[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want her to do, OP?  Parenting kids with behavior problems isn’t easy.

Parents who are constantly yelling at their three year olds and talking about how ashamed they are of their child’s behavior are at least as irritating as those who try to put a positive spin on it.

Just tell your friend that it’s fine that her kid didn’t get out of the pool and move on.  [/quote]

I never implied that it wasn't fine.  But describing my kid as not smart because he did get out of the pool, when he is right there listening, isn't cool.  And it's not putting a positive spin or your own child's behavior to disparage another kid in that way.  [/quote]

So this is basically a sour grapes post, then, OP. Jealous much?![/quote]

I'm not the OP, I'm the PP who she presumably was talking to with the "tell your friend that it's fine that her kid didn't get out of the pool . . ". because OP never mentioned a pool.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm OP and I didn't write the post about the pool, but it is completely the thing that I mean.  And no it's not sour grapes or jealousy that my kid isn't "gifted" in the "master negotiator" sense that their kid is.  I mean I'm the first one to admit to others that my kids aren't perfect, or to ask for advice.  You're not doing your kid any favors by saying "well I can't expect him to follow any rules because he's just too smart and figures out the loopholes!", and it makes everyone around you roll their eyes.
