You're welcome. I consider myself an good parent and I've have times and days where I feel completely frazzled. I think every parent has experienced temper tantrums and it depends on the situation how to handle it. If you're in the mall the best thing to do is remove your child and say "we're going home". Before an outing have a talk with all 3, what you expect from them and don't leave without snacks - God forbid lol. Sometimes it's better just to ignore the childs tantrum and later when he's calm, have a talk about better behavior. I've found there's no reasoning with a child who's in a meltdown.

I'll never forget the day my oldest had a tantrum at the grocery store - I stupidly let her go to the bulk section to put some candy canes in a bag. She filled the whole bag. When I told her this was too many and we had to put some back - she started screaming and jumping. I wish I would have known to simply walk out immediately. I continued my shopping while she cried for 15 min. We laugh about it now. No doubt having 3 boys they'll test your patience but stick to your guns, have firm rules and be consistent.
