After everything else has failed, this dad decides to make light of his young daughter's non-stop temper tantrum
YouTuber Kathy Sterner posted hilarious footage of her husband mimicking their little daughter's howls as she rampaged around the room next door. "My 6-year-old daughter had been in her room wigging out for about an hour, and there was no talking her down," Sterner wrote in the clip's description.

A father finds humor in his little girl’s loud, relentless fit of rage. Her parents say the normally well-behaved kid had been at it for an hour before they turned to mockery.

While the rest of the family loves his lip-syncing routine, it only increases his daughter's fury and she starts screaming 'Stop laughing at me!'
"Mom listen to me!" she yells off camera as her father imitates her facial expressions, moving his mouth to make it look as if he's also howling in anger.

The girl’s older siblings, two brothers, joined her parents in laughing at her incessant howling.

YouTube users speculated that the incident was staged, but the mom said it wasn't hard to predict what their daughter would say next after she’d been at it so long
Some viewers have speculated, however, that it could have been set up or that Sterner may have shifted the audio to make it appear more professional. But she countered by saying the girl had been screaming "the same thing over and over for an hour, so it wasn't too hard to anticipate what was going to come next."
"The 'Stop laughing at me!' was a new and unexpected twist, and he went with it. He's a pretty good actor, and was big into improv when he was younger."

The dad's improv skills proved a hit with the rest of the family and with YouTube viewers.

While many YouTube users wrote in that they found the father’s antics endearing, others didn't find the video funny.
“HILARIOUS!!!! that’s awesome I should so do this to my son next time he [decides] to go all whiny whiny scream scream lol,” one user wrote. “This made my day!” added another.

“Maybe you should address the underlying reason why your child cries for one hour over something. Or you could mock and laugh at them and upload a video onto youtube for ‘support,’” said an unimpressed viewer.
“Personally I didn’t find this funny as being laughed at when you’re in such a bad mood isn’t funny. But it’s still better than the alternative,” wrote another.
