Who throws the most temper tantrums?

Do you think that boys or girls throw the most temper tantrums?

Seems to me that for many adults the whole of life is one huge tantrum!

I thought my answer needed musical accompaniment

I suspect that this song might have been lyrically more in tune with my reply

:;;D:

I would say that males (whether children or adults) are more likely to act out in what's considered tantrums.

Oh come on! All those tears and screams and stuff when one's lady friend can't get the right <insert something here, usually a fashion item> ... surely these are tantrums in the classic sense

Females pout...males are the ones rolling around on the ground and/or destroying everything around them when they don't get their way.

No way, I've watched entire dressing tables be overturned when a lady's eyelash extenders didn't look quite right

I voted for adults. My kids don't throw a tantrum, but look at mom when a silly crush isn't interested.

I don't have much experience with children - except when I taught piano for a while, but I didn't do that for long or have that many students. That being said - the only 2 that threw a tantrum were the young lads.

I suspect the answers are going to be totally subjective based on personal experience rather than any kind of research.

If my present employment situation were any kind of measure - I'd say females - by a hair. And really only one female (I work at different times with 3). Yes, that, in light of this morning's little drama. Totally unnecessary drama, as usual. All the other employees (including the other 2 females) agree about said female on the point of unnecessary drama and rudeness.

I was a substitute teacher and even though I mostly subbed for the high school, I did cover for elementary school and middle school (ONLY ONE DAY FOR THAT YIKES!). From what I saw the boys threw the most temper tantrums. Girls just got snotty when they didn't get their way

People tend to just walk away when you throw a tantrum, which makes it completely escalate.
My son could cry loud when he was smaller, oh my and my ex would just let him. Once a neighnour called the police because he refused to give him what he wanted: carry me from the stairs, mom does that too when I wake up.
If you just immediately say: awww sweety, come here with mommy, it's over in 1 minute.
I have a female collegue. If there's too much stress and it doesn't work she curses and stuff so first I'd just go to the toilet, but now I just say: hey Marge, do you need some help?
Whoop and it's over.

Many years ago when I was watching my niece who was 2 at the time, she decided to throw a tantrum because I wouldn't let her have her way. I got down on the floor and threw a HUGE fake tantrum and she thought it was so silly we both wound up laughing together.
