    That feeling when 30 is the expected time to have kids already and you are reminded you are not allowed to ever responsibly raise children of your own in this one life you get on this dying planet.

    I hate this world

    Throwing a tantrum as a parent: Just tell your kid you’re strict, then scream at them for every little thing.

    I do not think I ever threw a tantrum that that destroyed property (I probably tried as a toddler, but I did not have the strength).

    This is why therapy is penny foolish and pound wise. Your parents should have been paying for a therapist to teach you not to throw tantrums, not simply paying to fix the house every time you smashed it up.

      Sure, yeah, if said parents weren’t among the oppressed working-class, seeking validation in every waking moment and expecting rug-pull ambushes & “accredited” charlatans around every corner.

      I mean, sheeyit. Your username alone references a fully-ratfucked concept in a candied-up exceptionalism shell that, essentially, gave the US “education” system free license to segregate & target the variably disabled youth of that era.

      The salient matter is not “if only (your) parents did (this), instead”. It’s the same crab bucket, different crabs. Lather, rinse, repeat.

      At least I wasn’t born in their era. The “exceptional” kids got a free visit to 'Nam. 😶

        First of all, I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to my user name.

        Second of all, parents living paycheck to paycheck are not buying their kids a new phone and a new door every time their child has a hard day at school and decides to blow off steam by smashing up the house.

        Working class kids should learn not to throw destructive tantrums as toddlers, when they rip the head off a toy and their parent glues it back together, crooked, instead of buying them a new one.

          TAG means “Talented And Gifted” it’s a program at school for kids who test especially well

            And “test especially well” is code for “on the spectrum” before that was a thing. We were counted as abnormal at best, and subhuman in general, but told to our gullible little faces that we were “special”, “gifted”, “talented”, young geniuses-to-be “with so much potential” …Let’s not propagate the bullshit, hmm?

              I was one of those kids too, I always suspected neurodivergence but I’m in my 30s now so I’m just ignoring it 😎

    This hurt my soul, I dated a NARC that used to love throwing my personal phone, not their own. Luckily that was during the years when phones only costing 100-200 dollars. Now these fuckers cost 1000-1500 dollars.

    This is privileged tantrum-having.

    My tantrums were never property destructive. I grew up poor and I would have been murdered for that. I rage plenty, but never outwardly toward objects.

    My tantrums, instead, were and have continued to be personally destructive. I make people hate me, I ruin all the things that matter.

      Yeah, if I’d have destroyed something in a tantrum, I just wouldn’t have had that thing anymore. It didn’t even matter if we could afford a replacement or not - I wouldn’t get anything my parents couldn’t trust me with.

    65: Kids are out of the house, you have some money to fix a broken door, but you’re just too damn tired to go breaking things or screaming about it. Also, the reason for the tantrum happened 30 years ago. So you tell your family a pointless, rambling, mind-numbingly boring story about it at Thanksgiving, instead.

      Are you my ex husband or my ex roommate? Or are you my sister? Apparently everyone in my life gets to scream but me 🥹. I only get loud when playing in Halo multiplayer. God I miss kickboxing
