[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are raising some brats. Crying is one thing when upset but the lying on the floor screaming for 20 minutes? Wait for it...wait for it....BUT ALL KIDS DO THAT! Nope, they don't. Only when you allow it.[/quote]

+1. I'm not getting what's so cute about the mostly bratty behavior on this thread. Sure the occasional 18 month old who wants to touch the moon but freaks out when he can't is cute. But meltdowns over candy, broken granola bars, bath water being too hot/cold, showers being too short and whatever else is supposed to be cute? My kid would be in perpetual time out for such behavior.[/quote]

I feel sorry for your kid. I'm not putting my 2yo in timeout for being confused about how to tell me his water is too hot or too cold. Life is crazy frustrating for a toddler/preschooler.[/quote]

His bath water wasn't too hot or too cold as that poster said -- she was just pouring in water to make him shut up. So I'm thinking he was just barking orders to get mom and dad to jump at his command, not because he was actually uncomfortable.[b] I'm not really caring if any toddler, including my own, is "frustrated" with life - they'll deal[/b].[/quote]

You're bragging about your total lack of empathy for your child?  Wow.

So I'm curious.  Would you "care" if an elderly woman who lost her ability to speak coherently was frustrated?  Or uncomfortable?  Or just plain angry or sad about her inability to communicate effectively or make her own choices?

How about your spouse if he or she developed Parkinsons or some other degenerative disease that similarly impaired their ability to communicate clearly and meet their own needs independently?

Basically, I'm wondering whether you're equally insensitive to everyone's feelings and limitations, or whether you reserve your indifference small children?[/quote]
