In the role of motherhood, I have found to be very blessed in how things have gone with my daughter. From her lack of wanting a paciffier to easy transition to cups from bottles and now in the new challenge of "She is potty trained! WAIT! No she isn't." dance we're doing right now.
I have been witness and been told of childrens tantrums and such and I am at a loss. Because not only has my child never done that but my brothers didn't, and I didn't, and none of the kids I babysat ever did these things.
So are tantrums more frequent in this new era of motherthood?
This is what I seem to think right now.
Websites say every parent SHOULD experience one and that each toddler should have one a week...
So if my kid doesn't do that, what does that mean? Well, to some moms, they think I am calling them bad moms or that their kid is a bad kid. To other moms, they think I am bragging. But HONESTLY this is something I don't encounter. The two times my kid has tried was QUICKLY estinguished and has happened, like TWICE, in her 3 years on this planet. So what does it mean?
I know if I even TRIED to throw a tantrum, my mom would nip it in the butt BEFORE I even thought of getting out of hand. Is it in the ethinicity? Is it in technique? Is it in my childs personality (which even she is VERY independent and willfull)?
What is it? What is it that makes me child so much more less "tantrum-y" than the "average toddler" (I say that according to the mommy blogs and websites I have searched this up on).
Feel free to express your open opinion and what you think because this honestly boggles my mind as to why "most kids" do it, yet I am not witness to any children I have cared for or watched ever doing it.
