Hard to tell from so little info. You can make a kid act like that by being a shitty parent, but they can also have issues unbidden that stretch you past your breaking point.

In any case, they don’t seem to have a healthy relationship.

10:1 odds that neither of you currently have a toddler.

    Yeah, one is a teen now and the other is almost there. We have solid relationships and I’ve managed not to call them assholes when they’re acting up. Is there a point you’re trying to make?

My kid just had a screaming fit with big fat tears rolling down his face because he reached the bottom of the stairs. The other day, he was howling crying because I had a different colored bowl than he did. I have indeed had to carry my kid out of a public space to go calm down. I do my best to be calm and empathetic to him but emotional regulation is something they grow into.

  That’s the best you can do. Upset is normal. Throwing things is normal.
  
  Kicking, punching and violence to the point where you have to make excuses that you’re not kidnapping isn’t.

    I think that really depends on the kid too. I’ve had one behave like that fairly regularly until he grew out of it; the other will get upset rarely, and never in public.
    
    The post read to me as the dad cracking a dry joke, not actually making an excuse.

    That’s fair. I’d still get smacked upside my head by my wife, but to each their own :)
