---- One of my really momentous moments as a mother. NOT.
Think drowning child, gulping water whilst trying to shriek and yell.

what was I thinking?

You were probably thinking (without really thinking due to the child's screaming) to calm him down by proceding with his normal routine.

You're right - we should try to remember never to do anything risky while a child is tantruming. Or while we are.

Did he/she calm down in the bath in the end or you had to take him/her out?

I usually say boy first because I have mostly boys LOL .

unmasking myself - embarrassed

just to clarify, baby having tantrum b/c I, now I know this is going to sound outrageous, almost bordering on child abuse I dared to ask her to pick up, gasp her melon skins from the floor b4 I gave her a new piece.

Bath made things entirely worse, mostly because she filled her lungs with water so that made breathing hard which made the whole performance really believable.

(I think I just assumed that she would hit the water and she would calm down... didnt happen, the tantrum continued, throwing herself around, I took her out immediately)
