[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the dumbest stuff. A misunderstanding,  a piece  of information she  didn't get about an upcoming  event. Yelling, accusing, snide sarcastic tone, threatening to hang up.

Also, not with parents,  but other people, like  close friends- someone might say something  that  she takes personally,  and  she will  cut them off. But not before getting into a serious yelling match  and  then nothing but the silence treatment and the follow up " I'm done.  " No conflict resolution, just door slam. Probably  5 close friends over 20 years  have been cut off. Terrible temper, poor emotional regulation. [/quote]

Are you the parent, OP? If so, this is likely your fault. [/quote]
No, but you seem pretty sure about something  ridiculous without any information. You think she was trained to throw tantrums?LOL[/quote]

Yes, in fact.  She was rewarded for it in the past and probably still is.[/quote]

If she watched a parent do it to get their way successfully she’ll do it. It’s a form of bullying.

If she threw a tantrum and got what she wanted in the past most times, she’ll continue to.

It’s definitely immature. But so is not parenting that behavior with real consequences and then enforcing them.

Unfortunately all it takes is ONE lazy lenient parent to “rewards” a ranting kid or adult, and not enforce the consequence. It could be the same adult who does the same to their spouse, parents and siblings when growing up.

Now imagine that same bully parent who lacks discipline parenting also buys said child or young adult whatever she wants, when she wants it.? More rewarding of poor behavior.  [/quote]
