Thread: What to do if it's your child?

How would you handle a situation like this?

Rohypnol or failing that, any convenient large blunt instrument. Parents almost certainly deserve worse, though.

On a related note, vasectomies are a few days of discomfort and a lifetime of peace.

I don't think im equipped to handle a situation like that.

just another budding diva playing up for the camera trained on him.

camera off, slap on the knees and then ignore him completely until he shuts up.

fuck i guess he really hates going to the dentist

Dunno, not sure I would/could.

The Taliban Twins have their moments but thankfully nothing even remotely approaching that. One of them talked back to his mum and kicked a cabinet door last week. I got home to find he has had his iPad privileges removed for two weeks - he was quite philosophical about it and won't be doing that again in a hurry.

Actually come to think of it I'm the one being punished. She's fecking off to Europe and I'll be left with a kid with no iPad.

Could that be Fluke's Ben in a decade's time?

No seat belt on I noticed.

A quiet firm word in his shell to start, then the threat of taking something off him, then the promise of unbridled violence, then piss off down the pub and let his mom deal with it.

Unless he was being taken to his Catholic priest rapist's house for "choir lessons", (and I'd delve into that), first, an unashamed and really heavy whack to the backside. Show him who's boss and what's not acceptable, especially in light of him endangering the whole car-load.
He's obviously learnt his behaviour, so blame on the parents. Starts at 3 months old if your determined enough, a year old if your sensible; Crying and playing up does NOT get you what you want.

I've seen it so many times in diverse families all over....punish for being spoiled, then relent, or Grandma compensates with sweets and kind words...ruining the lesson.

Useless with an already spoiled and entitled child. But fair warning if he has no idea of what will follow.

I had often wondered what colour Trump's hair was when he was young.

Tin Fanta cide guarantees obesity too

The reason I started this thread was/is because my eldest daughter, now coming 10, has melt downs similar to the vid but not as bad. She's always been melodramatic but with time she seems to be getting worse. Her tantrums are always aimed at her mother. Her mother ignores her best as she can but everyone has their breaking point. That's when I have to step in to restore peace.
I get my missus to walk away but my daughter then goes into a baby like mode where she follows her mother around with her arms out like a young child wanting to be picked up. It usually ends up with the mother cuddling her to calm her down.
We've tried the discipline route by removing her phone and treats but just the threats increase the severity of the tantrums.
I have two other kids who behave really good and in no way behave in the same fashion.

^ thats when all the fun will start

On the plus side, it'll only be another 20 years or so until she burns through the tantrums, truanting, terrible classroom misbehaviour, dead-end jobs, casual sex, and drink and drug abuse and decides to start behaving reasonably.

Pull over and wait for the tantrum to pass and again the next time etc...

Sounds like she's attention seeking off her mom. Your wife needs to sort that out by being firmer with her or you're gonna be stuck with your very own Veruca Salt

It wont be easy getting your missus out of her quintessentially Thai confrontation avoidance safety zone though Imho

Stop the car and wait.

Exactly how I see it. Whether it's a negative or positive attention she's achieved her aim. My wife is firm with her and I sometimes think she'll tip her mother too far when I'm not here. Not that I'm ever away really.

Pulling over before the little shit causes an accident is a good move. Only I would make sure to get a distance from home that would make him miserable to walk back. Wait for him or tell him to get put of the car, then drive off.

How does something as placid as this



become this in 9 years.

Shame that such a lovely lady should become such a demon.
But what happened with the baby.

At least the mother has her moods swings to blame her tantrums on but the daughter is yet to get to that age, God forbid.
