Why do children get away with more wrongdoing than adults?

Like seriously. Why the double standard?

Like the other day, there was a little boy.. maybe about 2.. who pulled his trousers down and started having a wee outside his house. His dad just picked him up and said "you can't do that" because obviously, the child didn't understand, what with him being a child.
An adult however, is expected to understand the difference between right and wrong, and would not be expected to piss on the pavement...
And mt rage issues, would that have been more acceptable in a child? Like cursing people out and throwing/hitting stuff?
By the time you're an adult you should have learned how to behave without having tantrums when you don't get your own way.
Your constant questions about the same issue are beginning to get tiring. YOu have got your answers, so stop asking the same Goddamn question over and over and over again.
A twenty-two-year-old having a tantrum looks like a twat.
Simple, innit.
No you didn't, You asked yet another question about behaviour which is clearly linked to the fact that you behave worse that my 4-y-o does.
Like AR said, you have your answers, can we change the record now?
Er, normal? A friends then 4 year old (he has severe learning difficulties; so doesn't understand things he should and shouldn't do) son did something to me that he shouldn't have done. Now, I said nothing - because I'm well aware of his LD and just let his dad deal with him - who just said "no, we don't do that" and just put his back on the floor.
To me, his behaviour seemed normal. Yet, if an adult did that, I would quite frankly think they're twat.
Children are still learrning
Well, if they have the type of tantrums people have in a fight w/ their spouse, well...
Fighting with your spouse isn't generally a 'tantrum' though.
Well, I mean a grown up style, like verbal spewing and throwing stuff against the wall.
If i was in a fight with a spouse and he started cursing and throwing stuff I'd leave him, simple as that. Not try and excuse his behaviour because toddlers do it as well.
Did he touch your boobs?
Doesn't make it any better.
As has already been said, a kid being a little shit can be explained away by them not knowing any better. A kid can change.
An adult who verbally abuses people and throws stuff around is universally regarded as a cunt.
That's not a tantrum either.
That's called "being a cunt".
Adults know better, simple as.. you should know better, sense why your not treated like a kid, if you Want to be treated like a kid. Shit your pants and suck your thumb. People will soon get the hint....
You need to grow up
Nothing wrong with that
Ok, only when mixed with poopy pants
I doubt it will stop you throwing tantrums but if you begin to realize that its an unacceptable way for an adult to behave then you will have made some sort of progress.
Also I agree with the other posters in that most people would not put up with that sort of behaviour from a spouse.
You can. Do it I dare you
It is?
I like disgusting humor, which is y I told my boss puke stories.
