That skit was hilarious! Thanks for posting.

You're making too big of a deal out of it. Kids aren't that emotionally fragile. I'm sure the parents (in OP's clip), didn't ignore the kid that way all the time. If they did, I agree it would be pretty pathetic and neglectful. But you also have to show kids they don't always get what they want by throwing tantrums.

The Eunice clip reminds me of when I was a little kid and we had a dog that was viscious to non-family members. One day it bit a visiting relative. My parents told me they were taking the dog to a "farm" where it would be happier. It wasn't until years later that it dawned on me that there was no "farm"! They lied to me and put the dog down. I was upset about being lied to, but I got over it.
