Throwing a tantrum at 60: you vote for a fascist and crash the economy.
While making sure housing is unaffordable for everyone else cause you need your house to go up in value.
don't forget you vote against every tax increase because fuck 'dem kids. you need to take out a reverse mortgage for your winnebago
and then cutting younger people's real time pay then calling them lazy for not accepting 168 weeks.
What the fuck is your door made of? If an angry kick breaks it, I promise it ain't $300
It ain't, but the handyman you pay to install it is.
Interior doors are piss easy to take down/put up unless you fucked up the frame. Why would you pay someone to do that?
Cus you're busy dealing with whatever caused the tantrum?
Uhhh
Note that IS with installation, but still. Doors ain’t super cheap.
Having dealt with HomeDepot contractors before, the true cost of replacing the door is:
Door + installation + re-installation by some who knows what the fuck they’re doing + materials
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.
feeling good about my parenting skills, my kid's tantrums are getting shorter and shorter. she screams, cries, kicks her legs, all on the floor. She only gets anything once she starts to be calm.
She gets things after a tantrum once she is calm again or not at all then?
Let's say she wants to play with crayons when it's time to eat. If she starts throwing a tantrum, I lie her down on the ground and don't pay attention to her, except to say "we will hug and go get your fruit when you are calm". When the tantrum is finished, I ask her "are you calm?" and if she says yes, we hug, I clean her up, and give her the fruit.
Until she calms down, I don't pay attention to her, except to re-iterate that she will have more stiumulus once she is calm.
Lol, people can't afford to have kids by 30. What universe is this post from?
Lol, people can’t afford to have kids by 30.
I can guarantee you
- People have kids whether they can afford them or not
- Different levels of social integration lead to different support structures for child-rearing which leads to different life stages when people can/do have kids at different financial points.
Some still do tho.
Yeah. The kid-making process is actually pretty cool.
Only like two thousand people can afford anything now. The rest of us can't afford shit, but we do em anyway
The other 3/4 of world population probably.
When I was 16 the phone was wired to the wall.
they were damn near indestructible. slam hard, np
Yeah if I threw my Nokia 3210 I think I'd take out a support beam.
Those fucking cord tangles GOD DAMN IT!!!
Hi, my names Kyle, I'm 6 white Monster drinks deep, and I'm ready for a crashout if I lose this next CoD match and derank.
I mean, this is why social media is full of videos of dudes sitting in their trucks complaining about how everyone's crazy now.
Throwing a tantrum as a parent: Just tell your kid you're strict, then scream at them for every little thing.
Ah yes, perfect post for the "funny" community.
I'm getting 2meirl4meirl vibes
Living a life of quiet desperation.
As illustrated here:

My favorite pic of Ben Afleck. You can feel the air in this picture.
I wonder if he hates that this is the picture of him people feel most expression from, instead of one of the films he busted his ass to make
Hes just a private person. He doesnt like fame and he feels awkward dealing with strangers. He has talked about it a bit on podcasts recently when his second Accountant movie came out.
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
at 30 the kids just broke the door and phone
Axe + wood reserves
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.
I'm 16. My tantrums consist of crying in my room.
Yeah but at 50 you can go back to screaming and taking a shit on your neighbors driveway.
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.
Lol lmao, you think I have kids?
