I'm still new to this, so...

SOMEONE please tell me... is it totally unreasonable to expect a 4.5-year-old to CALM the fuck DOWN when asked? For at LEAST one whole minute after said request was made?

yup. completely and utterly unreasonable. and i'm sorry to say, my friend, that at 5, the 2 year old type tantrums start up again... over stupid shit. like a different flavor of gun (which he had tried and said he DIDN'T like...but his sister got a different flavor and therefore life as he knew it was over.) 30 minutes later he calmed down. sigh. it's jackassery i'm telling you.

Yeah...my 4 1/2 year old has been acting very much like a mix between her 2 year old self and a pissy teen w/ pms lately. Crazy hissy fits. Even pulled the old, "IF YOU DON'T LET ME, I AM GOING TO DIE!!!" Fun stuff.

Yes, yes it is unreasonable. And you made me smile because your wording was absolutely perfect. It's like you plucked it from my brain.
