Oh yes. We've all been there, Olivia. Worst. Feeling. EVER. But lucky for Olivia, there were a couple of kind souls witnessing the tantrum who sympathized and offered to help her out.Couple days ago my kid was having a level 10, defcon 1, couldn’t-control-his-body meltdown at a restaurant. It happens. Poor guy was hungry as hell and overwhelmed. I was holding four bags and my 2 yr old. It was chaos.

The place was packed and we were very much on display. I was in way over my head. I stayed calm but I was kind of crumbling inside. In the midst of the madness, 2 strangers, a young man and woman, approached and asked if they could help.

In her final tweet about her tantrum adventure, the actres said:I swallowed my pride and said yes, please, and they walked with us, placed my stuff into my trunk, and even put my daughter in her car seat, while I tried to soothe my son. I thanked them and they said, “hey no problem. We all have days like this.”

So remember this the next time you see a mum struggling with a tantruming toddler, mums. This happens to all of us. And sometimes, all that is needed is a smile. And a reminder that we are in this together.I’m so moved by this simple act of kindness. Their generosity profoundly effected my (and my kids’) reality that day. I can’t wait to do this for someone else. Humans are good. We can’t forget that. ❤️
