They let their kids run roughshod and tell them how things are going to go instead of the other way around. [/quote]

This thread is very eye opening.

If your kid is so stubborn that they refuse to wear a coat in 20° weather to the point that they will throw a tantrum, then you have somehow screwed up parenting when they were younger. Raising entitled, stubborn, know-it-all kids is a major parenting fail.

Yes, it’s such a parenting fail to not fully break the will of a stubborn child when they’re young. Moron.[/quote]

I'm sure one day when your child is a teen you'll be singing a different tune. Until then, enjoy your ignorance. [/quote]

My oldest is a teen. I’ve never subscribed to the “total compliance, or else” model of parenting. Children should have some measure of control over their lives. If that means taking off their coat and being cold as a consequence, that’s fine. [/quote]

You have no rules they just have to follow without having any input. Because I find that to be extremely implausible.[/quote]

Nowhere did I say there are no rules for my kids.

Let’s be real here. You have to keep wildly misinterpreting people’s posts because you have decided to dig in your heels and win this Very Important Internet Argument even though you know it’s ridiculous. So you claim that it’s not possible for a child who owns a coat to not be wearing that coat if it’s cold out. That anyone whose child is seen in public without a coat must be a neglectful parent. That anyone who contradicts you on either of those first two points must therefore also be a terrible parent. You are f-ing nuts, and I’m sorry for having wasted any amount of my life interacting with you.[/quote]

Please don't talk to me about not having "total compliance, or else" while at the same time admitting that some things matter to you enough to have that exact thing as a part of your parenting. It makes you sound dumb and hypocritical. You are a terrible parent if you can't do the basics like dress your children for the day ahead. The bar is very low for you apparently.[/quote]

This sort of black and white thinking is so typical of the parent who find themselves cut off by their kids. The name calling, lack of nuance, rigid thinking, it all points to a certain type of person. [/quote]

You know you've lost the thread when you have to start making stuff up.....[/quote]

If that was true this would have been over on page 1. But someone who can't imagine kids running hot has just gone on and on with the vitriol for pages. It's bizarre.[/quote]

:roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  Yeah it's totally normal and NOT bizzare to keep insisting that kids don't need coats when it's 15 degrees outside. [/quote]
