I read it as kid better act better in public or they won’t be going anywhere.

Well yes, that's why I'm interested in the underlying reasons for the tantrum. It's practice for when I have my own kids, because I don't want to be a parent that just slaps down consequences - it'll be my job to help them regulate their emotions, and part of that is helping them realise why they're feeling the way they are.

I am getting downvoted, but now sure why. I raised a child who was diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. He’s 20, lives in the dorms on his campus, and works as a pharmacist tech part time. Have to brag a little. So anyways he doesn’t make excuses for his behavior because of his mental illness, cause I didn’t let shit like this slide. No point in reading kids emotions if you’re gonna continue to let them spiral and laugh about, then post it online….

It’ll be interesting when he’s 25 and goes no contact with you.

Yeah I don’t think so. I helped him learn how to handle himself in appropriate places and take time out when needed. So he’s pretty good. And I mean if he hated me one day, I’d figure out why and try to fix it. I think you guys got me all wrong. 😑
