AAAAA makes some very valid points.
(It's good to see a post from you, AAAAA - been thinking about your Peanut....hope he's doing well.)
I was visiting with my SIL early one morning when her toddler granddaughter started to throw a tantrum because she wanted breakfast - but it wasn't ready yet. She got louder when she realized no one was paying attention.
My nephew (her father) came downstairs, and she ran over to him screaming. She threw herself to the floor, crying as loud as she could. My nephew gingerly stepped over her, walked over to the coffee pot, and sat down in his seat at the table.
His daughter stopped crying, got up and walked over to him. He picked her up with a smile and said "Good morning, sweetheart." She said/gestured "I'm hungry." He said "Me too, but we're just going to have to wait.....it's almost ready." She settled down and waited right along with him.
I was impressed with how he handled the situation.
