We are THAT family

So our daughter has started throwing tantrums about a month ago. And I mean, throw-herself-to-the-ground-and-scream-her-head-off tantrums.

So today, when we were in Target, she was unhappy for some reason or other. And there she lay, in the middle of the aisle, demonstrating the above described behavior.

Nice.

Can I have a refund? Exchange? Where did my sweet-natured baby go? I wish I can shield her from learning all this awful behavior from other kids, cause you can bet your last dollar that she learned it from a kid. But since that's not possible, the question becomes, how do I correct it?

There was this funny ad on TV here... that the mum copied the exact behaviour of the kid and threw a tantrum on the floor as well.

The kid stopped.

Not sure how to help you babes... I believe in smacks.. but I don't think that works either... *sigh*

hah--- there are times where i WANT to just throw a tantrum myself! it probably would do for a great sideshow for the other shoppers in the store.

And no, i don't want to spank --- although, i DO want to smack the kid she learned it from...i know EXACTLY who it was. grrrrrrr
