    That’s the best you can do. Upset is normal. Throwing things is normal.

    Kicking, punching and violence to the point where you have to make excuses that you’re not kidnapping isn’t.

      I think that really depends on the kid too. I’ve had one behave like that fairly regularly until he grew out of it; the other will get upset rarely, and never in public.

      The post read to me as the dad cracking a dry joke, not actually making an excuse.
