Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML
Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML
Today, I told my son he couldn't have a toy. He threw a fit, looked me in the eye, and screamed, "Daddy's right! You are a bitch!" The whole store was watching. FML
Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter threw a tantrum in the middle of a store, all because I wouldn't buy her a pushup bra. FML
Today, I took my 6 year-old to work. A normally docile child, she chased me around with her toy - beating me with it while all my colleagues watched - not stopping despite me requesting her to. When she finally lost said toy, she threw a huge tantrum. Guess who's banned from my office. FML
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML
Today, I smacked my kid on top of the head for spinning the display rack while I was looking at greeting cards. It wasn't until he dramatically screamed and dropped to the floor wailing that I realized he wasn't my daughter. FML
Today, my 6-year-old son was so angry at me for not buying him overpriced candy at the airport that he told a security guard I had a machine gun in my suitcase. The interrogation was not pleasant. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my husband and our 6-year-old son. My husband kept stealing popcorn from the guy next to him, to the point where the guy punched him in the face. The movie was stopped, the police were called, and my son is now inconsolable. FML

Everyone is talking about studies showing not to spank your kids...give me a break. It took me 2 times to get a spanking from my dad growing up before I knew what lines to cross and what ones to not. Bottom line is there are to many babies having babies and they dont even know where to start with parenting. Stop putting your children imfront of the TV and video games...they are not babysitterd. And start spending more time with your kids and more time parenting. And also set boundaries. Then a spanking may not be necessary.

If my 4 year old ever acted like that I would smack her ass that her future children would be feeling it. Discipline is the key. Looks like your son could use more of it. Maybe you should send him to me I'd straighten him out and then send you back a well behaved child. He needs to learn that he is not the center of the universe and he can't have everything he wants or do whatever he feels like. As for his game consoles threaten to put them on eBay if he keeps up his bad behavior.

Did the child die? Because if he were mine, he most certainly would have.

I sincerely hope you whipped that boys butt when you got home. It sucks that you got punched in the face, but at least you seem to live in a good area with decent people who take action when they think they need to. A T.V. show here in the States did an experiment where they had a guy dragging a girl down the street screaming 'help me I don't know this person' and people would literally look at them, and then keep walking. After a few hours of waiting and then repeating the scenario two guys finally dropped their shopping bags and tried to help.

Kids test their limits all the time. It isn't the parents fault if their child has a colossal tantrum in public. As long as its the last time the kid acted like that. Had I acted like that in a store as a kid, I wouldn't be able to sit down comfortably for a week and I'd not dare pull that shit tantrum again.

Sell his game console. Now he doesn't need a video game for it. Problem solved.
