I don't believe there is anything normal about this unfortunate 5 year-old.
He is saddled with a mother who probably has no idea where the father is, but he does appear to bear the father's surname.
This is a case where you had to be there to see the ferocious eruption on the part of a seriously disturbed little demon.
Maybe you’re right... since who has ever heard of a 5 year old throwing a tantrum, kicking someone in the shins, throwing something? Nahhh....
“He is saddled with a mother who probably has no idea where the father is, but he does appear to bear the father’s surname.’
Nice assumption your making, essentially calling this woman a slut although you have no knowledge of her or the circumstances. It takes two to make a baby, and the man who sleeps with a woman without consideration for the possible results is just as bad as she is. For all you know the father was killed in Iraq defending his country.
And while we’re throwing bad parenting stones at the current generation lets not forget their parents. The baby boomers who have given us a huge mess everywhere we look.
