Difference between whining and tantrum?

Dcubed

To me they are both annoying but I don't really know the difference...does whining include crying or is it just the annoying noise and sound in their voice?

DD whining "I waaaaaannnnnt to goooooo to the paaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrk"

DD tantrum "NO! I don't WANT to MOMMY, I'm MAD!!" and stomping off in a huff.

DS whining is just crying at this point. 

DS tantrums - throws self violently onto the floor, writhes, screams as if in pain, arches back, kicks, hits.....  but he's cute!

 BWAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA~!!!!!  Have you been in my house?  Except DS's tantrums include a combo of your DD's and DS's - fun times.

Whining= fake crying (no tears), overly dramatic

Tantrum= demanding, "I want popcicle NOW!", throwing self on floor, screaming

If you have to ask the difference you haven't experienced a tantrum.  Count yourself lucky.  And tell me your secret.

For DD, whining is just the voice. The tone, even if she's asking for something, a normal question, it can come out in a whine. A tantrum involves being p*ssed off & angry about something.
