When Your Little Ones LOSE IT At The Parks

[graphite1326]

I can't even begin to imagine the awkward & funny looks I'd receive from other guests if I dare tried to carry my grandson back to the resort room.

I don't get this comment at all. Why would you get funny looks for carrying a small child?

'Cuz he's 30?

He's in his young 30's. Before jumping to conclusions, know that he is an incredibly smart young man. He once attended a highly esteemed academy taught by my son before dropping out early due to being too advanced for the curriculum offered. He's very gifted at building machinery and psychology / interpreting what people are thinking. I know the whole tantrum thing sounds bad for his age, but a lot of that, like I mentioned before, is due to the fact his father (my son-in-law) became so distant & preoccupied with his own life. Soon after Ben left the academy, my own son left to retire on some remote island, and could care less about theme parks, etc...so I am pretty much all Ben has to turn to as far as a father figure goes. It's more of an emotional issue with him than a mental deficiency.

But there are still those moments which can lead to high stress, and knowing how the parks can be with all the planning, rushing, crowds, you name it...I was beginning to fear another breakdown in such an environment. It would be as embarrassing for me as it would be for him. Hopefully having me around will keep this from occurring.

Thanks to everyone for all the helpful tips & advice!

I had completely forgotten about Disney's no mask or face-covering policy. He'll just have to do without I suppose. He's managed before, and his hair does seem to always stay in place despite the circumstances.

I don't see you in here, Grandpa. Or any other family members.

That photo was taken several years ago during (what was supposed to be) Ben's school trip with fellow students from the academy he was attending. Unfortunately, due to circumstances surrounding Ben's final days attending the academy, his classmates' plans got.... um, slaughtered, and they were sadly unable to accompany him to Disney.

Yet another venture he had to take on solo. (That seems to be a reoccurring theme in his family).
