[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One does, one does not. They are parented exactly the same way. Everyone is an awesome parent until they, you know, have kids to parent. So, yes, stop judging. My son was a dream at 13 months - sweetest smiley-est baby, and at 4, has significant ADHD and an actual defiance problem. So, while follow through is good, parenting does not a compliant child make most of the time. [/quote]

Spot on, stop judging until you are in it. We give threats to our son, in hopes that he will comply. We also take him out of the tantrum or whatever if we say you won't go X,Y,z if you keep doing that. And we will pull him aside for a few minutes from doing X, Y, Z activity until he realizes there's a consequence. He's 2.75 yo and in the scheme of the world, still young and has a lot to learn about actions and consequences.

Not following up with an empty threat could make them not want to listen more, but your SIL might  know that it is not the right hill to die on this time.
