Stranger danger

By john doe - 07/12/2013 17:29 - United States - Portland

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

I hope you busted her ass when you got home!

If I would of done that, I would of gotten the belt to the behind.

Both of my kids pulled tantrum stunts, smacking in public can pretty much get you arrested these days, oh and then there's the "bad parent, should discipline their kids" comments. Either way can't win. My daughter only did it once, she threw a huge tantrum through several shops and then on the way home actually put her baby brother's life in danger so she copped a smack. I told her that if she ever did anything like that again she would never come shopping with me again - the next few times I went I left her at home with my husband. She was only 3 and the message stuck. My son was tantrum thrower, nothing I said would stop him. The last time I picked him up, carried him screaming to the car and was questioned by a man about him. The answers I gave satisfied him, I know it showed I was a frustrated mother. Again I told him if he kept it up I would not take him shopping again, it meant I could only shop when my husband was home but leaving him home a few times worked as well. My niece decided when I was out shopping with her and my sister that she would throw a tantrum after I wouldn't let her run around a store with lots of fragile items. She was about 3 and walked out of the store I went to get her, she looked me in the eye and said "well I'll just throw a tantrum", looked behind her to see what sort of surface she was on - it was concrete so she laid herself gently down. I was stifling laughter as I picked her up by the front of her clothes and said "Not with me you don't". The look of shock on her face was a classic.

My niece did that when she was 7. I know it was mean but she never pulled that shit again. I told her ok you can go to cps and you'll never see me or your mom or dad again, she burst into tears and hugged me. Now I know that it was really mean but I have a really good relationship with my niece because if it

That wasn't mean at all you taught her that saying something like that has consequences

I beat my overly deserving daughter for the same thing today. Not really - but we had a strong taking to.

That doesn't always work at least it didn't work on me. I threatened to call the cops on my mom and she said go ahead. So I did, she never called my bluff again because it's never a bluff lol. Btw I was 4 when this went down and to my best recollection it was because she wouldn't let me have a cookie for beeakfast

This is completely outrageous! I hope you teach a lesson on this whole ordeal. There is no reason for her to be such a little brat. There would be no Christmas this year. Idc how horrible that sounds either, she needs to learn how to respect other people and know that it's not the end of the world if she doesn't get a damn doll!
