[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go to midnight mass, open one small present when we get home. The kids wait until parents are caffeinated, open stockings taking turns so one present at a time, eat breakfast and then we finish opening gifts. The whole tear everything open, kids can’t wait a second is ridiculous no matter how old your children are. [/quote] Totally not the point of this thread, though. This thread is about OP's manipulative temper tantrum, not about when and how you have breakfast on Christmas morning. Frankly it wouldn't have mattered if it was breakfast that caused OP's temper tantrum; if it hadn't been breakfast it would have been something else triggered by a four-year-old. [/quote] Now a parent appropriately disciplining a child is having a manipulative temper tantrum? This thread is like a freaking alternate universe. Some of you are so incredibly nasty - on Christmas no less. The level of vitriol directed toward op is insane. So what if she didn't arrange the morning to perfectly suit a small child. Stuff happens. And yeah, the kid getting upset was foreseeable, but again, so what? That's a par bring choice op is entitled to make and if she is willing to deal with the consequences, who cares? She's a terrible person for interrupting present opening? For having family breakfast? For feeding her kid breakfast? Being stricter than her husband with discipline is also not a crime. You posters screaming about how she's a tyrant who needs to learn to forgive should look in a mirror sometime. [/quote] I completely agree. And OP is pregnant. Usually the DCUM masses proclaim that a pregnant woman gets to do whatever she wants and everyone must cater to her needs—especially if in-laws are involved! But apparently everyone feels the need to pile on today because god forbid someone discipline a bratty 4 year old. I mean, congratulations? Y’all are superior? Is that what you wanted to hear?[/quote]
