If there’s one thing that bonds the parents of toddlers together, it’s our experience handling meltdowns that make zero sense, and always occur when we have the least amount of time to devote to the crazy.
These 11 parents do their best to laugh at the whole sh%tshow, though, and I’ve gotta say, I think they’re onto something.
11. What kind of monster buys the kind without meatballs?
I mean. It’s hard to blame the kid here.
Tonight’s child tantrum brought to you by SpaghettiOs that didn’t have meatballs in them.

10. Getting a little closer every day.
Bless his heart.
I'm all for letting my kids be who they want to be.
And my 3 year-old just had a tantrum about the cheese on his pizza being "too melted," so apparently his dream is to be my least favorite child.

9. This is a whole mood.
Life’s hard, kid.
My four year old is having a tantrum because his dinner isn't freshly baked cookies.

8. The man is an expert.
Years of observation and experience.
Toddler: *tantrum*
Husband: *gives her chocolate*
Me: How did you know?
Husband:
[later]
Me: What the fuck I am so done with today I feel like shit I hate the kids…
Husband: *gives me chocolate*
Me: Oh

7. Sophie’s Choice.
There’s no right answer. It all depends on the day.
Kid: Would you like to buy me this candy bar or watch me have a Stage 5 meltdown in front of a bunch of strangers who are quietly judging your parenting?

6. God don’t like ugly.
Man, my kids are going to hate that phrase as much as I did.
As a parent there's no sweeter karma than when your kid is acting like an asshole & accidentally hurts them self during a temper tantrum.

5. He’s set a new record.
I bet his wife gave him a high-five.
I made my 5 year old upset enough to throw a tantrum after only being up for 30 minutes.
See? There’s still plenty of stuff to do during quarantine.

4. Just take her mirrors away.
You’re not going to stop her sticking her tongue out.
In case you were on the fence about having kids, my 3-year-old threw a temper tantrum because her tongue is pink.

3. Could have gone with her gut.
But you know. It would have gone bad either way.
If your 2yo asks for the red cup but you’re sure she wants pink and you check with her 10 times and she says definitely red so you give her red and then she has a meltdown because she wants pink how much wine can you drink before midday?

2. No explanations necessary.
Let that be a lesson for everyone else, as well.
Is there anything more perfect than my kid having a total meltdown while we're in line to get my birth control?

1. At least he’s honest.
And curious, too!
Son: dad what does tantrum mean?
Me: tantrum is when you feel so upset that you scream, cry, and act completely uncontrollable.
Son: I like tantrums!
Me: *losing hair in patches* I know you do.

Laughter is, I think, one of the best tools in a parent’s emergency box. And if you don’t have laughter, well, raising a kid is going to be A LOT of tedious work that’s no fun. And nobody likes NOT having fun.
Tell us in the comments the funniest place your child has pitched a fit!
Do it now!
