[quote=Anonymous]PP, it's not that I have sympathy for the 14 year old, exactly. But I have had too much experience with babies that cry incessantly. I was 34 at the time and even I could feel rage after hour three of the baby Not. Shutting. Up. I never hit my baby, but I did very forcefully put him down in his crib. My rage shocked me, but again, I was mid 30s at the time. A 14 year old still has a developing brain and is not fully in control of his emotions and reactions. THat's why we don't consider him yet an adult. That's why we don't let him drive a car or drink. If this baby was sleeping peacefully, and he just up and started wailing on her, then yes, he is a monster. If this baby was crying for 3 hours and he couldn't make her be quiet and he felt sudden rage (as I admit I have experienced) then this is a horrible situation, that he wasn't in any way prepared for.
