[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because strong-willed children make everyone around them miserable. I'm sorry but it's true. I don't know what the deal with your niece is. Doesn't every child hate having their teeth brushed? But my best friend's son is strong-willed and we had to stop hanging out with her altogether. It's not just having to deal with his constant tantrums when things don't go his way, it was him bullying every kid around him into giving him his way, too. My kids are their own people, but they don't have the stamina that he does to argue Every. Little. Thing. when they get together. Result: They had to do what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it, exactly how he wanted it done, or endure endless harassing and arguing. I finally said enough and my friend and I  only get together as adults now. That kid may well be a top executive one day, but I know for a fact he doesn't get invited to many playdates now. [/quote]

Omg!

This was us last year. I told my best friend her kid was too much. The kid is eleven years old and everything must be his way or argue to death. It was unbelievable to watch and my kids refused to play with him.[/quote]
