I’m so feeling this this morning. I asked the 4yo if he wanted cereal or yogurt for breakfast. He screams “I’m not hungry! I want mama!”, runs to his room and slams the door. Two minutes later he comes out and punches me in the dick while I’m making lunches.

Hard to tell from so little info. You can make a kid act like that by being a shitty parent, but they can also have issues unbidden that stretch you past your breaking point.
In any case, they don't seem to have a healthy relationship.

I've been reading some variation of this joke since the early 80s.
I am confident it can be found somewhere in Shakespeare's plays and perhaps on clay tablets hidden deep in the Mesopotamian valley.

My kid just had a screaming fit with big fat tears rolling down his face because he reached the bottom of the stairs. The other day, he was howling crying because I had a different colored bowl than he did. I have indeed had to carry my kid out of a public space to go calm down. I do my best to be calm and empathetic to him but emotional regulation is something they grow into.

It's funny because children aren't people. Or something...
It's just funny to use the word that means a different thing but close

That's the best you can do. Upset is normal. Throwing things is normal.
Kicking, punching and violence to the point where you have to make excuses that you're not kidnapping isn't.

Kinda reminds me of when I was using dating apps, and women would ask how they knew I wasn't a serial killer. "If I was a serial killer, it would be pretty stupid to leave a bunch of digital records of me being the last person my victim talked to, I'd get caught immediately."

You know, this weirdly makes the whole shit world-state seem much more natural lol

I'm not shoplifting this child.

Or alternatively,
I'm not kidnapping this money/these goods/etc

Found the childless one who knows better. Always at least one of you.

Nah, that's a fools bet lol.

I think that really depends on the kid too. I've had one behave like that fairly regularly until he grew out of it; the other will get upset rarely, and never in public.
The post read to me as the dad cracking a dry joke, not actually making an excuse.

I love hearing other parents have asshole kids, because it reminds me that I'm not alone.

... but if you were to call the cops on me at least it would be a brief yet welcome reprieve from parenting while they come to the inevitable conclusion that he is mine and they don't want him around either

Yeah kids. Cannot throw them away, cannot kill'em. Or so says the "law" apparently.

That's fair. I'd still get smacked upside my head by my wife, but to each their own

Sounds like you're an AI.
