My kids have never been allowed to throw a tantrum in public. They had a few in the privacy of our own home...they learned quickly that tantrums cost them, usually a small measure of hyde. At 12 and 17, they are fairly well behaved!
Our daughter threw 2 tantrums when she was barely over one year old. Our oldest son, my husband and I, snuck down the hall and into a bedroom, where we could peak around the door and see what she did. She noticed that no one was watching her and she came looking for us, where we all laughed out loud. Didn’t take her long, a second or two, to figure out tantrums fell on deaf ears! We still laugh about it and she is the most beautiful adult scientist Austin Texas ever knew! She never went through the terrible twos, I guess she understood that it would get her no where. LOL
Stop bragging about your children that never threw a tantrum as if that says what a great parent you are!!
Other freeper parents have children with autism who can “lose it” over small things. Have some heart. There are also plenty of small children without autism that can, if sick, tired, or overstimulated ALSO have a big fit.
Now, I agree that the crew decides if the family must leave the plane, and I’d abide by that rule with no lawsuit. I agree with it, and would be taking that risk flying with a small child.
But I don’t like to see freeper parents bragging about how their child never tantrumed. I have one like that too. It had nothing to do with you (assuming the children are kept well fed and enough sleep). Please feel for your fellow freeper parents who have been frustrated and humiliated with children who got out of control through no one’s fault.
No, a belt cannot whip autism out of a child, anyone who wants to post that old saw. You could have whipped my son to death sooner.
