I'm the only person in my office today. I have nothing to do. I just spend 2 hours looking at every single page in this thread.

As a parent, I find it funny. There comes a point - and this kid has clearly reached it - where absolutely everything is just going to lead to some fresh misery. Someone could have handed her a nice warm cookie and it would have ended the same way somehow. Usually it's driven by a kid that's overtired and cranky. Once you reach that point, there's nothing you can do except chuckle and get the ice pack.

I can completely see one of mine doing that.....and me laughing as I pick them up to comfort them. I would of course stop laughing as quickly as possible but I still think its funny. In that situation it would actually be helpful because you could comfort them for an actual physical pain instead of giving in to a fit.

Child pitching a fit. Child walks into a wall. I would laugh sooooooo hard, in their face. 95% of the time I can do it in such a way that the child will laugh at themselves and an important lesson is learned about pitching a fit. The other 5% of the time they are upset and embarrassed and still learn a lesson about pitching a fit. Not to mention, walking into the wall would have saved her a swat on the butt in my house. Temper tantrums are not acceptable behavior around here.
