke loose. She was screaming on the floor. Of course I'm starting to sweat and have red face knowing people were watching me, just waiting for me to loose it. I picked her up put her over my shoulder walked out of the store. All the while she screamed "YOUR NOT MY MOMMY" Weird thing is that no one stopped me!! LOL It was pouring rain I threw her into the car and I stood outside the car in the pouring rain so I could calm down. Ahhhhhh kids.... they are great!
How bout dem SOX!!!!!!!! Man, I did NOT want a Game 5 with TB.
Last night was glorious. They have a long way to go, but this entire season has been really fun to watch. I would have few complaints if they stopped here.
