16 things that are better than a tantrum
Nothing is worse then having to deal with a screaming strong willed 2 1/2 year old…
or is there?
“16 things that are better then a tantrum.”
Also doing business as
“16 things you’d rather do then have to sit and listen to a tantrum.”
1. A root canal
2. Kidney stones
3. Having your car repossed
4. Being evicted
5. Food poisoning
6. Losing $500
7. Having to spend the weekend with your in-laws (but not mine because mine are delightful)
8. A rash
9 . Having to clean up horse manure
10. @ksluiter said “having my eyebrows waxed one hair at a time”
11. I’ll second her and say a bikini wax one hair at a time.
12. @notsuperjustmom “my yearly pap smear” or
13. “being checked for hemmies”
14. Having to watch any Charlie Sheen interview on full blast for 10 hours straight.
15. Having lunch with Snooki
16. Labor
What would you consider better then a tantrum?

I struggled with tantrums a lot with my first child. It upset me greatly and made me think I was a bad mom.
Now my 21 month old is in full tantrum bloom and my 3.5yo is rediscovering the art of the tantrum as well. It’s one of the easier things I have to deal with as a parent because I just ignore, ignore, ignore.
Sometimes I am afraid my ear drums will be blown out though.

I was at a concert recital for my stepdaughter last night and someone’s baby was fussy and crying. I felt so bad for the couple. Mom handed the baby to Dad, who tried to do something…but he ended up having to take the baby out. I always wonder how parents know when it’s safe to bring the baby back in. What if you’re in the hallway and he/she is okay and quiet finally, but then you come back in and he/she starts crying again?

I had a daily-tantrumer for 3 yrs. My root canal was a far better experience because the dentist took the pain AWAY and made things all better.
