He hit his mom and she told him that we don't hit and set him down on the floor. And as soon as she set him down, he turned around and hit his dad really really hard between the legs. My husband burst out laughing (admittedly, it was hilarious) and my friend had to give him her mean mommy face. The whole thing was pretty funny, but I have no idea what this means for us as future-parents. I have a feeling we're both going to be push overs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614502 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:23:45 +0000 Freckles 614502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH thought i was so mean because during a tantrum i whipped out the camera and started taking pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614490 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:21:38 +0000 delight 614490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: oh my that is the best idea ever!

I'm in for it. I took a bite of my bbq pizza the other night while she was on my lap, and I guess she had her mouth open (DH sits across) and she burst into tears and arched her back, when rigid, etc. Good lord. I'm in for it.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614269 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:34:09 +0000 MsLipGloss 614269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: That reminds me of the pink bunny suit from A Christmas Story! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614264 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:33:07 +0000 Dandelion 614264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yes...sometimes the things that fly out of a 5 year old's mouth is pretty crazy when they're mad.</p> <p>When he was a toddler, I would video record a lot of his tantrums, cause they were just ridiculous, and over something silly (like seeing a commercial for Chuck E. Cheese's, demanding to go, and the world ending when I say no.)</p> <p>Sometimes, laughing instead of getting angry back is the best way for them to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614251 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:29:43 +0000 banana 614251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: OMG this is my fave pic of the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614247 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:28:13 +0000 Honeybee 614247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: ohhhhhhh, so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-614121 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:39:37 +0000 anbanan15 614121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: ahhhh so cute!

LO is the king of drama and most of his tantrums are so redicilous. Example. About 20 min ago I tried to read him a book. You would have thought the world was ending over here! He just wanted to "read" himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-613958 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:50:37 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 613958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes! She can be such a drama queen, and I have trouble keeping a straight face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-613935 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:44:57 +0000 Honeybee 613935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Lol, DS has been throwing tantrums for almost two months now (I guess the second kid picks it up sooner!). It's sooooooo cute. :) He lays his little head on the floor and cries, "Mamamamamama!" I have to be careful to not laugh at him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-613929 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:42:17 +0000 .twist. 613929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have a hard time because I just think they look so ridiculous! (especially at 4 or 5 or 8!) </p> <p>I have, on occasion, gotten on the floor and thrown my own whining/crying/arms flailing tantrum. They stop and stare at me and sometimes giggle. When I stop I tell them that's what they look like. Usually ends there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-613921 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:39:27 +0000 DillonLion 613921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! We aren't there yet, but I bet this will be a challenge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-keeping-a-straight-face-during-tantrums#post-613919 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:38:56 +0000 autumnlove 613919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO officially moved to the young toddler room yesterday after a few weeks of half day visits. She was sooo worn out when we got home and she was ridiculously difficult...back arching, throwing purées, drama tears, she used her little arm and swept everything off her high chair tray. It was really annoying and hilarious at the same time. </p>
