How is it pointless? If I behaved in such a manner I would be asked to leave. Same should go for a child.
Well, lets see, are you a child or an adult? If you are 2, which I am assuming you are not by how well you can spell, I would be ok if you acted up at the theater, but if you were an adult and had a meltdown, well, I would think you were psycho
cjma, can you please use a spell check and some grammar software? You're very difficult to read.
I am sorry for my bad behavior....english is my second language...
You're making things up now, appropriate behavior is appropriate behavior.
I am sorry, but I am a doctor, my wife is a pediatrician, what are you,, but it sound that you are the one making things up.. are you atleast a psychologist??
A 2-year old throwing tantrums is not appropriate.
not appropriate??? what the hell are you talking about.. Temper Tantrums are normal behavior of a 2-3 yo... please read something Temper tantrums: How to keep the peace - MayoClinic.com Temper Tantrums-Topic Overview
A temper tantrum is an immature way of expressing anger. No matter how calm and gentle a parent you are, your child will probably throw some tantrums. Try to teach your child that temper tantrums don't work and that you don't change your mind because of them. By 3 years of age, you can begin to teach your child to verbalize his feelings.

Please you just showed how little you know about childrens..
You don't take them outside if that's the general behavior pattern.
Ok, so temper tandrum(that every child has or had by age 2, including you) should not go out????
As parents, you don't get to do everything you once did depending on the developmental stage of your offspring.
Not true,, you can always have fun with the family, especially at rest...
If your spouse is a pediatrician, I would assume that there were classes discussing this topic during training.
classes??? what classes are you talking about???
And yes she knows about the topic including me(I did 3 months of peds, is part of the core rotation) and is normal behavior, not bad behavior.. especially temper tandrums,,, that is when they want something but cant express it or get his point across...
And I'm old enough to be responsible for my own behavior.
You apparently think it's a-ok for children to raise themselves without parental direction or involvement.
You can always teach your childrens,, that doesnt mean you are going to make a 2-3 yo toddler to behave normal 24/7,,
I am sorry of your lost....
Are you then saying that being 2 and having a meltdown in a theater is appropriate behavior, especially during a night time R rated film?
This is all about appropriate behavior in social settings.
Well first of all, a 2 year old should not be in a theater at night, especially an R rated movie, BUT a 2 year old is capable of having a meltdown, in any social setting, no matter how well behaved the child is. If you were a parent, you would understand, and even most people who are not parents, still understand. I guess children in Japan never have meltdowns, only American children because they are "speshul"
