Obama's and Piers Morgan's tantrums made my day. Oh and yes, my life was shattered when I lost my 2 best friends to gun violence. I'm logical, I don't blame an inanimate object for something bad happening.

Honestly, where do people live where all these kids are constantly throwing tantrums or running wild? I go to public places where children are present every day. I don't see all of this happening. I really don't.

Children should be seen and not heard because it is appropriate. Kids do not or should not dominate adult time. We knew we had our place as children and now due to our childcentric society, we are seeing brats because they have been taught it's all about them all the time. What's going to happen when they become adults? Throw tantrums when someone gets upset when they interrupted a conversation to talk about their new shoes?

The thing that bugs me the most about the "you chose to have kids" or "well don't have kids" argument is that, well, the kids are already here. I can't go back in time and not have them just b/c I'm having some financial difficulty now or complain about dealing with their tantrums. Your argument is moot, doesn't solve anything and is actually a very defensive response meant to stir the pot.

I think a lot of kids need a good spanking. When DH and I were growing up, there weren't many "behavioral issues". I knew if I threw a tantrum, I'd be given something to cry over. I also heard the word "no" a lot. I turned out just fine.

I'm ready to give my ex custody of my 2 y/o. If he's not breaking something or destroying the house he's having an outrageous temper tantrum. I've seriously had ENOUGH! Sometimes I wonder why I had a kid!

Is it wrong if I avoid his phone calls tonight? I just don't feel like talking. My life is the same ol' same ol' kids, tantrums, walk the dog, school, scrub the toilet, it's hot today, tantrums, cook, clean, cook. He can't talk about his days. I just feel like we're in a rut and I hate to bore him with the everyday nonsense that goes on here. I feel like avoiding him until something exciting happens, but that never happens. I've ran out of ways to to communicate with him.

My friend has had a very hard time with her DS (2yrs). Tantrums, being mean to other kids. I suggested 1-2-3- Magic cause of the reviews it got on the mom board. She said she doesn't "believe" in parenting books. What, like they're the tooth fairy or Santa Clause? Your kid is a freaking nightmare! Even hourly care refuses to take him!

I've had enough of my 2yo temper tantrums. Its really awesome bending over prying him off the floor kicking and screaming with a huge belly. I'm seriously beginning to resent my husband for deploying! If he leaves again he will either get me a nanny or I'm leaving him, no way in hell I'll do this with 2 babies!!!!

I get it. You outrank me but I was chosen for the job. Maybe if you quit whining and giving everyone an attitude they would've chosen you. Having tantrums will hurt noone but you. You're doing nothing but proving them right. And looking like a prick in the process.
