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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Hell I never acted like that, I knew better. My dad would spanked my ass and made sure no video games were played again. Sounds like your son needs to be put in his place.

You are so right - I was raised the same and knew better than ti ever behave this way. I would have received a good slap in the store, a good spanking at home and lost all price ledges for a long time.

I was never beat but I still know right from wrong. If I had pulled that shit I wouldn't even see video games for like a year. Some parents need to discipline their kids otherwise the kid will end up being a douche when he grows up.

That's why you just walk away. Act like he's not your kid. Get in your car and threaten to drive away. He'll come running

I hope you're OK, but if that was my kid he would be (a) grounded for the rest of the calendar year, and (b) selling all his games and consoles!

I have a question. Does grounding kids actually work? I'm a bit curious since I was beaten as punishment.

Children learn their behaviors from adults so you have only yourself to blame!!! YDI

There are various things that teach kids how to behave, apart from the parents. TV, the internet, people in the outside world not even interacting with you... you'd be surprised at what they actually pick up.

Think about what you just said.

Give your head a shake! They learn these behaviors from video games, friends and the interweb. And the generation they are born into plays a huge role. There's days when I feel like the world is doomed with the younger upcoming generations.

I'm sure his parents are dragged out of stores screaming about being kidnapped ALL the time.

he wont need any more games once he loses his game system till he learns his lesson... when my nephew had a tantrum in a shop screaming how he wanted simething, his dad threw a similar tantrum screaming he wants a child that behaves... it actually worked...

I'll bet you anything you ended up buying the game. The so-called "bystanders" were not legit -- they're just shills for the video store. Who the **** else would pay full retail price for video games? People who get their brains scrambled by GameStop thugs, that's who!
