I've got two kids. While driving, a bird pooped on our car window on one side of the car. The kid farthest from that side of the car looked at it, and the other one started yelling "You can't look at the bird poop! It's on my side of the car so it's MY bird poop!" and then a big fight broke out.

Meltdowns are inseparable from having kids. Our little daredevils are notorious tantrum throwers, and it’s just a question of severity and frequency with which they occur. There are countless parenting methods created to take back control of a child in meltdown, and ways to make sure it doesn’t happen.

Tantrums and meltdowns can be generated by a lot of different things: fear, frustration, anger, and sensory overload, to name a few. Moreover, a tantrum isn’t a very clear way to communicate, but they’re very powerful in getting not just parents' but every onlooker’s attention.

At about age 2, he was trying to get out of his bed, put his hand on the wall, then put his other hand over it, and tried to remove his first hand. The weight/push force of his second hand kept his first hand pinned to the wall. He started screaming in terror, pushing back with all his might... on top of his first hand. I had to grab his second hand, then yank his first hand free.

He was inconsolable for a while.

Kids are weird

38points

This article on the Childmind Institute argues that we should think of a tantrum as a reaction to a situation a child can’t handle in a more grown-up way. “By talking about how he feels, or making a case for what he wants, or just doing what he’s been asked to do. Instead, he is overwhelmed by emotion.”

“If unleashing his feelings in a dramatic way — crying, yelling, kicking the floor, punching the wall, or hitting a parent — serves to get him what he wants (or out of whatever he was trying to avoid), it’s a behavior that he may come to rely on.”

Challenges like meltdowns are a quintessential part of being a parent. Many people know that and are still willing to make a sacrifice for the better good and having a fulfilling life with kids. Others, however, choose a very different path, which is staying childfree.

This is, of course, not to say that people choose not to have kids because it’s difficult raising them, rather they make a decision for a complex of reasons. They may range from rising living costs, rising housing prices, widespread concerns about social media and climate change, people’s own childhood experiences, and simply not wanting children.

Valid reason

39points

Despite the fact that the childfree lifestyle is gaining popularity every day, it’s still viewed with a huge stigma in our society. To find out what are the reasons for so many people condemning those who opt for life without kids, Bored Panda spoke with Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist and author of multiple books, including "Be A Great Manager Now", "The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness," and "The Leader's Guide to Resilience.” It turns out this has a lot to do with human nature and our tendency to be judgemental toward others.

“When we live in a society with others (and this is evident in the animal kingdom), we tend to understand our ‘place’ in the pack through acknowledging ourselves in comparison to others – with the goal being access to resources,” Tang argues.

Alternative_Plate398 Report

According to Tang, “in humans, we are fighting less over a perceived scarcity of food and water, but (especially in the social media world) a need for acknowledgment and validation. Further to which, building self-esteem has focused on appreciating the self… but often in comparison to others (e.g. I didn’t win… but at least I didn’t come last).” She explained that we are brought up judging others to know our position.

Moreover, Tang claims that in evolutionary terms, this is perhaps sensible. “By making it clear there is someone else (a 'weaker prey' perhaps) to focus on, we can remain ‘safe.’”

Tang told Bored Panda that it becomes all too easy to, rather than show acceptance of difference or even learn from that other person, try to negate that of the other – it is the act of “normative idealization.” She continued explaining that normative idealization is when you think like “what I do is normal, what you do is odd (it makes our own ego feel better); or to return to my first point of looking outwards - we might alternatively just be picking on others to avoid thinking about our own problems – and something which makes them 'different' is an easy target… and sometimes it means by bringing someone down (rather than working to raise ourselves up), we feel better about ourselves – and don’t need to admit we need to do something about our own insecurities.”

Having said that, Tang claims that we have evolved since that point, although perhaps our brains haven't quite, and we need to teach it healthy behaviors.

“Judging others in the context of ‘who is living life best’ is not helpful, it is far more healthy to focus your energies on living your own best life, and if others are inspired, perhaps you can tell them how you did it and what your choices were... if they don't - you just do you." She added that “in the words of Ru Paul - if they aren't paying your bills, you pay them no mind!”

For several years, my son would flip out if we forced him to wear pants instead of shorts. Doesn’t matter if it was 15 degrees outside.

My son would too, he'll now be 18 in 4 days... guess who NEVER wears pants now? Cold, hot doesn't matter, shorts. I learned that honestly if they're cold they'll wear it. I gave up years ago and he was fine.... is fine.

Because the dog in Airbud climbed out the window to get the newspaper. The dog isn't allowed to do that, he should stay in the house. We didn't even get to the sad part of the movie because of major meltdowns over minor things like that.

Kiddo didn’t win the “pee race” with my husband, so he had a meltdown for an hour.

When I was a child, I think that the time I didn't want to go to New Hampshire because I didn't know what language they spoke is up there in ridiculousness.

I wouldn't tell them why I was melting down because I was afraid I was wrong to be scared, so in the moment it was a mystery to my parents and later that day they realized I had a fever and blamed it on that. And they were probably right to do so.

I’m a single mom and my son once had a complete breakdown when he found out that my youngest sister was getting married. This lasted a while, while he interrogated me on who nanna was married to and who my other sister was married to. He could just not grasp the fact that women get married and was heart sore because all the women in his life were married. My heart broke for him whilst at the same time I could not stop laughing at the situation.

A few years ago my wife asked her daughter to write the number 5. She was 5 years old at the time. She lost her damn mind.

She's now almost 8, the other night at family game night she lost her s**t because she got a question wrong in trivial pursuit family edition (it has separate cards for adults and kids).

Isn't age 8 old enough to NOT "lose your s**t" over getting a Trivial Pursuit answer wrong? I don't have children so I can only speak of my memories of being around that age/my family members' children around that age, but definitely the time of "meltdowns" have passed by then, at least in my family. Being angry/pissed at yourself that you got the answer wrong? Sure XD But "losing your s**t"?

My 3 year old Son will often construct logical dilemmas and end up having a meltdown.

Example; He tore something open, then decides he wants me to do it. He's already opened it by tearing it open. 🤔 "Dada you do it"
"I can't do it Baba, it's already open."
Lips start to wobble and eyes look sad.
"No, Dada you do it, please"
"Baba, I can't open something that is already open"
And so the crying starts, then grows, then continues, then he has a meltdown.

I've approached it from every angle I can think of. He doesn't just do it with me either. Sometimes it's possible to offer a hug and he'll stop, but at least 70% of the time he will go fully fledged hulk style and end up being put on his bed until he stops. Taking toys away hasn't helped. Being nice doesn't work. Bribing him with chocolate would work but it's not good to reward the behavior. I've tried pretending to wrap it up and reopen it - doesn't work. I'm quite logical myself, so I've even tried explaining the logic to him. "Something cannot both be and not be at the same time, Son (except Shrodinger's Cat)". I think his problem is his intelligence far out classes his ability to communicate. And he communicates well with a large vocabulary. He just has an idea in his head and can't construct the sentence to express it.

I'd say his record is about an hour or so of straight up Olympic fit throwing over a logical dilemma that he himself created. 🤷‍♂️

Me and 5yo on the way to the bowling alley, mom 2 cars behind us. We pull in and park “why didn’t we beat mommy here, how did she beat us” meanwhile mom is parking beside us while we’re already parked. She then proceeds to start crying and screaming because we didn’t get to the parking lot first even though we were parked and out of the car when her mom pulled up.

When i about 7 i remember having a craving for bushes baked beans. I asked my parents what kinda bean they were, and they said “probably pinto beans.”

Then i spent the next couple of days begging my parents for pinto beans for dinner, and they obliged.
My dad serving me up a nice plate of straight up pinto beans and rice, knew exactly what my reaction was going to be, and that that was going to be dinner.

Me: childless, single, no desire for children, not much experience with them, either. #1 Was watching my niece at my house, which was not the usual, but her parents were having an overnight date night and she was going to stay with me. I had a large German Shepherd mix. We were having a nice night, playing, eating, etc., when out of nowhere, she asks me: "doggy eat me?" At no time up to this point were there any dog "issues". She petted him, played with him. etc. Then, this question. I reassured her that the dog only eats dog food, and never children. She seemed very distressed, so I put the dog in my room, hoping to ease her mind. Kept asking me if the dog would eat her to the point where she was so upset she threw up. Now, this is totally not my thing! I have a hard time cleaning such up from my pets, let alone a small child. So while I'm fighting not to gag/join her in the throwup fest, she starts having a meltdown because she threw up. Crying, apologizing, throwing up more. OMG!
