The result seems to be MORE nasty comments from passers by. So many people seem to think they can solve tantrums in two seconds by saying some magic thing, and then when it doesn't work, they start informing me of the fact that DS will have to go to school soon, or that he shouldn't flail, he'll hit someone, or that it doesn't matter which transfer I gave his dad. Welllllll, yes, folks, I kinda got that m'self, ya know... Deep breaths, kids are an excercise in humility, remember, self? Ug DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!

I just Facebook AND tweeted that. Now, if Wyldkat shares a social network with the mother in question, posting this link might be a good way to handle the original situation :-) Email: my username, followed by 2, at google's mail
