My kid just had a screaming fit with big fat tears rolling down his face because he reached the bottom of the stairs. The other day, he was howling crying because I had a different colored bowl than he did. I have indeed had to carry my kid out of a public space to go calm down. I do my best to be calm and empathetic to him but emotional regulation is something they grow into.

That’s the best you can do. Upset is normal. Throwing things is normal.

Kicking, punching and violence to the point where you have to make excuses that you’re not kidnapping isn’t.

  I think that really depends on the kid too. I’ve had one behave like that fairly regularly until he grew out of it; the other will get upset rarely, and never in public.
  
  The post read to me as the dad cracking a dry joke, not actually making an excuse.

    That’s fair. I’d still get smacked upside my head by my wife, but to each their own :)

    That doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship.
