[quote=Anonymous][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. I'm not really caring if any toddler, including my own, is "frustrated" with life - they'll deal.[/quote]

I'm the mom of the bath water boy...and also the one who said I won't put him in timeout because of it. When he gets into the tub, he doesn't like the temperature of the water and I don't know if he wants it hotter or colder. I don't think he knows either, but if I pretend to make it better, it makes it better, problem solved. I pick my battles and this is certainly not one of them. I do truly feel sad that your kid has a mom who doesn't care to learn how he operates or why he does what he does. [/quote]
