That whole, looooong series of stories has got me shaking with rage!! Firstly, DO NOT talk about your son's tantrums in front of him, and to a bunch of total strangers! Second, the whole scenario could have been minimised if Sezzzie took some parental control of the situation instead of trying to reason with him, do breathing techniques (ffs!) or distract him with treats (yeah sure, let's reward him for his bad behaviour) He is TWO YEARS OLD and putting himself in danger....YOU are supposed to be the adult....pick him up, take a good strong hold of him (you know, use all those muscles you've been growing at the gym! He'll, count it as one of your precious workouts even!) and walk him straight home! He can kick and scream all he wants, it doesn't matter! Ignore and keep on walking, don't stand on the spot flapping your bloody arms and uttering "whoa is me"! This child is getting away with so much, they are creating a monster. Then at the park "I have a doctors appointment in 20 minutes and I'll have to walk home...but I'm stuck at the park. Focks, do you want to walk home and hop in the car and go to the drs?" WTF!! WHY THE HELL IS SHE ASKING HIM?? Of course he's going to say no! And of course he knows what's best for himself!
And then, she takes him back to the beach, the scene of the crime, to try and get Kurtzy's attention AGAIN! She could have been home, in the car and off to the drs at this point, but noooo, let's pile more guilt on Kurtz, bad-mouth him some more to his son, and generally whinge about being a mother!
And lastly, GET OFF YOUR PHONE!! Even saying that your go-to solution for solving tantrums is face-timing Grammy is sickening - be a bloody mother, woman! Put your phone away and connect with your son! Stop relating with him through a bloody screen! God help us if she does have any more children! (BTW, I'm a mother of 5, so I've dealt with my fair share of tantrums and raising kids)
P.S she completely missed the point her sissies were trying to make about giving him options. They were talking about once he had calmed down and was on the swing at the park, NOT when he was in full meltdown mode. The woman is a moron.
