[quote=Anonymous]I think the "mean mom" had an interesting point that has now been buried by umpteen posts of crazy name-calling, ridiculing, etc. from all of the "nice mommies" out there.

Here are my thoughts on the topic.  Children should be helped to learn to share (and sometimes this means not FORCING the kid to share before he or she is ready, which at a young age is just scary, makes it seem like mom/dad isn't on your side, and might even backfire if the lesson is supposed to be generosity).   Children should also learn to be patient, to respect property of others, to accept it gracefully when what they want isn't immediately available to them.     The kid WITH the toy needs lesson number one, and the kid WITHOUT the coveted toy needs lesson number two.    In no event should the parent of either child get involved in trying to force their version of the "correct" lesson on the kid that isn't his or her own.

Now, back to the topic.  What do I find annoying?  Parents in their 20's, 30's, 40's who talk about "the problem with kids these days."    Any time I see "these days" or "nowadays" in a post I get prepared for a crazy rant that is usually a gross generalization and sounds like it should be coming out of the mouth of an eighty year old who hates children.[/quote]
