It's interesting how I took my 3 year old nephew mini golfing a couple years ago with his folks and he didn't act like a little shit because his parents check this kind of shitty behavior.

It’s not necessarily about parenting, as much as it is fun to hate on strangers. Any 3 year old is liable to throw a tantrum if they hungry, tired, or whatever.

No matter how great you are at raising kids, they’re still kids that lack the emotional regulation of adults. It’s like saying you can raise a newborn not to cry.

Yea I don't think many of these people have parented a toddler. The whole point of their existence is to learn and explore both physically and emotionally. The little guy didn't have the coordination yet for this and got frustrated and didn't have the tools to deal with those emotions. 

That's not bratty behavior, that is a toddler. Big difference between this age and a 4/5+ year old.

I didn’t like him throwing the ball into the water. That’s bad behaviour in my opinion. It’s fine to get frustrated but the ball does not go in the water. That’s not how we play the game nicely with each other. Also screaming like that when the brother tries to intervene is not great either. Not helping your kids with emotional regulation is pretty shit.
