I would have said the same when my kids were young.

When my sister went crazy in exactly the manner described, I learned that I was wrong. Totally wrong.

That’s potentially true, I have no experience with that.

What I was really trying to say though was that I can barely control him now. I can’t imagine I would be able to when he’s 80kgs.

The big difference is that you have to put up with the toddler's tantrum for perhaps 15 minutes. You can even choose to walk away if you need to - the toddler won't go anywhere.

A manic adult is more coherent, but goes on for days. I mean that literally - mania keeps you from sleeping.
