The TV bounced off the first window, so there was no chance of a phone getting through it.

Good that you're calming down, but the other guy was spot on. You're throwing a tantrum in front of your kid and you wonder why your kid thinks it's ok to throw a tantrum when they don't get their way?

NO. NO. NO. You've got that completely wrong.

The (my) child was throwing a tantrum in front of me, and after repeated requests to calm down and 'please go to bed' I showed him what a REAL tantrum is.

TV out of the window - I keep asking anyone got a cheap TV for sale?

Op, getting a bit of a hard time here. Our kids are experts a knowing how to push your buttons. I'm usually extremely calm and if I have the sense that I'm going to exhibit flashes of anger, I always manage to rationalise it internally and calm myself down. But it's damn difficult sometimes to find the energy to control the kids' tantrums.

Not looking to provoke, but did you *really* throw the TV out and smash the tablet, or just get close to it?

We had to put in a concerted effort to get on top of screen time and we've cut it right down to a few hours at the weekend. Really, really hard to do though.

I have a TV, lutterworth area.

Wall mount included you you can't hoof it out of the window.

Serious question, why do you think he's grown up to believe that it's acceptable to throw a tantrum to get his way?

So, last year you threw his table out of the window, and this year your threw a television out of th window? You come across like an ignorant, abusive tt. One day you'll probably wonder why your son left home as soon he could, never sends you a Father's Day card and doesn't invite you to his wedding. Either that or he'll simply turn into the same emotionally crippled man that you are.

Yeah.... How council is that?

Personally I've not thrown a TV out the window. I have thrown an old Nokia phone out a 2nd window to see if it would break, it didn't.

What happened to the 1st window ?....

It smashed with the power of the Nokia.

Or I may have slightly forgotten to put the word floor in there.

I think I know where OP is coming from. I once threw a packet of prawn crackers out the car window as I was so irate about an unnecessary width restriction on the road.

I blame his mother.

I knew there was a flaw there somewhere....

Throwing a TV out of the window sounds a bit council.

Now, council houses are known for having rather large TV's, the houses tend to be smallish with presumably smallish windows.

I'm calling BS on this, the tablet possibly though.

No outrage, just pity.

Clearly the brat is throwing his toys out of the pram (or TV out of the window) just like daddy does.

And so the circle is complete. It's already too late.

You 'requsted'?

Well, you could have turned the internet off, removed the plug etc. All you have done is shown that you've got a bigger child in you. Now the poor little sod will be scared of you, as well as angry. Bit late now but try spending more time away from the video games with him/her and make daddy a friend rather than someone they fear and won't talk to. Speak at their height, lower your voice and tell them. Reasoning is for adults, children function from learned behaviour, including rage.

Not quite sure I'm with you on your course of action.


However. As kids we found an big old TV that had been thrown out and we smashed it up - it made an awesome explosion
