None of the other kids cried or screamed like that

Just want to check if my DD, 3.5’s behaviour seems normal and how you’d react if it was your child.
Took her on one of the those remote control cars at the shopping centre.
She had great fun and really enjoyed it…until it ended. Her dad reversed her into the car part and we said how fun it was, she was great at driving etc and it had finished now and we were off to get some nice lunch.
She screamed like I’ve not seen her do before, I had to get her out of the car, whilst she shouted and cried and proceeded to bite my shoulder. She then did the same as we were walking around a shop and she wouldn’t put a soft toy back, she has plenty of treats and it’s just been Xmas etc. Dp had to pick her up as she wouldn’t co operate, again she shouted and cried and tried to bite his shoulder.
Worth noting she was tired, but is that normal?! None of the other children reacted like that. Lately she just seems to be shouting so much and isn’t that pleasant to be around. We love her dearly, but it’s such a struggle, she’s so strong willed.
Is this normal behaviour and how would you deal with it? Is she being spoilt, do we need to be stronger/stricter (Dp thinks so) or is this just her age etc?

Hahaha thank you but I am not. Last night I was changing my 3yo DS' nappy. He had done a giant ball-shaped poo and a tiny pellet-shaped poo. I didn't notice but the pellet shaped bit rolled out of the nappy and onto the floor. There was dried mud and leaves everywhere from the buggy wheels so when DS said "Mummy is that poo on the floor?" I said no it's just mud. By the time I noticed he'd stepped in it it was trodden over half the house including on the baby blanket knitted by SIL that can't be washed D: D: D:

Love stuntbubbles' DD's logic - brilliant.

My eldest son was just like that, and it did stand out as his friends were very quiet boys, it was hard work tbh.

Yes, it's awful when you're hanging out with sweet natured, biddable children with a reliable recall. You feel like the world's worst mum.

don't worry OP, i'm sue wits nothing to worry about, most toddlers have their moments! For when she needs some quiet time to calm down is definitely reccomend audiobooks, they'll give her something else to focus on other than being angry aha x
