ADULT TEMPER TANTRUMS

Temper tantrums are temper tantrums regardless of age. When you were younger, you held your breath and kicked your feet and flayed your arms. Adults do the same thing, only they think of more sophisticated ways now.

There was an incident in our family about 4 years ago. To this day, I really don't know for sure what happened. I have been given one answer, but in view of the incidents before and after that answer, it makes no sense. This particular adult no longer holds her breath and kicks and thrashes around, but rather tries to throw a temper tantrum more "maturely" now. Instead of holding her breath, she now withholds her presence, her children and her love. Same difference.............an act to get attention and to say to the other person, "You upset me and I am going to let you know that you do."

The way I see things is like this.....if you have a beef with me, tell me, so I can either defend myself or apologize. If you are asked repreatedly what the problem is and you reply, "Nothing", then let the problem go and get over yourself. Do not "hold your breath" for 4 years. My God!

In the realm of time, tolerating a grown child's temper tantrum is not worth it.........it is a waste of time and energy. It is much too late to spank her give her time-out now. After 4 years and now being 40 years old, that child needs to grow up!!!

Now that I have gotten that off my chest, I am going to enjoy the rest of my day and I hope you enjoy yours.
